Class 0 Self Seal

The Armaflex range is the most recognised brand of
elastomeric pipe insulation, known throughout the
World. Manufactured in the UK the high quality tubes
and sheets have ODP and GWP ratings of zero and are
dust and fibre free. The Armaflex Self Seal range is
especially convenient for the insulation of domestic
central heating and cold water pipes.

Typical system applications

ARMAFLEX SELF sEAL Product RANGE
AF/Armaflex Class O Self Seal 2m length tubes
To supply the home with heating and hot and cold are available in 9, 13, 19 and 25 mm wall thick-
water, pipes run through floors, walls, ceilings and nesses up to 89mm pipe diameter sizes
loft spaces. These pipes can lose up to 80% of their
heat en-route and transmit annoying operating noises
into the building, problems which can be mitigated by
installing Armaflex.

Pipe insulation reduces these energy losses whilst

also dampening the transmission of nuisance noise
from pipework and preventing condensation on cold
water pipes.

Your benefit:
AF/ARMAFLEX CLASS O SELF SEAL: Speed up your installation and save up to 30% on labour costs

AF/Armaflex Class O Self Seal is a nitrile rubber pipe insulation product fully slit along each length with two strips of double

sided self adhesive tape pre-applied to each open slit surface. Specially developed to provide insulation where fast, secure

installation is required and ideal for applications where working space is restricted, AF/Armaflex Class O Self Seal is easily

applied by fitting the insulation and peeling back the self adhesive tape. Fast and secure gluing of seams over the entire

length of an installation is ensured, giving a professional finish and aesthetic appearance to the entire installation.
