5M Pack 15mm pipe x 13mm thick Foam Pipe Insulation Lagging Wrap Roll

Product Information

Central heating pipes – all central heating pipes should be lagged as they go to the radiators. Eg pipes under wooden floors Pipe insulation is a low-cost way to boost your energy efficiency in your home. By inexpensively insulating pipes you can insulate your central heating domestically to increase its performance and you can prevent pipework from freezing in loft spaces for example. Pipe insulation, or pipe lagging as it’s commonly known, can also provide some acoustic qualities by dampening noise made by fluid travelling through a pipe.

Also with an operating temperature of -50°C to +110°C, this phenolic rigid pipe insulation could be the only pipe covering you will need for your project. Kooltherm pipe insulation is suitable to insulate both heating and chilled water lines. Therefore, this high performance pipe insulation, not only prevents moisture from the surroundings from entering the pipes or the application but also stops mould growth and prevents condensation. This in turn protects pipes from corrosion. Kingspan Pipe Insulation is Environmentally-Friendly: Kingspan pipe insulation can be used to insulate all types of pipework including mild steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, copper, multiplex and plastic pipework. Kingspan Pipe Insulation is the most thermally efficient insulation material commonly used for insulating pipes with ahermal conductivity of just0.025 W/m·K (at 10°C mean in accordance with EN14314) If your loft in insulated the heat from your living space will not rise into the loft warming it and the pipes that run through it.

Generally you will find that there are two numbers written of the lagging. These refer to the size of the relevant sizes: The Kooltherm Pipe InsulationSystem comprises a full range of prefabricated pipe components and accessories. Besides large-diameter pipes, Kooltherm pipe insulationalso includes tees, bends, valves, and flanges. These components are factory-prefabricated and are incredibly easy to install. Kingspan Kooltherm pipe insulation has a closed-cell structure

In principle this is all that there is to is, however there are a number of areas that might cause you difficulties. Here’s how to deal with them: Joining lengths of insulation Exposed external pipework in likely to freeze in winter when the air temperature drops below freezing and this can cause the pipes to burst. Pipes in Lofts It's only really bested by Aerogel pipe insulation, which is not something that is widely available due to its cost and difficulty to install. Therefore it could be said that Kingspan pipe insulation isthe best pipe lagging if judged by its ability to thermally insulate pipework alone. It is easy to install and works well on all kinds of pipework across project types. Also, since Kingspan phenolic insulation works most efficiently in the temperature range of -50°C to +110°C, they function as the ideal pipe wrap, not only to maintain the temperature of hot water but also to protect pipes from freezing. Felt or Wool pipe insulation; These are “sleeves” or rolls of natural insulating materials which can be wrapped around the pipes to insulate themTo choose the right Kingspan kooltherm phenolic foam pipe insulation for your application you will first need to know the type of pipe you are insulating and also its size or outer diameter. Copper pipes are thinner, so if the pipe size is 15mm, a 15mm pipe section will work for your application. The perfect solution for where Waterproof Pipe Lagging is required. Once sealed, it will not allow water ingress which can cause problems with water freezing under the insulation. Its CFC-free and HCFC-free certifications ensure that it is both energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. When you come across a T-join in your pipes that you need to insulation you can get over this by cutting a 45o notch out of the pipe in the top of the “T” and then shaping the end of the joining insulation to fit into this: We have also written extensive articles on the subject which you can find here - Pipe Insulation Articles

These are often leading to outside and garden taps ( you can learn how to install an outside tap here). Make sure that you insulate the whole length of the exposed pipe work, including any couplings, joins and event taps. Another great feature of this premium performance pipe insulation is its outstanding fire resistance. Its dense cross-linked structure creates a carbonaceous layer that limits the spread of flame and heat in case of a fire. It is also lightweight, making it easy to install. And because it has a very low thermal conductivity, it is also ideal for use in confined spaces. How to choose Kingspan kooltherm phenolic foam Pipe Insulation Online? For straight runs:Measure the length of the pipe you have to insulate. Wipe the pipe surface clean and free of any oil or debris. Cut the Kingspan Kooltherm section using a sharp utility knife and slide it over the pipe. Use foil tape or adhesive to seal the ends of the insulation together. Kingspan Kooltherm is made with phenolic foam. But, what is phenolic insulation or phenolic foam insulation?

Why use pipe insulation and pipe lagging?

Kingspan Kooltherm insulation has a low thermal conductivity of 0.025 W/m*K, making it the most thermally efficient pipe lagging available. Low thermal conductivity means this phenolic foam pipe lagging does not allow heat to pass through its fabric easily. The closed cell structure of Kingspan Kooltherm pipe insulationmeans that it is resistant to fire and moisture. The rigid phenolic core and fibre-free construction also make it lightweight and easy to handle. Its high fire resistance rating makes it suitable for any type of pipework, including water pipes. Periodically you will need to join two pieces of the insulation. You should tape the join so that there is an tight seal. Some people advocate using specialist insulation tape, while this cannot hurt you can use duct tape just effectively so long as you make sure that the joints are snug and the two pieces of insulation are pushed firmly together before taping.

T-shaped bends: First, trim a 90-degree wedge out of the main portion of pipe insulation to form a piece of insulation that covers a T branch. To create a point, cut the tube's end that will be connected at a 90° angle at two 45° angles. After that, insert the pointed end into the main tube's 90° cutout. To seal the joint, put the foil tape around the T-piece When you have all the tools you’re ready to fit the insulation to the pipes. Using this split foam insulation this is relatively easy; split the insulation and feed it around the pipe so that the pipe is surrounded by insulation:

Sorry

Kingspan pipe insulation is CFC/HCFC-free andhas a low Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP and low Global Warming Potential (GWP). Top Tip: Use a bread knife of similar serrated knife for cutting the foam insulation as it is much easier. Sturdy scissors can be helpful for notching out insulation (see below how to insulate bends in pipes). As well as protection from physical damage, Armaflex Tuffcoat Outdoor Pipe Insulation is also an excellent solution for those who require waterproof external pipe insulation. Once installed and sealed, the material can withstand anything the elements can throw at it! Foil pipe insulation with a closed-cell structure offers high resistance to moisture ingress and permeation whichprotects pipes from moisture issues such as corrosion and adverse reactions.
