K Flex

Research has shown that uninsulated pipe fittings are still a common thermal bridge on insulated pipe systems. Their effect is often underestimated. A finite element method analysis (FEM) on an insulated pipe section has shown that approximately 50% of the heat loss for the entire considered section is due to the lack of use of pipe supports. It is so easy to avoid thermal bridges. Specifically designed to ensure a correct insulation thickness where joints are made. The PIR central section, which covers the whole circumference and is attached to two K-FLEX insulating material sections, ensures a perfect continuity of the vapour barrier. Longitudinal sealing is obtained by means of the self-adhesive overlap. The external cover is in PVC. The support is also available with a collar and a special metal support which, when fixed to the supporting framework, ensures greater overall installation stability.
