INSULATED PIPE SUPPORT FOR REFRIGERANT PIPEWORK
ArmaFix® FRV
ArmaFix FRV is an easy to install insulated pipe support for refrigeration and air-conditioning applications. Manufactured using a combination of ArmaFlex® FRV and load-bearing PUR insulation, ArmaFix FRV will help to prevent thermal bridging.
Competitive Advantages
- Reliable condensation control
- Intelligent lock for better installation
- Easy to install with self-adhesive tape
- High-strength polyurethane core
- Low thermal conductivity insulation
Thermal bridging explained
In refrigeration and air conditioning applications, pipe brackets represent a potential weak point in thermal insulation work. If the pipe is not thermally isolated from the clamp, thermal bridges occur and condensation can form. Poorly insulated fixings can lead to both increased energy loss and the risk of corrosion under insulation (CUI). To prevent thermal bridges, direct contact between the pipe and its bracket should be avoided.
ArmaFix is recommended for use where thermal bridging may occur. ArmaFix is used to support pipe insulation with pre-insulated hangers that prevent heat gain or loss from chilled-water, refrigeration and hot water systems. ArmaFix complements ArmaFlex, our flexible closed cell elastomeric thermal insulation material, on pipe insulation applications.
Installing ArmaFix FRV
Armacell. Global presence. Local focus.
ArmaFlex is Armacell's product heritage. The standard ArmaFlex product is manufactured across the Armacell world and customised to meet local requirements and often combined with other products into hybrid solutions. ArmaFlex FRV, for example, has been fire-tested for vertical pipe chases to NFPA 274, is free of fibre and formaldehyde and has a Type III Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
