KingWrap provides a fast, easy method of insulating pipes and fittings. It is designed to control condensation drip on domestic cold-water, chilled-water, and other cold piping bonded with metal surfaces.
It actively reduces heat loss when applied to hot-water lines operating up to 180°F (82°C). For comprehensive thermal control, KingWrap can be used in conjunction with compatible pipe and sheet insulation.
Its greatest operational advantage is the ease with which it insulates short lengths of pipe and fittings located in congested or hard-to-reach areas.

KingWrap is designed to insulate pipes and fittings. It prevents condensation and dripping on domestic cold-water, chilled-water, and other cold piping, and reduces heat loss on hot-water lines operating up to 180°F (82°C).
KingWrap is applied by peeling away the release backing paper and wrapping the tape spirally around the metal surfaces. It is recommended to use a spiral wrap that ensures a 50% overlap, adding layers to reach the desired thickness.
For cold piping, apply enough wraps to keep the outer insulation surface temperature above the ambient dew point to control sweating. For hot lines, wrap density depends on the desired level of heat loss control. On dual-temperature lines, wraps sufficient to control cold-cycle sweating are typically adequate for the heating cycle.
Yes. For valves, tees, and fittings, cut small pieces of the tape to fit and press them firmly onto the metal, ensuring no bare surfaces are exposed. Then, over-wrap the area with longer lengths of tape to secure the application.
Yes, KingWrap can be used effectively on its own or in conjunction with compatible pipe and sheet insulation systems, especially in tight, congested, or hard-to-reach areas.
No. Because end-use conditions vary and cannot be controlled, the published technical data serves as a guide. Users should perform independent testing to confirm safety, suitability, and fitness for their specific applications.
