Thermaflex FRZ Pipe Insulation 114/13

Thermaflex FRZ pipe insulation is a professional-grade thermal solution engineered for pipes with an outer diameter of 114 mm. Constructed from high-quality polyethylene foam with a wall thickness of 13 mm, this insulation provides an effective barrier against heat loss, condensation buildup, and freezing temperatures. Its flexible design allows for easy installation on various piping systems, contributing to improved energy efficiency and the longevity of plumbing and heating infrastructure in both residential and commercial settings.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this insulation is its high thermal efficiency, characterized by a low thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.035 W/(m·K). The closed-cell structure of the polyethylene foam ensures excellent moisture resistance, which is critical for preventing pipe corrosion and surface condensation. Its flexibility simplifies the application process, even in tight spaces or around bends, while the robust material density of 40 kg/m³ provides reliable mechanical protection and consistent performance across a wide operating temperature range from -80°C to +95°C.

Suitable for

• Heating system pipework
• Domestic hot and cold water plumbing
• Preventing frost damage in exposed pipes
• Reducing energy consumption in HVAC systems

When it may not be suitable

This product is not designed for outdoor applications exposed to direct, prolonged UV radiation without additional protective cladding. It is also not intended for use in high-temperature industrial steam lines that exceed the maximum operating temperature of +95°C.

Key specifications

• Material: Polyethylene foam
• Inner diameter: 114 mm
• Wall thickness: 13 mm
• Length: 2 m
• Thermal conductivity: 0.035 W/(m·K)
• Operating temperature range: -80°C to +95°C
• Material density: 40 kg/m³

How to use

To install the Thermaflex FRZ insulation, measure the length of the pipe section and cut the foam tube accordingly using a sharp knife. If the pipe is already installed, the insulation can be slit longitudinally if necessary, or slid over the pipe during the installation phase. Ensure all joints are tightly butted together to maintain thermal integrity. For optimal performance, secure the seams with appropriate adhesive or insulation tape to prevent air gaps.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the exact outer diameter of your pipe to ensure a proper fit.
• Calculate the total linear meters required for your project.
• Ensure the operating temperature of your system falls within the specified range.
• Consider whether additional protective covering is needed for your specific environment.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, ensure that the pipe surface is clean and dry before applying the insulation. When installing in cold environments, allow the material to reach room temperature before handling to maintain maximum flexibility and ease of installation.
