K-Flex Titan is a closed-cell, flexible, elastomeric foam insulation with a flexible co-extruded jacketing. It can be applied to either K-FLEX® NBR/PVC or EPDM (TITAN HT) tubular insulation. It is a polymeric jacketed material that offers excellent flexibility, abrasion and weather resistance, making it ideal for outdoor applications. The product is made in K-FLEX USA’s ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facility, in North Carolina.
excellent protection from mechanical abuse, including incidental impact from lawn equipment such as weed wackers (plastic string type)
1. Flexible elastomeric foam insulation with low thermal conductivity and high resistance to moisture vapor intrusion.
2. Durable polymeric jacket resistant to UV and equipment maintenance. Plus, it has a 5-year warranty.
3. Code Compliant: Meets the outdoor exposure requirements of the 2012 / 2015 IECC Residential & Commercial Codes. Plus, it’s ASTM E84 25/50 rated.
4. 1-Step Install: No field-applied protective coating or jacketing required.
K-FLEX TITAN can be used for outdoor applications with service temperatures ranging from -70 °F to +300 °F. The applications would be consistent with those recommended for K-FLEX Insul-Tube or K-FLEX HT tubing. The product is used to enhance the weather and abuse resistance of the insulation tubing. K-FLEX TITAN is ideal for use on HVAC linesets and flex hose applications. K-FLEX TITAN HT (EPDM) is ideal for use on heat pumps and solar hot water heating
where higher service temperatures are expected (300 °F).
K-FLEX TITAN is durable (nonfracturing) and the skin is resistant to tearing from handling and the environment, safe to handle (nondusting
and non-abrasive), and lightweight for an efficient installation. It is very flexible and easily conforms to bends. Its low modulus allows it to be pushed back for
easy installation of fittings. K-FLEX recommends that insulation is installed on non-operational systems with clean, dry surfaces in ambient conditions between 40 °F and 100 °F. Properly sized insulation tubing can be slid over piping (tubing should be pushed, not pulled). All seams, butt joints, termination points and open ends should be sealed with an approved contact adhesive, making sure both surfaces to be joined are coated.
Vapor stops should be installed as needed. K-FLEX TITAN may be slit longitudinally for retrofit applications. ASTM C1710, Installation Guide for Flexible Closed
The expanded closed-cell structure and unique formulation inherently resists moisture vapor intrusion. K-FLEX TITAN needs no additional protection
FAQs
What is K-Flex Titan made of?
Insul-Tube (NBR/PVC elastomeric) insulation with a patent-pending, factory-applied, flexible and durable polymeric jacketing.
What format is K-Flex Titan available in?
Available in 6’ lengths (non-slit or pre-slit), small coils (50’-100’), or as a pre-insulated copper line set (line sets available from Mueller Industries or Linesets Inc.). The size offering is ¼” to 2-1/8” ID x ½” to 1-1/2” wall.
How is K-Flex Titan installed?
Properly sized insulation tubing can be slid over piping (tubing should be pushed, not pulled). All seams, butt joints, termination points and open ends should be sealed with 320 or 620 contact adhesive, making sure both surfaces to be joined are coated. Vapor stops should be installed as needed. K-Flex Titan may be slit longitudinally for retrofit applications. On straight runs, seams should be facing down to reduce weight/pressure on the seam. For additional protection on the longitudinal seam, apply Titan Tape over entire length of the seam.
Can K-Flex Titan be painted?
Yes, a one component acrylic rubber paint formulated for use on rubber roofing membranes is an acceptable coating for K-Flex Titan. Products such as Heng’s Rubber Roof Coating manufactured by Heng’s Industries or similar can be used. Similar products may be found at roofing specialty distributors or at RV service and parts stores. K-Flex Titan must be clean and dry prior to application. Apply 2 coats of paint by brush or roller. Dry to touch in 4 hours, cures in 8 hours depending upon conditions. Paint is white, but can be tinted. Contact the manufacturer for acceptable tinting methods. Paints and coatings require periodic maintenance, and life expectancy will vary based on exposure conditions.
Is K-Flex Titan suitable for use on VRF Systems?
Yes, the product has a continuous temperature resistance to 220°F and can withstand spikes up to 250°F (qualified by ASTM C411 testing) meeting the requirements of VRF system specifications. The suitability is further proven by more than 50 million linear feet installed on VRF systems over the past 3 years.
Does K-Flex Titan meet current IECC codes?
Yes, K-Flex meets all requirements of the 2012, 2015, 2018 and 2021 IECC code for residential and commercial facilities. The product also meets the requirements of the current California Title 24 energy code.
