Aeroflex Self-Seal Pipe Insulation is an EPDM closed-cell elastomeric pipe insulation. Aeroflex pipe insulation is commonly used to conserve energy and prevent condensation on piping applications both hot and cold. Aeroflex Self-Seal Pipe Insulation is pre-slit with a dual tape closure for quick and easy install. Aeroflex pipe insulation's lap has a pre-installed Protape seam closure which provides superior condensation control and protection against UV and moisture intrusion.
Applications:
- HVAC
- VRF - Variable Refrigerant Flow
- Chilled Water
- Refrigeration
- Hot and Cold Water Plumbing

*Insulating pipe wrap is sold in 6 foot lengths (Note: we bend the 6 ft lengths to fit inside our 3ft long boxes)
Rubber Adhesive can be used to adhere sections together along with Aeroflex Pro-Tape for the seams. Foam Rubber Tape is used for valves and other hard to insulate areas. PVC Cut & Curl Jacketing and Aluminum Jacketing can also be used over the rubber pipe insulation for weather and UV protection.
*Wall thickness = 1/2" thick
*Pipe Sizing is listed as ID (Inner Diameter of the tube). Listed in parenthesis will be CT (Copper Tubing Inner Diameter) as well as the IPS (Iron Pipe Size).
EXAMPLE: Pipe Size: 1-1/8 in. (1 CT | 3/4 IPS) will have an inner diameter of 1-1/8". This will fit 1" Copper Tubing (ID) and 3/4" IPS.
*If you have any questions on sizing please feel free to chat, email, or call us to double check before ordering this split foam pipe wrap insulation.

Excellent!
Great ease of use. Self sealing alone usually does not work that well, the self seal with lap is so easy to use!

Perfect

Easy to work with, but seemed like old stock
One of the 3 tubes I ordered had a squished end and squished interior edges, so the two sides could not join cleanly. Instead the flattened edge wanted to adhere to the pipe rather than to the other side of the tube. I doubt the squishing happened in the short time of shipping; more likely in warehouse storage. On all the tubes, the interior adhesive at the tube split seemed excellent in some places, barely sticky at all in others, and in a few places even pulled away from the rubber with the peel-away paper that protected it. What saved the day was the extra tape seal that wraps around the seam. As long as that holds well, the surprisingly faulty interior joins should not matter as much. If that tape fails, then this insulation is iffy. So, the quality is a mixed bag, but leaving those glitches aside, it was easy to work with and quick to install. Would be great if it came in white.

Looks great
Easy to install, seems very secure with the overlap flap, and looks neat and clean after installation. My application was some slightly curved copper pipes, and this had no problem following the curves (probably 30-45 degree bends). I bought the 7/8" version (normally for 3/4" ID copper pipe) to fit over 1/2" ID copper + a heating cable along its length and it fits very well.
In my case, there were no creases after unfolding from the shipping box like the other review mentioned - the installed tube looks perfectly cylindrical. -
Extremely easy to use!
Couldn’t be anymore easy to apply to water lines! Simply had to slide around the pipe and seal it. Looks a lot more clean and nicer then the foam pipe insulation that most people use in my opinion.

Product is ok
The insulation is fine the packing is some what damaging folding this product causes creases not good for the r value.
**Doug, shipping in a 6ft long box would be extremely expensive so we bend them in half to fit in a 3ft box. The insulation and r-value should not be affected by the bend once installed on the pipe. ~BIP
