Customers are satisfied with the appearance of the insulation. They mention that it's very nice, not bad looking, and that it looks completely refreshed and new.

46 customers mention26 positive20 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the insulation. Some mention it's good quality and easy to work with, while others say it'll come apart after a week. The foam tore when they tried to push it into a tighter spot.

"...Has lasted several konths with no sign of deterioration." Read more

"Thin; questionable quality. Folded in thirds. Half of the adhesive protection film stuck to the foam. Better off heading over to ACE Hardware." Read more

27 customers mention9 positive18 negative

Customers are mixed about the adhesion of the insulation. Some mention that it sticks together well, is nice and sticky, and holds immediately, while others say that it didn't stay stuck, peeling adhesive only had 75% success, and that the foam was not self-adhesive.

"...IF you simply pull off the adhesive strips-- there will be zero adhesion as 'the sticky' adhesion is actually under the pull off strip and you must..." Read more

"...for too long, but I expected that, but great product, the adhesive does hold well enough so as to have time to zip tie, fits perfect, not loose...." Read more

"After a few days the adhesive started to come apart near the end, but most of it remains adhered...." Read more

"...Several times the glue started coming off with the clear protective tape...." Read more

25 customers mention15 positive10 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the heat resistance of the insulation. Some find it to be good and tough, protecting their pipes from freezing. However, others say it's not good for anything hot and is not suitable for outdoor ac pipe.

"...this on my go kart frame for protection and it also seems to stand up to uv rays good, cause it stored it outside before use." Read more

"It’s thin and porous definitely not meant for really hot or cold areas." Read more

"...my mind that my bed isn't exposed to the pipe and it also relieves some of the heat...." Read more

19 customers mention6 positive13 negative

"...I have to buy weatherproof tape to put around it. What a waste of money." Read more

12 customers mention7 positive5 negative

Customers are mixed about the fit of the insulation. Some mention it's a perfect fit, easy to put around pipe, trim to size, and seal. However, others say that it'll be too large for their Freon line and that it looks like an undersized black pool noodle with two-way tape on it.

"...over it like you would with your skinny jeans, very easy, and it fits like a glove...." Read more

"...It was too big for my Freon line, so I didn’t use the adhesive strip...." Read more

"...the adhesive does hold well enough so as to have time to zip tie, fits perfect, not loose. I.Dia...." Read more

"...This is basically an undersized black pool noodle with two-way tape on it. It weighs almost nothing...." Read more

Very sticky

Works great

Great for pipe/hose insulation projects.

I used the foam to insulate heating hoses in our electric vehicle to prevent heat loss. The adhesive is a must for projects like that, making sure the hose is not exposed at bends. Installation is easy, the biggest complication is dictated by pipe accessibility.

Works well

This worked perfectly for covering my outside pipes when the temperatures got cold.

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2023

Verified Purchase

Be sure to order one size larger for PVC as these are sized for copper pipes. These 1" tubes were perfect for the 3/4" PVC drain for AC in the attic. The glue strength when I installed them held well but with record heat in Texas, several 2" sections were failing so I put a strip of flexible AC tape over every seam on the entire line.

This was my second time insulating those pipes because I initially bought the wrong size. They wouldn't stay sealed even with zip ties every 2".
