Pipe Insulation Foam for 32mm inside diameter Pipes ~ Air Conditioner Heat Insulation PipeCovers for Plumbers Plumbing (9/13/20mm Insulation)

Product Information

In the majority of cases, the boiler will just cease to function, leaving you without any heating during freezing temperatures, literally the worst time to have a boiler breakdown occur! We supply our portfolio of insulation to all kinds of businesses including air conditioning engineers, plumbers merchants and builders, as well as to the casual DIY-er! Pipe Insulation Features and Benefits: 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? Armacell Tuffcoat is the ideal outdoor pipe insulation solution. It will stand the test of time for those who need to insulate external pipework. This industry-leading outdoor pipe insulation based on Armaflex Class O Nitrile Foam insulation. It has an additional wrap-around self-seal plastic coating making it highly resistant to mechanical impact.

Therefore for the majority of people nitrile rubber, polyethelene or condensate pro is the easiest and most inexpensive option. How to Install Condensate pipe insulation?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? 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. The small, white plastic pipe present on the underside of a boiler that usually runs to the outside of your home and ends in the drain is the condensate pipe. It is mostly white in colour and about 20 mm-32 mm in size.

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. That being said as long as the pipe isn't leaking and it is in good condition then any kind of pipe insulation can be used but if it's not nitrile rubber or condensate pro but anything other than a closed cell foam lagging, then this will need cladding on the outside to protect it from the elements. If you have buried mains cold water pipes or ground source heat pump pipes that need both insulating and protecting, then these are the products for you. These versatile underground water pipe insulation solutions meet the de-facto specification for this application too! Armaflex Tuffcoat Outdoor Pipe Insulation - Features and Benefits: 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.

Armaflex Tuffcoat Outdoor Pipe Insulation

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. 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. 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.

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. 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! Longer lengths of condensate which have many elbows are maybe best left to professional thermal insulation contractors. Where to buy condensate pipe insulation?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. 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. Semi-gloss finish. Requires no further painting or treatment and gives the completed installation a professional look.
