Climaflex Pipe Insulation 22mm x 13mm x 1mtr

Airing cupboards are full of short runs of 22mm pipe, and a 1 metre length of Climaflex pipe insulation 22mm x 13mm is the easy way to lag them. The foam wall is 13mm thick.

1m Climaflex pipe insulation for cupboards and short runs

Between a cylinder, a pump and a pair of zone valves, few runs are longer than a metre. Shorter lengths are easier to work with in a cramped cupboard, and you are not left with long offcuts. They also suit the short 22mm feed to a bath or a combi.

• 22mm bore
• 13mm wall
• 1m long
• For heating and hot water pipes

Cut pieces to fit between valves and fittings, and tape each one closed along the slit. Do not cover pump unions or valve heads, because they need to be reached later. Lagging the primaries and the hot draw-off from the cylinder makes the biggest difference, so start there. Leave the cylinder thermostat and any drain cock easy to reach.

Common Questions

Is 13mm lagging enough in an airing cupboard?

Inside the heated part of the house, 13mm is a sensible cover for 22mm primaries and hot draw offs.

How do I join two pieces of Climaflex?

Butt them tight and tape across the join, or glue the ends. Pushing them together without tape leaves gaps over time.

Should I lag the pump?

Lag the pipe up to the pump unions but leave the unions and valve heads clear so they can be reached.
