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, as well as to impede heat flow for hot water plumbing, liquid heating, dual temperature piping, and various solar systems. Engineered for the HVAC and refrigeration industry, Insul-Tube® is made from a non-porous, non-fibrous material that resists mold growth due to the incorporation of an EPA registered antimicrobial agent. This pipe insulation is constructed from a UV resistant elastomeric blend, requiring no additional protective coating under moderate UV exposure, while severe UV exposure, such as rooftop applications, necessitates the use of 374 protective coating or approved jacketing or cladding for optimal performance. It complies with several 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), ASTM E 84 2" 25/50-tested according to UL 723 and NFPA 255, and meets the requirements of CAN/ULC S102 03. Additionally, it holds FMRC approval under guide chapter 14 for pipe insulation and is rated Class A according to NFPA No. 101, fulfilling the requirements of NFPA 90A Sect. 2.3.3 for supplementary materials in air distribution systems and ASTM C 411 for hot surface performance of high temperature thermal insulation. Furthermore, it meets requirements of UL 181 sections 11.0 and 16.0 concerning mold growth and air erosion, and is sold in a package quantity of 25.
