Klo-Shure® Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is a Klo-Shure® Insulation Coupling?

A. The patented Klo-Shure® Insulation Coupling is a high strength plastic coupling with a unique internal design that supports and retains copper tubing and secures insulation at clevis hangers and strut-mounted clamps.

Q. What are the major user benefits?

A. Faster installation. Lower labor costs. Lower material costs. Superior vapor barrier. Improved appearance. No messy adhesives. No taping. No bulges of insulation. Easy to remove and install.

Q. Who installs the Klo-Shure® Couplings?

A. Klo-Shure® Couplings can be installed by pipe fitters to support copper lines during installation, or by the insulation contractor.

Q. How long does it take to install Coupling?

A. Our tests show that it takes approximately one minute to install a Klo-Shure® Coupling and secure insulation. Compared to double wrapping, cutting, trimming, gluing, and taping insulation around suspension devices, your overall time will be greatly reduced.

Q. What tools are required?

A. The only tool needed is a knife to slit pre-scored coupling for placement around tubing. Slitting is eliminated by installing coupling as tubing is run.

Q. Where are Klo-Shure® Couplings used?

A. Klo-Shure® Couplings are used for applications that require insulation for copper tubing in refrigerant lines, hot and cold water plumbing, and chilled water systems.
