Hydra-Zorb's Klo-Shure insulated pipe couplings are now available in metric diameters. Intended for use with poly- propylene pipe and tube systems, the insulated couplings provide a vapor barrier at the clamping points along pipe runs. The coupling allows for a clamp to be attached to the pipe without compromising the insulation.
