Value Collection RUPC01605TSA Pipe Insulation 1.25 in 6 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION RUPC01605TSA is a flexible polyethylene pipe insulation tube rated for temperatures from -160 to 200 degrees F. It features a 0.5-inch wall thickness and is sized to fit 1.25-inch pipe, supplied in 6-foot lengths. Polyethylene construction provides thermal protection and condensation control on cold and hot piping systems. The material is flexible enough to conform to straight runs and mild bends without cracking or splitting. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of insulation on domestic water, chilled water, and refrigeration piping in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This pipe insulation is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where energy conservation codes require pipe insulation on supply and return lines. It is commonly applied to copper or plastic cold and hot water lines routed through unconditioned spaces such as crawl spaces, attics, and mechanical rooms. The material meets ASHRAE 90.1 and California Title 24 energy code requirements, making it appropriate for projects subject to those standards. Each piece ships as a single 6-foot section.

Installation Notes

Pipe insulation of this type is installed by licensed plumbers or mechanical contractors working under applicable plumbing and mechanical codes. Power down or isolate any active system and allow piping to reach ambient temperature before applying insulation to hot lines. Slit the tube lengthwise if required for retrofit installation over existing pipe, then seal seams with compatible adhesive or tape per the insulation manufacturer guidance. Do not compress the wall thickness during fastening, as this reduces thermal performance.
