Product Details
Insul-Tube® is designed to retard heat gain and prevent condensation or frost formation on refrigerant lines, cold water plumbing, and chilled water systems. It is also effective in retarding heat flow for hot water plumbing, liquid heating, dual temperature piping, and various solar systems. Specifically engineered for the HVAC and refrigeration industry, Insul-Tube® is non-porous, non-fibrous, and resistant to mold growth, incorporating an EPA registered antimicrobial agent for enhanced protection against mold, fungal, and bacterial growth. The insulation is crafted from a UV resistant elastomeric blend that does not require additional protective coating under moderate UV exposure, although for severe UV exposure such as rooftop applications, a 374 protective coating or approved jacketing or cladding is recommended. The product meets various specification compliance standards, including ASTM C 534 Type 1 (tubing) Grade 1, ASTM D 1056-00-2C1, New York City MEA 186-86-M Vol. IV, and USDA requirements. It has a UL 94-5V flammability classification (recognition No. E300774), an ASTM E 84 2" 25/50 rating according to UL 723 and NFPA 255, complies with CAN/ULC S102 03 requirements, and has FMRC approval per chapter 14 for pipe insulation. Additionally, it has an NFPA No. 101 Class A rating and meets the requirements of NFPA 90A Section 2.3.3 for supplementary materials in air distribution systems. Insul-Tube® also meets ASTM C 411 requirements for high-temperature thermal insulation performance and UL 181 sections 11.0 and 16.0 for mold growth and air erosion. The product is sold in package quantities of 4, with each unit individually priced.
