About this deal
This process of producing heat releases carbon dioxide and water vapour which form an acidic wastewater mix called condensate. The condensate is released and sent out of the building through condensate pipes into the drain outside. Where is the condensate pipe on a boiler?
You may need the pipes in your domestic plumbing and heating system insulating. Or perhaps you have an industrial oil or maritime application that requires lagging. We have all these pipe sizes covered and everything in-between! Before you insulate your pipes, measure them first! Poorly fitting insulation is poor insulation! Use a tape measure and accurately measure the distance across the tube. The Outside Diameter, or O.D. The condensate pro insulation kit is specially designed with the layperson in mind, a condenser pipe insulation that allows for easy cutting, mitering, and bonding.You can create sleek, clean finishes around all pipework using Condensate Pro PPS Bond & Seal, which offers maximum protection and a finished look.Need insulation to cover the common Imperial sizes? Our insulation to suit 1/2 inch to 4 inches and every size in between is ready for immediate dispatch. A majority of today's gas boilers are high-performance condensing boilers that condense water vapour using fuel to produce heat. The heat so produced is directed to your heating system to help maintain warmer indoors.
As the saying goes a stitch in time saves 9, and not lagging condensate pipes could lead to a hefty bill to call an engineer out to fix your boiler. You may need to insulate a standard 28mm copper pipe in your indoor plumbing. If so, why not try our Armaflex Self-Seal Insulation? This will ensure you keep heat in your tubes and ultimately save you money in the long run. Moreover, by insulating condensate pipes, you ensure that they remain protected from damage due to external factors like UV, harsh climate etc, which in turn improves the overall boiler functioning. Which is the best insulation for condensate pipes? These pipes are also commonly found in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems as well as household boilers, and they can be made of a variety of materials, including copper, PVC, and aluminium. If you are unsure you can ask our team of experts for help if you can provide photos, we will try and identify the pipe for you. Why insulate condensate pipe? By insulating condensate pipes, you can ensure that these pipes do not freeze which gives you a smooth functioning boiler. Not only that, but insulating condensate pipes also reduce the risk of condensation, which in turn prevents the risk of wastewater drips damaging the structure.Water pipe insulation, or heating pipe insulation, can also prevent bacteria and mould from growing on pipes, which can affect how long they perform for and the areas surrounding them. If pipes begin to grow mould in a timber frame building they could spread this into the wood or even into surrounding insulation. This pipe insulation will perform at temperatures between -45° and +110° and at a mean temperature of 0° it will give you thermal conductivity of 0.036 W/mK. Condensate pro is designed for 32mm diameter solvent weld pipes and contains three 1m semi-rigid insulation pipes, perfect for protecting against frozen boiler outlet pipes. The UV-stable and weather-resistant coating on each length of insulation make it the perfect external condensate protection solution. They are also designed to withstand the acidic nature of the wastewater and the harsh environmental conditions.
