The THERMAFLEX Thermocomp IS 22/6 is a high-performance insulation pipe engineered to provide superior thermal protection for plumbing and heating systems. Constructed from durable polyethylene foam, this insulation solution is specifically designed to minimize heat loss and prevent condensation on pipe surfaces, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency of residential and commercial infrastructure.
Advantages
This insulation pipe offers excellent thermal resistance due to its low thermal conductivity coefficient, ensuring that fluids within the pipes maintain their desired temperature for longer periods. The material is lightweight, flexible, and easy to handle, which simplifies the installation process even in confined spaces. Its robust structure provides long-term reliability and protection against environmental factors, contributing to the longevity of the piping system.
Suitable for
- Thermal insulation of hot and cold water supply pipes
- Heating system pipework in residential buildings
- Commercial plumbing installations
- Prevention of condensation on cold water lines
When it may not be suitable
This product is not designed for outdoor applications where it would be directly exposed to prolonged UV radiation or extreme weather conditions without additional protective cladding. It is also not suitable for high-temperature steam lines or industrial processes exceeding the maximum operating temperature of 95°C.

How to use
To install the THERMAFLEX Thermocomp IS 22/6, measure the length of the pipe section to be insulated and cut the insulation material accordingly using a sharp utility knife. Slide the insulation over the pipe, ensuring a snug fit. For optimal performance, ensure that all joints are tightly butted together and secured with appropriate adhesive tape to prevent thermal bridging.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the outer diameter of your existing piping to ensure a proper fit with the 22 mm inner diameter.
- Calculate the total length required for your project, keeping in mind that each unit is 2 meters long.
- Assess the environmental conditions of the installation site to ensure they fall within the specified temperature range.
Usage recommendations
For the best results, ensure the pipe surface is clean and dry before applying the insulation. When installing on bends, miter-cut the insulation to maintain a continuous thermal barrier without gaps.
