THERMAFLEX THERMOCOMP IS 18/9 Insulation Pipe

The THERMAFLEX THERMOCOMP IS 18/9 insulation pipe is a professional-grade solution engineered for the thermal management of plumbing and heating systems. Designed to fit pipes with an 18 mm diameter, this polyethylene insulation provides a robust barrier that minimizes heat loss and prevents condensation, contributing to the overall energy efficiency of residential and commercial infrastructure.

Advantages

This insulation pipe offers excellent thermal performance due to its low thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.038 W/(m·K). Its durable polyethylene construction ensures long-term stability and resistance to environmental factors, while the 9 mm wall thickness provides an optimal balance between space-saving design and effective insulation. The material is lightweight and flexible, allowing for straightforward installation even in confined spaces, and its consistent density of 40 kg/m³ ensures uniform protection along the entire length of the pipe.

Suitable for

• Thermal insulation of heating system pipes
• Condensation prevention in cold water supply lines
• Residential plumbing installations
• Commercial building HVAC piping systems

When it may not be suitable

This product is not designed for outdoor applications exposed to direct UV radiation or extreme weather conditions without additional protective covering. It is also not suitable for high-temperature steam lines that exceed the maximum operating temperature of +95°C.

Key specifications

• Material: Polyethylene (PE)
• Inner diameter: 18 mm
• Wall thickness: 9 mm
• Length: 2 m
• Operating temperature range: -80°C to +95°C
• Thermal conductivity: 0.038 W/(m·K)
• Material density: 40 kg/m³

How to use

To install the THERMAFLEX THERMOCOMP IS 18/9, measure the length of the pipe section to be insulated and cut the insulation material accordingly using a sharp knife. Slide the insulation over the pipe, ensuring a snug fit. For joints or bends, ensure the edges are tightly abutted to prevent thermal bridging. If necessary, secure the seams with appropriate adhesive tape to maintain the integrity of the insulation layer.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your existing pipe 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 for your project, keeping in mind that each unit is 2 meters long.

Usage recommendations

For optimal energy efficiency, ensure that all joints are properly sealed and that the insulation is not compressed during installation, as maintaining the specified wall thickness is critical for performance.
