Protect Polyfoam Hives from Vaporiser Heat Transfer

Polyfoam hives handle heat differently to timber, and without the right protection, treatment heat can transfer through the hive wall more than you'd expect. This heat-resistant silicone insulation is designed to fit over the outlet pipe of your InstantVap oxalic acid vaporiser, helping reduce that heat transfer during treatments and protecting your polyfoam equipment.

Trim to Fit Your Setup

The silicone sleeve can be trimmed to the correct length for your specific setup, giving you a precise fit around the outlet pipe rather than a one-size-fits-all sleeve that may not sit correctly.

Important: Cutting Instructions

Cut the silicone so it does not extend beyond the outlet pipe. Overhanging insulation can cause oxalic acid to crystallise at the tip, affecting treatment performance, so trim carefully before each use.

Package Includes

  • 5 x Silicone Insulation Sleeves

Compatibility

  • Suitable for polyfoam hives
  • Fits InstantVap outlet pipes
  • Not recommended for InstantVap Turbo units

What is this silicone insulation used for?

It fits over the outlet pipe of your InstantVap oxalic acid vaporiser, helping reduce heat transfer to polyfoam hives during treatment.

Do I need to cut the silicone before use?

Yes, trim it so it does not extend beyond the outlet pipe. Overhanging insulation can cause oxalic acid to crystallise at the tip.

Is this compatible with the InstantVap Turbo?

No, this silicone insulation is not recommended for use with InstantVap Turbo units.

How many sleeves come in a pack?

Each pack includes 5 silicone insulation sleeves.

Will the colour of the sleeves be consistent?

Colour may vary between packs, though this doesn't affect performance.

Is this suitable for timber hives?

It's specifically designed for polyfoam hives, which handle heat differently to timber hives during vaporiser treatments.

What happens if the silicone overhangs the outlet pipe?

Overhanging insulation can cause oxalic acid to crystallise at the tip, so it should always be trimmed flush with the pipe.

Can these sleeves be reused across multiple treatments?

Yes, once trimmed to fit, the sleeves can be reused for ongoing treatments as long as they remain in good condition.
