ArmaFlex ECO550 Activator for ArmaFlex ECO550 & Ultima ECO550 Adhesive
How to measure?
Pipe insulation sizes refer to the outside diameter of the pipe — not the bore (internal diameter).
|←— OD —→|Wrap a tape measure around the pipe, divide by π (3.14) to get the OD. Or use calipers across the outside of the pipe directly.
