Insulation of pipework
Climpipe Section Alu2

Designed to provide thermal and acoustic insulation of pipework, it
helps to meet thermal building regulations and offer energy savings. The
consistent density and concentric positioning of the bore of Climpipe
sections provide consistent thermal performance along the length of
the pipe. Isover offers a range of pipe sections in a variety of thicknesses
(20-60mm) and diameters from 15 to 273mm to accommodate a range
of pipe diameters.
Climpipe Sections are strong, lightweight pre-formed ‘snap on’ sections

with a reinforced aluminium foil facing and a self-adhesive overlap
to help ensure a strong vapour barrier. Manufactured in 1.2m lengths,
these sections offer the opportunity for fewer joints than traditional 1m
products, helping to reduce thermal bridging.
Characteristic Description
Fire performance • Euroclass A2L-s1, d0 fire rating when classified with EN 13501-1
• Class O compliance as defined in Building Regulations.
• Compliant with London Underground fire safety performance requirements.
Service temperature Suitable for continuous service temperatures from 5°C to 500°C. The temperature on
the aluminium facing should not exceed 80°C. When using the product below ambient
conditions, care must be taken to ensure a 100% vapour barrier is maintained.
Corrosiveness Fulfils the demands in ASTM C795-08 (Standard Specification for Thermal Insulation for
Use in Contact with Austenitic Stainless Steel) section 13

Insulation thicknesses
The thicknesses shown in the following tables are calculated at the maximum thermal
conductivities of the material as required in the above British Standards. These thermal
conductivity figures must not be exceeded by unapproved substitute materials. In such
a case, the following thicknesses could be invalid and the installation may not comply
with the legal requirements of the Building Regulations.
