Flex rubber insulation is a tough, flexible rubber material. It has good insulating qualities, good cementing qualities, excellent weather-aging qualities, and prevents sweating of cold-water lines. It is also water and fire resistant. Flexible rubber insulation is well suited for covering tubing used in refrigeration and cold-water lines. It comes in a variety of lengths with a wall thickness of 3/8 to 3/4 inch and fits pipe up to 4 inches in diameter. 1, record 4, English, - flexible%20rubber%20insulation
