Product Details
Insul-Tube® is designed for use in the HVAC and refrigeration industry to retard heat gain and prevent condensation or frost formation on refrigerant lines, cold water plumbing, and chilled water systems. This pipe insulation also retards heat flow for hot water plumbing, liquid heating, dual temperature piping, and various solar systems. It is made from a UV resistant elastomeric blend that is non-porous, non-fibrous, and resistant to mold growth due to an EPA registered antimicrobial agent incorporated into the product. For moderate UV exposure, no additional protective coating is required, but for severe UV exposure or where optimum performance is necessary, a 374 protective coating or approved jacketing or cladding should be utilized. Insul-Tube® complies with various specifications including ASTM C 534 Type 1 (tubing) Grade 1, ASTM D 1056-00-2C1, New York City MEA 186-86-M Vol. IV, USDA requirements, UL 94-5V flammability classification (recognition no. E300774), and ASTM E 84 2" 25/50 tested according to UL 723 and NFPA 255. It also meets the requirements of CAN/ULC S102 03, FMRC Approval Guide Chapter 14 for pipe insulation, NFPA No. 101 Class A rating, and the supplementary materials for air distribution systems as per NFPA 90A Section 2.3.3. Furthermore, it meets ASTM C 411 test method for hot surface performance of high temperature thermal insulation and UL 181 Sections 11.0 and 16.0 for mold growth and air erosion, and is sold in package quantities of 16, priced each.
