Product selection and use guide
Armaflex Pipe Insulation for Air Conditioning belongs to the elastomeric insulation range; tubing and sheet forms have different cutting and joint requirements. The pipe form follows the circumference of the insulated line.
How to choose
Determine thickness from pipe or duct conditions, ambient moisture and condensation-control objectives. Match product series, adhesive and support details. Measure the actual outside diameter; nominal pipe size is not always the outside diameter. Specify insulation thickness and details for elbows, valves and supports.
Applications to consider
Consider tubing on AC or refrigeration pipe runs according to the material series, operating conditions and condensation-control design.
Use limitations
Closed-cell material does not make open joints vapour-tight. Do not stretch tubing or assume tape alone suits every joint; check outdoor protection requirements.
Pre-order checklist
- Send operating conditions as project requirements, surface dimensions and ambient conditions.
- Confirm thickness, series, adhesive, support details and surface protection.
- Send the outside diameter, line length, fitting count and required thickness.
Frequently asked questions
Why should pipe tubing not be forced to expand?
Forcing the size can change thickness and joint details. Choose tubing diameter to match the pipe.
Is wrapping pipe joints with tape enough?
Follow the system tubing bonding and closure detail; tape does not automatically replace pipe adhesive.
How should pipe elbows and supports be handled?
Plan fitting cuts, supports and joints that maintain insulation and vapour-control continuity.
Is nominal pipe size enough to select pipe insulation?
Not always. Match the pipe outside diameter to the insulation inside diameter to avoid a loose or forced fit.
