Overview:

Elastomeric polymer preformed tubular insulation and pre-insulated copper pipes for solar hot water systems. Suitable for use in interior and exterior use in domestic and commercial applications.

Product Description:

Armaflex Solar and DuoSolar provide insulation for the pipes of solar hot water systems. The continuous nature of the products make the insulation more efficient and reduces time during installation; it also ensures higher quality assurance outcomes. Products have low thermal-conductivity to minimise heat loss.

DuoSolar is paired tubes of insulation that are pre-fitted to copper pipes. Feed and return pipes in DuoSolar system connects solar collectors with hot-water storage tank. DuoSolar includes sensor wire to monitor temperature of water inside pipes to maintain a constant temperature of hot water at the source.

Solar is single coils of insulation that are fitted to copper during installation. Solar insulates flow and return lines of solar hot-water systems and is designed for systems that use hard-drawn copper. Solar has good abrasion-resistance.
