Description
Self seal pipe lagging is a closed-cell elastomeric foam pipe insulation designed for HVAC, heating, refrigeration and plumbing systems. This professional pipe insulation lagging reduces heat loss, prevents condensation and improves energy efficiency on hot and cold pipework. Supplied pre-slit with an integrated adhesive strip, it allows fast installation without separate glue..
Commonly used across plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, heating and chilled water systems, this insulation improves system efficiency, prevents moisture damage and helps extend the lifespan of pipework and surrounding materials.
