Product Highlights
Description
NOTE: For more detailed product information, see the "Submittal Sheet" document.
Overview:
K-FLEX® INSUL-LOCK® DS (DoubleSeal) is a flexible closed-cell elastomeric insulation tube product used to conserve energy and prevent condensation on piping applications. It is pre-slit with a factory-applied pressure sensitive modified-acrylic adhesive with scrim reinforcement on the seam surface and a flexible PVC overlap tape with acrylic adhesive for doubled seam security. The system reduces installation time and costs, and ensures a strong, durable seal.
The product's closed-cell structure creates exceptional thermal properties (k-value of 0.245 at 75°F and wvt of 0.03 perm-in) that protect against moisture penetration in applications within a -40°F to +220°F temperature range.
K-FLEX® INSUL-LOCK® DS is widely used for its cold weather flexibility, durable skin surface, exacting manufacturing tolerances and lasting performance. It is available in 6’ lengths in wall thicknesses ranging from 3/8”* to 2”.
K-FLEX® INSUL-LOCK® DS is non-porous, non-fibrous and resists mold, fungal and bacterial growth. For added protection, it is protected with an EPA-approved antimicrobial agent.
K-FLEX® INSUL-LOCK® DS is GREENGUARD® certified under the Children and Schools classification, is approved through supervision by the Factory Mutual Research Corporation, and is 25/50-rated when tested to ASTM E 84 standards.

Good product
Easy Install / Good Quality Insulation
Product was OK but packaging was horrible
Supple product, dynamic adhesives!
Flexible, Strong Adhive, but didn't have the flap shown
I guess I should have read the description more closely.
Product Q&A
12 QuestionsQ: Is this product uv rated? I am looking for insulation for suction line on a/c condenser.
Asked by Bucko 10 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffAccording to K-Flex, For moderate UV exposure, no additional protective coating needed. However, for severe UV exposure (rooftop applications) or where optimum performance is required, 374 Protective Coating or approved jacketing or cladding should be used.
Q: Says 1/2 pipe O.D. in title, but the Application: say 3/8" Pipe. So is this for 3/8 or 1/2 copper pipe?
Asked by M 11 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffSo this insulation is for use on pipe that has 1/2" OD (or 3/8" nominal ID) sizing. So that is why both sizes are listed, to clarify which type of pipe it would be compatible with.
Q: Can this be used where the tubing inside is metal braided because we have to radius this tube around a tank that is 11' in diameter?

Q: Could the pipe insulation be painted
Asked by Dublin38 12 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffNo, the manufacturer does not approve painting the pipe insulation. Doing so will void the warranty.
Q: I have a 1 1/2 sump pump line that extends 18 inches past the exterior wall. I live in Wisconsin and was wondering if this will help the 18 inch of pipe sticking out the exterior wall from freezing. The water from the sump pump is then piped underground to a drainage ditch. The underground pipe never seems to freeze, but that 18 inches of pipe seems to. Can you help??
Asked by HD 12 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffYes, adding insulation to the exposed 18" of pipe will help reduce the risk of freezing. This product has moderate UV resistance and can be used in outdoor applications (except roofs).
Q: I read and my supplier says that the pre-glue strip foam pipe insulation cannot be used on PEX. What makes some insulation PEX ready and some not? What makes the Insul-Lock PEX compatible?
Asked by James 13 years ago
Add your answer
There's no thermal reason that it won't work, and the diameters are about the same, but there's no effective way to install/hang/support it and have it look decent. As well, PEX expands and contracts which, depending on how the insulation is installed and supported, may cause the glue seals the separate over time. If allowance were made for expansion, the foam insul could be used on stick (non-flexible)PEX, but that's typically only 1-inch and larger pipe.
Q: Hi, will this product fit 1 1/4" cast iron pipes? thanks
Asked by travis 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffIt will fit any pipe with a 1-3/8" outside diameter.
Travis, I'm assuming you mean 1-1/4 "black iron" pipe instead of "cast iron". In which case a 1-1/4" black iron pipe has an outside diameter of 1.66", therefore, this choice of insulation will not work.

Q: I am puting in a hot watter circulaing reiculating system for my new tankless system using 3/4 pex . I want to insulate the hot water piping . all is installed in basemnt .Don't want to loose heat in circulting lines.What schould I use for pipe insulation?
Asked by Gary 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThis is the proper insulation for 3/4" PEX that we carry. We also sell pre-insulated AquaPEX tubing from Uponor.
First, remember pex needs to be supported. Plan the support system while planning the insulation of the line. Doubling the R-value does not mean you cut the heat loss in half. However added insulation will always reduce the loss. The key is that there is a point of diminishing returns. If you can afford it and want to reduce as much heat loss as possible - double up on the insulation. The key is that corners, bends, connectors should also be insulated and sealed. I my recirc lines I can feel and measure some heat loss through the insulation even though I used a ½ wall insulation. I will probably go back and add a second thicker (cheaper) layer of pipe insulation on top of what I had previously done. You need to meet the minimal codes in your area. After that it comes down to how much you are willing to spend and if you are expecting a fast or slow return on your investment.
Q: I have pex tubing in my attic that sometimes freezes in the winter. Can this be used to insulate pex?
Asked by buddha 15 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThis insulation can be used with PEX. PEX has the same outside diameter as copper and CPVC. Outside diameter will always be 1/8" larger than the listed size of the tubing.
