1" Pipe Insulation Foam Tubing — 6ft Nitrile Rubber Sleeve
Product description
Product contents: one hollow foam pipe insulation tube, single piece measuring approximately 180 cm (70.8") in total length.
Materials and ratings: constructed from B1-grade nitrile rubber with rubber-and-plastic components. The material is flame-retardant and self-extinguishing, formulated to be non-irritating and non-toxic. It offers waterproof and moisture-resistant properties and is designed for thermal performance in the stated operating range (-20 to 100; manufacturer lists -20°F to 176°F).
Dimensions and weight: inner diameter roughly 25 mm (0.98"), wall thickness about 9 mm (0.35"), overall length ~180 cm (6 ft). Unit weight is about 104 g. The product is black in color.
Intended use: suitable for industrial piping, air-conditioning lines, HVAC pipe sleeves, and high-temperature resistant rubber hose applications. Also commonly repurposed as cushioning for guitar stands, ladder rungs, shelving edges, gym handle protectors, roof racks and general bumpers to protect wood and sports equipment.
Packaging: shipped as a single strip of tubular insulation (1 x pipe insulation). Installation is simple—cut to length and slip over the target pipe or rod. The material’s flexibility makes it easy to work with for DIY projects.
Performance notes: offers non-absorbent behavior, basic thermal insulation, and resistance to moisture. While it provides flame-retardant properties and weather resistance for many situations, it is a moderate-thickness foam best suited for light to medium duty protection and insulation tasks.
Pros
- Flexible and easy to install
- Flame-retardant and water resistant
- Multiple DIY and industrial uses
Cons
- Wall thickness is modest
- Single-piece length may need trimming
- Not for heavy-duty thermal insulation
VerdictA versatile nitrile rubber foam sleeve that serves well as pipe insulation and protective padding. It delivers a balance of flame resistance, water repellence and flexibility. Best for light- to medium-duty cushioning, HVAC pipe wrapping, and DIY grip covers. Fit and finish are accurate to specs, though the wall thickness is modest—suitable for many tasks but not for heavy-duty thermal insulation

Flattened rather than round
These arrive flat and do not match the perfectly round appearance shown in the first image.

Durable outdoors
High quality — I used it on an exterior pipe and after more than a year it's still in good shape.

Delivery delay, item was fine
Shipment was delayed and tracking showed customs processing. A neighbor held onto it and I finally received it—product condition matched my expectations.

Helpful for hand support
As a colored-pencil artist with carpal tunnel, this tubing cushions my pencils nicely. It absorbs pressure, is easy to slide pencils in and out, and keeps them secure. Much more tubing for the material than specialty holders.

Not what I expected
Wall feels thinner than anticipated and the foam is somewhat delicate, so it didn't work well as a heavy-duty grip. The measurements are accurate but photos were misleading for me.

Not impressed with the build; I expected more durability for general use.

Good ladder padding
Sturdy enough to cushion my loft bed ladder rungs. I wish it came thicker, but it was simple to measure and cut with scissors. Inside diameter fit snugly and it has held up so far.
