Aerofix®

Description

Aeroflex® Aerofix™ Insulated Pipe Supports are high-performance, closed-cell EPDM foam insulation supports designed to prevent thermal bridging and corrosion under insulation (CUI) in HVAC, VRF, refrigeration, and chilled water systems. These supports feature a high-density core with a zero-perm hermetic seal, offering exceptional thermal efficiency and structural integrity at pipe hanger and clamp locations. Aerofix™ supports come ready for installation with standard pipe hangers, saving time and labor on the job site.
