Climaflex Pipe Insulation 48mm x 13mm

Pipe measuring 48mm across the outside takes Climaflex Pipe Insulation 48mm x 13mm, which adds a 13mm foam wall. The tubes are 2m long. The material is closed cell polyethylene, fine on heating and water lines.

What 48mm Climaflex pipe insulation fits

48mm is not a copper size. So this one mostly goes on steel heating mains in older plant rooms. Measure the outside of the pipe before ordering. A tube that is too big leaves an air gap, and one too small will not close. A 13mm wall is a solid middle grade for most heating and cold water runs.

• For pipe measuring 48mm outside
• 13mm foam wall
• 2m long tubes
• Closed cell polyethylene foam
• Heating and water use

Where the pipe is already hung, run a blade down the tube and press it on round the pipe. Close the seam and push each new length up tight against the last. Glue or tape will keep the joints shut over time, though a Push Fit is fine on a dry, tidy run. Use a sharp knife and cut angled joints at bends so there are no bare patches.

Other Climaflex bores are in pipes, hoses and insulation.

Common Questions

What pipe measures 48mm?

There is no 48mm copper, so this size usually goes on steel heating mains in older plant rooms. Measure across the outside of the pipe to be sure before ordering.

What happens if the tube is a size too big?

A loose tube leaves an air gap and lets the seam gape, so cold air gets in. Too small and it will not close. Matching the bore to the pipe gives the best result.

Is 13mm enough on a 48mm steel main?

For most heating and cold water runs inside a building, 13mm is a solid middle grade. Go thicker on pipe crossing cold voids or outbuildings.
