Kingspan Kooltherm Phenolic Pipe Insulation 1m Long
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.
Kingspan Kooltherm Phenolic Pipe Insulation – 1m Long
Kingspan Kooltherm is a premium phenolic foam pipe insulation offering one of the lowest thermal conductivities available in pre-formed pipe sections. Its rigid closed-cell structure delivers outstanding thermal performance at thinner wall thicknesses than mineral wool or elastomeric foam alternatives — making it the specified choice for space-critical commercial and industrial HVAC installations, and for compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations.
Supplied in pre-slit 1m sections with a foil vapour barrier facing. Available in wall thicknesses from 15mm to 50mm for pipe sizes from 15mm to 329mm outside diameter.
Key Features & Benefits
- Ultra-Low Thermal Conductivity: Phenolic foam achieves significantly lower λ values than mineral wool or elastomeric foam, meeting Part L and CIBSE Guide C requirements at reduced wall thicknesses.
- Outstanding Fire Performance: European Reaction to Fire classification BL-s1,d0 (EN 13501-1) — very limited smoke production and no burning droplets. Unique carbonaceous char layer limits heat transfer and flame spread.
- Closed-Cell Structure: Resistant to moisture ingress and condensation, maintaining long-term thermal performance in humid plant room and building services environments.
- Foil Vapour Barrier Facing: Factory-applied foil facing provides an effective vapour barrier. Seal butt joints with Klasse Aluminium Foil Tape for a continuous, professional finish.
- Space-Saving: Achieves required insulation values at thinner wall thicknesses, ideal for congested plant rooms and risers where space is limited.
- Eco-Conscious: Manufactured without ozone-depleting CFCs or HCFCs, with low Global Warming Potential.
Applications
Widely specified for heating and hot water pipework, chilled water systems, and HVAC building services in commercial, healthcare, education, and industrial projects. Suitable for operating temperatures from -20°C to +110°C.
