K-Flex 360 Insulation Pipe Supports

Description

Pipe supports create a unique insulation problem. The weight of the pipe being placed in the support can compress the insulation, reducing thickness and creating a thermal short circuit that results in potential condensation formation. The K-Flex 360 Insulated Pipe Support is one answer to this situation. K-Flex 360 Insulated Pipe Supports are specifically designed to ensure that the thickness of the insulation is not reduced by the weight of the pipe. The hinged, 360° position-free rigid polyurethane core has a high compressive load. It is joined by two elastomeric insulation collars which provide the ideal surface to adhere elastomeric tubular insulation using contact adhesive. The vapor barrier is guaranteed by the outer PVC jacket with overlapping tab system. The K-Flex 360 Insulated Pipe Support system ensures proper insulation thickness and continuity of the vapor barrier. It is available in all common ID’s in 3/4” and 1” wall thicknesses.

Installation

Using the K-Flex 360 Insulated Pipe Support system is extremely easy. Simply select the correct ID and wall thickness from the wide range of sizes available to match the pipe insulation being used. Place the insulating support around the pipe. After applying Contact Adhesive to the grooved seams, pull the release strip in the overlapping tab and seal the support. Fix the metal pipe hanger collar around the support system. Adhere the support to the elastomeric insulating material using Contact Adhesive.

K-Flex 360 Insulated Pipe Supports provide a quick, reliable alternative to traditionally recommended, more timeconsuming solutions. K-Flex 360 Insulated Pipe Supports eliminate insulate gaps and ensure proper insulation thickness at load-bearing hanger points. This helps to maintain total insulation system integrity.
