AeroFit™ Mechanical Grooved

Description

Aeroflex® AeroFit™ Mechanical Grooved Insulating Fitting Covers are pre-fabricated EPDM insulation covers designed to fit grooved mechanical piping systems. Made from closed-cell elastomeric EPDM foam, these covers offer effective thermal insulation, moisture control, and ease of installation for HVAC, VRF, chilled water, and plumbing systems. Available in both black and white/gray, AeroFit™ covers provide reliable insulation for 45° and 90° elbows, tees, and p-traps with grooved connections.
