Climaflex Pipe Insulation 28mm x 13mm

Bigger houses and small commercial jobs often run 28mm pipe, and Climaflex pipe insulation 28mm x 13mm is a common lagging for it. The wall is 13mm thick and it comes in 2 metre lengths.

Climaflex pipe insulation 28mm x 13mm on larger runs

Typical uses are heating mains from a larger boiler, the flow and return to a big cylinder, and 28mm cold mains. That pipe carries a lot of heat, so lagging it in voids and plant spaces saves energy. It also helps a cold main stay dry instead of dripping.

• Bore: 28mm
• Wall: 13mm
• Length: 2m
• Polyethylene foam, closed cell

Work along the run, pushing each length tight against the last and taping the joins. At bends, cut a mitre so the foam does not crease. Keep the foam back from valve handles and drain cocks so they still turn. In a cold area, a thicker wall will do a better job. Label the flow and return before you cover them, so the next engineer knows which is which.

Common Questions

What lagging suits 28mm heating mains?

In heated spaces and plant rooms, 13mm is a common choice. For cold areas pick a thicker wall.

Should I label pipes before lagging?

Yes, mark flow and return on the lagging so the next engineer knows which is which.

Can lagging go over valve handles?

Keep it clear of handles and drain cocks so they can still be turned.
