THERMAFLEX THERMOCOMP IS 18/6 Insulation Pipe

The THERMAFLEX THERMOCOMP IS 18/6 is a professional-grade insulation pipe designed to provide superior thermal protection for various piping systems. Engineered from high-quality polyethylene, this insulation sleeve is specifically crafted to minimize heat loss in heating installations and prevent the formation of condensation in plumbing systems. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance, making it an essential component for maintaining energy efficiency in both residential and commercial infrastructure.

Advantages

This insulation pipe offers excellent thermal resistance due to its low thermal conductivity coefficient, which effectively keeps fluids at the desired temperature. The flexible polyethylene material is lightweight and easy to handle, allowing for quick installation even in tight spaces. Its high material density ensures long-term durability and resistance to mechanical wear, providing reliable protection throughout the lifespan of the piping system. By reducing energy waste, this product contributes to lower operational costs and improved environmental sustainability.

Suitable for

• Heating system pipework
• Domestic hot and cold water plumbing
• Residential building infrastructure
• Commercial HVAC piping

This product may not be suitable for outdoor installations 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 limit of 95°C.

• Material: Polyethylene (PE)
• Inner diameter: 18 mm
• Wall thickness: 6 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 THERMOCOMP IS 18/6, measure the length of the pipe section to be insulated and cut the insulation sleeve accordingly using a sharp knife. Slide the sleeve over the pipe, ensuring a snug fit around the entire circumference. For optimal performance, ensure that all joints are tightly butted together and secured with appropriate adhesive tape to prevent thermal bridging. The flexibility of the material allows it to be easily navigated around bends and fittings.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your pipes matches the 18 mm inner diameter of the insulation.
• Ensure the operating temperature of your system stays within the -80°C to +95°C range.
• Calculate the total length required, accounting for potential waste during cutting.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, ensure the pipe surface is clean and dry before applying the insulation. When installing on long runs, stagger the joints to maintain structural integrity and consistent thermal protection across the entire system.
