Climaflex Pipe Insulation 15mm x 19mm x 1mtr

For a short, exposed stretch of 15mm pipe, a 1 metre piece of Climaflex pipe insulation 15mm x 19mm is often all you need. The 19mm wall gives more cover than the thinner standard grades.

Short lengths of Climaflex pipe insulation

Outside tap feeds through a cavity, a pipe crossing a garage, or the cold feed coming up through a draughty floor are typical jobs. Those short bits are where frost tends to strike, so a heavier wall there makes sense. A 1m length is easy to handle and leaves little waste.

• 15mm bore
• 19mm wall
• 1m long
• Polyethylene foam lagging

Measure the run before cutting, and allow a little extra so the ends butt hard together. If the pipe is already fitted, cut along one side and fit it over. Tape every join and seam. Lagging alone will not save an outside tap in a hard frost, so put an isolating valve on the indoor side and drain the tap for winter.

Common Questions

Why choose a 1m length of 15mm x 19mm?

It is handy for short cold runs, such as the feed to an outside tap or a pipe in a garage corner. You only buy what the job needs.

Can I cut the 1m tube shorter?

Yes, a sharp knife or scissors cut it cleanly. Cut square so the ends butt tight.

Should the joints be taped?

Yes, tape every butt joint and slit so cold air cannot reach the pipe. Gaps are where pipes freeze first.
