AC hose insulation wrap
I plan to remove some old, very old duct tape that the PO wrapped around the AC hoses/tubes (see pic). It looks like part of the tubing was painted black and about two inches were actually taped where it goes into the plastic housing. I bought some of the black, sticky type insulation wrap to cover the tubing but I'm not sure how much of the tubing that I should insulate using the black wrap. Can anyone help? Maybe send a pic that will show what it should like like?

Re: AC hose insulation wrap
About 1” more than the duct tape in your pic. It’s just there to cover and insulate the sensing bulb from your expansion valve.

Re: AC hose insulation wrap
Thanks clay68c10, exactly what I was looking for. Is there any special paint I need to use to paint the tubing since its all flaked/chipped off already?
