K-flex 13-035 Pipe Insulation, 13 mm Wall Thickness, 35 mm Inner Diameter

K-flex 13-035 pipe insulation is a professional-grade thermal insulation solution engineered for pipes with a 35 mm outer diameter. Manufactured from high-quality flexible elastomeric foam, this insulation material provides a robust barrier against heat loss and condensation buildup. With a wall thickness of 13 mm, it is specifically designed to maintain the efficiency of heating, plumbing, and air conditioning systems by ensuring stable thermal performance across a wide range of operating temperatures.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this K-flex insulation is its exceptional thermal efficiency, which significantly reduces energy consumption in HVAC systems. Its flexible elastomeric structure allows for easy handling and installation, even in confined spaces or around complex pipe bends. The material is highly durable and resistant to environmental factors, ensuring long-term protection against corrosion and moisture-related damage. Furthermore, it provides effective acoustic dampening, which helps to reduce noise generated by fluid flow within the piping network.

Suitable for

• Heating system piping
• Plumbing and water supply lines
• Air conditioning and refrigeration systems
• Residential and commercial HVAC installations

When it may not be suitable

This product is not designed for outdoor applications where it would be directly exposed to intense UV radiation without additional protective cladding. It is also not suitable for high-temperature industrial steam lines that exceed the maximum operating temperature of 110°C.

Key specifications

• Material: Flexible elastomeric foam
• Inner diameter: 35 mm
• Wall thickness: 13 mm
• Length: 2 m
• Operating temperature range: -165°C to +110°C
• Thermal conductivity: 0.04 W/(m·K)

How to use

To install the K-flex 13-035 insulation, measure the length of the pipe section and cut the foam tube to the required size using a sharp knife. If the pipe is already installed, slit the insulation longitudinally, wrap it around the pipe, and seal the seam using appropriate adhesive or tape to ensure a continuous thermal barrier. Ensure that all joints are tightly sealed to prevent air gaps where condensation could form.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your pipes matches the 35 mm inner diameter of the insulation.
• Ensure the operating temperature of your system falls within the -165°C to +110°C range.
• Consider purchasing additional adhesive or specialized tape for securing the seams.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure that the pipe surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before applying the insulation. Always seal all longitudinal seams and butt joints with compatible adhesive to maintain the integrity of the thermal insulation system.
