Gulf-O-Flex Flexible Elastomeric Rubber Insulation Tube – 1/4″ (6mm) ID x 3/8″ (9mm) Wall x 6ft (1.8m)


Gulf-O-Flex® by Rubber World Industry (RWI) is a premium, closed-cell elastomeric thermal insulation designed specifically for the protection of copper piping in HVAC and refrigeration systems. This 6ft tube features a “shark skin” tough outer surface that resists tearing and environmental degradation. It is engineered to prevent condensation (sweating) on refrigerant lines and minimize heat loss or gain, ensuring peak system efficiency in high-humidity regions.

  • Condensation Control: Effectively retards heat gain and prevents frost formation on chilled water and refrigerant lines.

  • Closed-Cell Structure: Provides an inherent vapor barrier, eliminating the need for additional wraps in most indoor applications.

  • Mold & Mildew Resistant: Non-porous material naturally resists fungal growth, critical for maintaining air quality in Nigerian residential and commercial buildings.

  • UV & Weather Resistant: Durable elastomeric blend suitable for moderate outdoor exposure; can be coated for severe rooftop conditions.

  • Fire Safety: Self-extinguishing material with a Class 0 and Class 1 fire rating (BS 476 Parts 6 & 7).

Applications:

  • Split AC Unit copper pipe insulation.

  • Chilled water plumbing and solar heating systems.

  • Industrial and commercial refrigeration piping.

  • Acoustic insulation for vibration dampening in pipework.

Logistics & Shipping

  • Weight: Very lightweight (Approx. 0.15 kg per tube).

  • Form: Unslit tube (flexible, can be slid over pipes during installation).

  • Packaging Dimension: 1.83m length; typical shipping cartons contain 170–180 pieces for this specific size.

  • Shipping Method: Ships as lightweight freight. Store in a dry area; do not crush to maintain the closed-cell integrity.

Market Insight: In the Nigerian HVAC market, Gulf-O-Flex is highly respected for its “UAE Quality.” Using 3/8″ wall thickness (instead of thinner 1/4″ walls) is superior for preventing “sweating” and ceiling water damage in the high-humidity environments of Lagos and Port Harcourt.

Installation Tip: For best results, we recommend our customers use Gulf-O-Flex Glue for sealing both joints and seams to ensure a continuous vapor seal, especially in chilled water applications
