Working to Part L?

There is no single pipe-insulation thickness that applies to every job. The correct route depends on the application, pipe dimensions, insulation performance, project location and the standard or specification being followed.

Pipe Size OD vs nominal bore
Insulation Thickness Required wall thickness
Thermal Conductivity Lambda / λ value
Service & Location Heating, DHW, chilled, region
Important: do not assume a 15mm, 22mm or 28mm copper pipe can simply be matched to a regulatory table without checking how the pipe size and insulation specification are defined.

Common Trade Questions

Pipe Insulation FAQs for Plumbers

Quick answers to common questions about ordering, product selection, delivery and pipe-insulation specifications.

Do I need a trade account to order pipe insulation?
No. Standard products can be ordered directly online without opening a formal trade or credit account. Trade purchasing is available for businesses that require quantity pricing, repeat-order support or approved credit facilities.
Can I place a small trade order?
Yes. Small and one-off trade orders are welcome. You can order individual products online or contact the team when the requirement becomes larger or contains several different products.
Which type of pipe insulation should I use for heating pipework?
The correct material depends on factors including pipe size, service temperature, required thermal performance, location, fire requirements and the project specification. Phenolic and mineral-wool products are common routes for heating applications, but the specification should always be checked before ordering.
How do I know what insulation thickness I need?
Thickness depends on more than pipe size. The required standard, insulation thermal conductivity, service, building type and project location can all affect the answer. See our Part L Pipe Insulation Guide for Plumbers .
Will pipe insulation stop an external pipe freezing?
Insulation reduces the rate of heat transfer but does not generate heat. Pipework at significant frost risk may require a correctly designed trace-heating system in addition to insulation and suitable external weather protection.
Can I get next-day delivery?
Next-day delivery is available on selected qualifying in-stock products ordered before the applicable cut-off. If timing is critical, confirm stock and the delivery option with our team before ordering.
Do you deliver pipe insulation throughout the UK?
Insulation & More provides UK mainland delivery. Delivery service, timescale and cost depend on the products, quantity, dimensions and destination.
