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.
