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

Product Information

Kooltherm pipe insulation is a phenolic foam, rigid pipe section supplied in 1M lengths by Kingspan. This phenolic tube is known to give outstanding thermal insulation, fire resistance and moisture protection to any and all types of pipework. 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? If you are lagging hot water pipes, make sure that the central heating is off and the pipes have cooled down. Kooltherm pipe insulationis a highly efficient insulation material with very low thermal conductivity. Its thermal conductivity is only 0.021 W/mK at 10degC. This makes it one of the thinnest and most energy-efficient insulation materials available. It is also CFC-free and has zero Global Warming Potential, making it an eco-friendly choice for HVAC applications.

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.Insulating an isolation tap in a loft – Image courtesy of B&Q Further Projects to Consider After Lagging Pipes Kingspanpipe insulationsections have been developed to give optimum performance in terms of insulation efficiency, compressive strength, fire resistance, and most importantly, cost. It gives excellent value for money. In terms of the tools you are going to need, here are the likely ones that you will need for fitting pipe insulation: 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.

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. We have a video on our Youtube Channel you can watch called Everything You Need To Know About Phenolic Pipe Insulation 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. Kingspan Kooltherm’s fibre-free rigid thermoset phenolic core ensures excellent fire performance. This foam pipe insulation has a densely cross-linked structure that makes them difficult to ignite. Because of the superior fire performance of kooltherm, it can be used for insulation of pipework in building services 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.Ensure that the water that is delivered through your hot water pipes arrives where it is needed still hot 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. The BRE Green Guide has rated Kooltherm A+, which is the highest possible rating. Their manufacturing process does not release any harmful gases that cause ozone depletion or cause global warming in any way. Silver pipe lagging is also made using sustainably sourced 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. 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).
