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

Product Information

Manufactured in several different materials, the use of which is dependent on the application. Example materials include Beta Phenolic, Nitrile Rubber, EPDM Foam and Mineral Wool Fibre.

In terms of the tools you are going to need, here are the likely ones that you will need for fitting pipe insulation:Due to its closed-cell structure, phenolic foam pipe lagging from Kingspan Insulation restricts moisture ingress. What's more, they also have foil facings on the outside, that act as an additional moisture barrier to the application. Low thermal conductivity allowsKoolthermpipe insulation to achieve higher standards of thermal efficiency, fire resistance and compressive strength than most other insulation materials. 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. Phenolic foam is an insulating material utilised in a range of applications where higher thermal performance, fire and moisture resistance are important performance criteria. Phenolic foam insulation is usually lightweight, rigid but easy to install. Fire Resistance:

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. Kooltherm holds the highest possible BRE Green Guide rating of A+ and is manufactured to a BS EN ISO 14001: 2004 scheme, qualifying for the Responsible Sourcing credit. Kooltherm pipe insulation can be used to insulate all types of pipework. The insulation is suitable for mild steel, carbon and stainless steel, copper pipes, multiplex and plastic pipework. 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! Felt or Wool pipe insulation; These are “sleeves” or rolls of natural insulating materials which can be wrapped around the pipes to insulate themAlso, 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. 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. 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. The diameter of the pipe that this insulation will fit around. In the example below this is a 15 mm pipe. The most common sizes are 15, 22 and 28 mm

If you are lagging hot water pipes, make sure that the central heating is off and the pipes have cooled down.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.

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: Behind the pipe push the insulation so that each side of the split meets around the pipe. Then to ensure that it cannot become dislodged you should tape in in place. Sometimes people prefer to use cable ties, but it doesn’t really matter so long as the insulation is kept snugly fit around the pipe: 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.Central heating pipes – all central heating pipes should be lagged as they go to the radiators. Eg pipes under wooden floors We have also written extensive articles on the subject which you can find here - Pipe Insulation Articles The process of applying the lagging to your pipes is relatively straight forward, especially if you have the right tools for the job. However before you start it is worth making sure you are safe to start.
