Elastomeric Tee for 1-3/8" Tubing

The Nomaco Kflex 801-T-048138 is a black elastomeric tee fitting designed to join three sections of 1-3/8 inch outside diameter tubing. It is built for HVAC and plumbing professionals who need a flexible, closed-cell insulation piece that installs without slitting. The NBR/PVC material provides antimicrobial and flame-retardant protection in a single component.

Plenum Rated to UL 94 with 25 Flame Spread

This fitting carries a plenum rating and meets UL 94 requirements with a flame spread index of 25. That certification is the single specification that determines whether the part satisfies commercial building codes for air-handling spaces. Without it, the tee cannot be used in plenum applications regardless of its thermal performance.

R-Value 3.1 from -297 to 220 Degrees F

The closed-cell foam delivers an R-value of 3.1 across a continuous operating range of -297 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. That capacity handles most refrigeration and heating lines with comfortable headroom. The material reaches its limit beyond the stated temperature extremes or where a higher R-value is specified by design.

Questions about this item

What does the R-value of 3.1 mean once this tee is installed on a pipe?

The R-value of 3.1 indicates the thermal resistance of the NBR/PVC elastomeric foam, reducing heat loss or gain on the 1-3/8 inch tube at operating temperatures between -297 and 220 degrees F.

Which standard does the UL 94 rating cover for this elastomeric fitting?

UL 94 confirms the material meets a flame spread index of 25 and is rated plenum rated, so it self-extinguishes and limits smoke in air-handling spaces.

What pipe size and wall thickness does this tee require to fit correctly?

The tee is sized for a 1 inch pipe with a 1-3/8 inch outside diameter and has a 1/2 inch wall thickness, supplied unslit for a closed-cell seal.
