Home improvement aid that helps keep small-diameter pipes insulated while protecting handles and roof racks, the M METERXITY Pipe Insulation Foam Tube is a simple solution for common HVAC and DIY tasks. Peace of mind comes from moisture resistance and a fire-retardant formulation for outdoor and indoor use. Is a single 1.8m tube the right fit for your repair or upgrade?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Insulation Performance: Closed-cell foam structure traps air to slow heat transfer and reduce surface condensation
- • Best for: DIY home maintenance and light HVAC work on small-diameter pipes and exposed handles
- • Not ideal for: Large industrial mains or situations that require thicker, multi-layer lagging
Closed-cell rubber-plastic foam supplied in a single 1.8m length, 25mm internal diameter and 9mm wall thickness. Flexible tubing resists water absorption and contains flame-retardant additives for safer use around HVAC equipment.
Reduce heat loss and stop condensation – thanks to closed-cell foam
Closed-cell rubber and plastic trap microscopic air pockets, lowering thermal conductivity and limiting moisture ingress. The non-absorbent structure prevents water uptake that would otherwise undermine insulating performance.
Lowered heat transfer helps chilled and hot water lines stay closer to intended temperatures and reduces drip-related damage. Surface condensation becomes less likely, cutting maintenance and corrosion risk.
Weather and moisture resistance – with waterproof, vapour-reducing material
A closed bubble construction combined with vapour-reduction raw materials stops liquid water and reduces vapour movement through the tube. The formulation includes flame-retardant additives to improve safety near equipment.
Suitable for exposed outdoor AC pipe runs and indoor condensate lines where damp conditions are a concern. Safer handling near heat sources due to reduced flammability.
Quick-fitting and versatile protection – thanks to flexible, easy-to-cut tubing
Soft, bendable foam conforms to curved runs and awkward fittings, while the tube cuts cleanly with a utility knife. A light lubricant on the pipe makes sliding the tube on faster during installation.
Rapid DIY installation on curved pipes, roof racks, guitar stands or exercise machine handles without custom tooling. Sections can be trimmed to length for neat, bespoke coverage.
