Known as the E-Flex Guard, this 6-foot section fits over 3\/4-inch wall thickness insulation covering 5\/8-inch or 7\/8-inch refrigerant tubing, and also accommodates 1\/2-inch wall thickness insulation on 1-1\/8-inch tubing. The engineered PVC construction meets Class II vapor retarder requirements and satisfies current building, residential, and energy code mandates that restrict or prohibit adhesive tape on outdoor pipe insulation. HVAC technicians use this product to bring line set installations into code compliance on split-system and mini-split applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AIX-72C-B is intended for outdoor refrigeration piping on residential and light commercial split-system air conditioning and heat pump installations. It addresses mandatory requirements found in updated building and energy codes that no longer permit adhesive tapes as the sole exterior protection method for outdoor pipe insulation. The 6-foot length suits standard line set runs and can be combined with additional sections for longer installations. Installation is straightforward on new construction or retrofit projects where exposed line sets require compliant insulation protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEngineered PVC construction is UV and weather resistant for long-term outdoor durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated as a Class II vapor retarder to satisfy current energy code requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits 3\/4-inch wall insulation over 5\/8-inch and 7\/8-inch refrigerant tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlso accommodates 1\/2-inch wall insulation over 1-1\/8-inch tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-foot length per section for flexible line set coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack color provides a clean finished appearance on outdoor installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to fit over 3\/4-inch wall thickness pipe insulation protecting 5\/8-inch or 7\/8-inch refrigerant tubing, and over 1\/2-inch wall thickness pipe insulation protecting 1-1\/8-inch tubing.

Shut down the system and relieve any pressure from accessible service ports before working on the line set. Verify local building and energy code requirements for insulation protection prior to installation, as specific mandates vary by jurisdiction. Do not use adhesive tape as the primary exterior insulation protection in jurisdictions that have adopted current energy codes restricting that practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Insulation Wall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch (with 5\/8-inch and 7\/8-inch tubing); 1\/2 inch (with 1-1\/8-inch tubing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Tubing Sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch, 7\/8 inch, 1-1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Engineered PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVapor Retarder Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Class II\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Outdoor refrigeration piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: AIREX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: AIX-72C-B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AIREX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345381065010,"sku":"AIX-72C-B","price":48.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553485.jpg?v=1782056491","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/airex-aix-72c-b-e-flex-guard-line-set-cover-black-6-ft","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
