Pipe Insulation 2m Length 15mm to 28mm

Economy Pipe Insulation 2m Length is budget lagging in 2m tubes, made for 15mm, 22mm or 28mm pipe. A longer tube means fewer joins on a straight run.

Economy pipe insulation 2m: sizes and uses

• 15mm pipe
• 22mm pipe
• 28mm pipe
• 2m long tubes

Long runs are where the 2m tube saves time. Think of the cold main across a loft, the feed and vent pipes to a tank, or heating pipes under a suspended timber floor. Every joint is a possible gap, so fewer joints usually means a better job.

Choose 15mm for most supplies to taps and radiators. Use 22mm for heating mains and larger feeds, and 28mm for bigger systems. The tube should fit snugly with no loose gap round the pipe.

Lagging helps cold pipes resist frost and keeps heat in hot ones. Because it is the economy grade, it is a sensible pick for general lagging where cost matters. For very cold spaces, a thicker wall from the main range may be the better option.

Slit or open the tube along its length, press it over the pipe and close it. Tape the seams and the joins between lengths. Mitre the ends at bends.

Common Questions

Which pipe sizes does the 2m economy lagging fit?

It comes in three sizes, for 15mm, 22mm and 28mm pipe. Choose the one that matches the pipe so the tube closes snugly with no gap.

Does lagging hot pipes save money?

Yes. Less heat is lost on the way to the tap or radiator, so the boiler runs less and hot water arrives sooner. It is worth doing on any pipe in a cold space.

Should I tape the joins on economy lagging?

Yes, tape the slit and every join between lengths. Gaps let the cold straight onto the pipe, and that is often where a freeze starts.
