About Selecting Thermal Insulation

Insulated High-Temperature Soft
Rubber Tubing for Air and Water

The lightweight, spongy walls provide thermal insulation, so the tubing won’t produce condensation when cold air or fluid runs through it.

High-Temperature Soft Rubber
Tubing for Food and Beverage

Hot food and beverage applications won’t harm this tubing—it can handle temperatures up to 390° F.

Insulated Duct Hose for Indoor Air

Insulated with a layer of fiberglass, this ultra-thin lightweight hose keeps air at a constant temperature.

Insulated Blo-N-Vent Duct Hose with Wear Strip for Air

A layer of fiberglass insulation helps maintain the temperature inside the hose. Use for heating and cooling applications in outdoor environments.

Thermal Insulation

Flexible Rubber Foam Pipe Insulation

Soft and easy to install, this insulation restricts absorption of water, air, and gas. It is often used on cold and hot water lines and refrigeration lines.

Tear-Resistant Silicone Foam Pipe Insulation

Even at high temperatures, these tubes remain flexible to stretch over components without tearing. They restrict absorption of water, air, and gas and are typically used on hot and cold water lines and electrical components.

Quick-Install Fiberglass Pipe Insulation

Hook-and-loop fasteners make it easy to install, remove, and reuse this flexible insulation. Use on steam, hot water, and process pipes and fittings.

Economical Flexible Polyethylene Foam Pipe Insulation

Less flexible than rubber foam, this insulation restricts absorption of water, air, and gas. It is typically used in plumbing applications

ADA-Compliant Hot Water Pipe Cover Kits

These kits insulate one P-trap and two stop valves to reduce the risk of burns from accidental contact with hot pipes under your sink. The molded, flexible pipe covers are ADA compliant when properly installed.

ADA-Compliant Hot Water Pipe Covers

Reduce the risk of burns from accidental contact with hot pipes under your sink. These molded, flexible pipe covers are ADA compliant when properly installed.

Mineral Wool Pipe Insulation

Rigid and flame resistant, these insulation tubes are typically used in process piping and mechanical systems.

Clean Room Melamine Foam Pipe Insulation

These rigid, lightweight melamine foam tubes are wrapped in an ISO Class 5 and Fed. Spec. Class 100 clean room jacket that is suitable for sanitary and washdown applications. They’re typically used on cold and hot water piping and with refrigeration systems.

Lightweight Melamine Foam Pipe Insulation

Melamine has a lightweight construction that allows quick and easy installation. Use on cold and hot water piping and with refrigeration systems.

Fiberglass Pipe Insulation

This common insulation material is typically used on hot and cold water lines and in process piping.

Chemical-Resistant Cellular Glass Pipe Insulation

Very rigid with a 0% water absorption rate, this insulation is unaffected by corrosive environments, organic solvents, and most acids. It is typically used in chemical-processing systems and underground lines.

Ultra-Insulating Low-Temperature
Polyisocyanurate Foam Pipe Insulation

This very rigid insulation offers the lowest heat-flow rate of our pipe insulation and restricts absorption of water, air, and gas. It is typically used in process piping and chiller plants and performs best in applications below 50° F.

Pipe Condensation-Reducing Rubber Strips

Wrap pipes, tubing, and fittings to prevent condensation from forming. These strips are for use on copper, iron, and steel.

Pipe Insulation Repair Strips

Protect and repair insulation with this cotton fiber and resin mesh.

Pipe Condensation-Reducing Coatings

Prevent condensation from forming on refrigeration and air conditioning lines and cold‐water piping.

Plastic Pipe Insulation Jacketing

Protect insulation from light impact and moisture with this durable PVC jacketing.

Pipe Insulation Banding

Save installation time with banding that’s ready to use. It has an easy-to-close fastener on one end.

Metal Pipe Insulation Jacketing

Guard insulation from heavy impact and chemical exposure. This metal jacketing is corrosion resistant and often used outdoors.

Pipe Insulation Coatings

An alternative to jacketing, these coatings create a vapor barrier and protect from conditions outdoors. They are often used on irregularly shaped surfaces, such as fittings, flanges, and valves.

Firebrick Bonding Mortar

Lay, coat, and bond firebricks. Apply this mortar with a trowel.

Firebrick Repair Coatings

Renew heat resistance and performance of worn firebrick. Apply coating with a brush or spray on for a crack-free seal.

Extreme-Temperature Cement

Set and repair cast iron and steel furnaces, heaters, stoves, and boilers with this ready-to-use cement. It experiences minimal shrinkage for a permanent smokeproof and gasproof joint. Apply with a trowel or a spatula.

Heat Barrier Putty

Form this reusable putty around metal pipes and tubing or spread on a flat metal surface to stop heat from traveling to adjoining surfaces when soldering, welding, and brazing.

Heat Barrier Gel

Spray on this clear gel to protect components and surfaces from heat damage and discoloration caused by soldering, welding, and brazing. It is nonstaining and won't leave a residue.

Tube Sleeving

Extra-Thick Spark-Resistant Tube Sleeving

Made from thicker and denser fiberglass than standard spark-resistant sleeving, this sleeving is more abrasion resistant and provides better insulation. The silicone rubber coating protects against sparks and molten metal splash.

Spark-Resistant Tube Sleeving

A silicone rubber coating on this fiberglass sleeving protects against sparks and molten metal splash.

High-Temperature Electrical-Insulating Tube Sleeving

This sleeving withstands temperatures up to 390°F and is often used to insulate connections in transformers and relays. It prevents electricity and heat from dissipating from wire and cable.

Electrical-Insulating Tube Sleeving

Add a layer of insulation to prevent electricity and heat from dissipating from wire and cable.

Expandable Electrical-Insulating Tube Sleeving

A specially formulated silicone rubber coating allows this sleeving to stretch over items during installation; it then tightens around its contents for a secure fit.

High-Temperature Tube Sleeving

Use this PTFE sleeving in applications where temperatures reach up to 500° F.

Chemical-Resistant Tube Sleeving

Made of PVC, this sleeving resists chemicals, oil, and acids.
