May I ask if I find some water in the insulation, do you know why? Thank you 🙏

[@LookInto]

The most likely guesses would be condensation as the pipe you are insulating gets very cold when AC is running. It's like having a cold drink on a warm/humid day where condensation forms on the outside of the glass, same things happens on the pipe. Or, if it rains (or you have sprinklers) water can get in there as well, they're not air or watertight tight at all. So those reasons would be normal. A refrigerant leak could cause that as well I suppose, but seems less likely. During your annual checkup your HVAC service person would be able to find out if it was a leak.

@@LookInto Hi, thanks for the reply. I believe you are referring to the copper pipe insulation. My HVAC pipe is fine. I'm referring to covering the control wire or whatever the small wire is called. What is the size of that flex loom?

7/8 flex loom at home depot or lowes

Hi,May I know the size or the diameter of this copper ac insulation and where did u buy it,thanks more power

[@LookInto]

I got it from Lowes (Home Depot has it as does Amazon if you prefer amzn.to/3JmUKTe). Usually comes in a 6 foot length, mine was the 1/2" diameter (of the inside hole) but it sometimes comes in 3/4" and 1" interior hole sizes as well. Hope that helps!
