The K-Flex 7PXL048358 is a closed-cell, flexible elastomeric foam pipe insulation with a 3-5/8" nominal outer diameter and 1/2" wall thickness. Designed for thermal efficiency and moisture resistance, it features a pre-slit and factory-applied pressure-sensitive adhesive, enabling quick, tool-assisted installation without the need for external adhesives.
Product Features
Pre-Slit with Pre-Glued Closure – Simplifies field application and ensures a uniform seal along the pipe run.
Closed-Cell Structure – Provides low thermal conductivity and effective moisture vapor resistance without additional vapor barriers.
Flexible Foam Composition – Accommodates bends and directional changes while maintaining insulation integrity.
Consistent Wall Thickness – 1/2" wall offers balance between thermal performance and space efficiency.
Made in the USA – Manufactured to meet U.S. performance and quality standards.

Installation Guidance
This product is intended for professional-grade use in mechanical and plumbing systems. Prior to installation, ensure pipe surfaces are clean and dry. Apply insulation by aligning the slit over the pipe, pressing firmly to activate the pre-applied adhesive. Use a utility knife for trimming as needed. For exterior applications or code-specific requirements, consult project specifications regarding jacketing or additional sealing.
Applications
Recommended for insulating hot and cold water lines, chilled water piping, and refrigeration lines in commercial, industrial, or residential buildings. Effective in reducing energy loss, condensation formation, and temperature fluctuations in mechanical systems.
