Climaflex Pipe Insulation 22mm x 19mm

Climaflex pipe insulation 22mm x 19mm gives a 22mm pipe a 19mm wall of foam, so it suits pipes in colder places than the airing cupboard. It comes in 2 metre lengths.

Where thicker Climaflex pipe insulation pays off

Cold water mains running across a loft, feeds to a cold water tank, and heating pipes passing through an unheated garage are all good examples. The thicker wall slows heat loss on hot pipes and gives cold pipes more time before frost gets at them. It also helps stop condensation dripping from cold mains.

• Bore: 22mm
• Wall: 19mm
• 2m length
• Polyethylene foam with closed cells

Lagged, the pipe is about two and a half inches across, so check clips and holes. In a loft, lay the pipe under the loft insulation where you can, and lag it where you cannot. Tape every join. Lag the tank feed right up to the tank connector, because that is a common freezing point. The overflow pipe is worth covering where it runs inside the loft as well.

Common Questions

What size lagging do I need for a loft pipe?

For 22mm pipe in a cold loft, a thicker wall such as 19mm or 25mm gives better frost cover than the slim sizes.

Does lagging stop a pipe freezing?

It slows heat loss, which buys time, but a pipe left in a long freeze can still freeze. Lag well and keep pipes out of draughts.

Will Climaflex stop a cold main sweating?

Yes, closed cell foam taped at every join keeps damp air off the cold pipe, which stops drips.
