Airex AIX-72C-W E-flex Guard Line Set Cover White 6 Ft

Product Description

The AIREX AIX-72C-W is a 6-foot section of E-Flex Guard line set cover designed to protect outdoor refrigeration pipe insulation from UV exposure and weather degradation. Constructed from engineered PVC, this cover acts as a Class II vapor retarder and is rated for UV and weather resistance. It installs over existing insulated refrigerant lines and is specifically engineered to meet mandatory building, residential, and energy code requirements that restrict or prohibit the use of adhesive tapes for outdoor insulation protection. Licensed HVAC technicians install this product on split-system refrigerant line sets routed along exterior walls or exposed outdoor runs.

The AIX-72C-W fits over 3/4-inch wall thickness pipe insulation covering 5/8-inch or 7/8-inch refrigerant tubing. It also accommodates 1/2-inch wall thickness pipe insulation covering 1-1/8-inch tubing. This makes it suitable for a range of residential and light commercial split-system air conditioning and heat pump installations where refrigerant lines are exposed to outdoor conditions and must comply with current energy and building codes.
