This product significantly improves heating system efficiency by reducing heat loss from pipes. A key benefit is the ease of installation, even around complex pipework.

FAQs

What is Topsleeve made of?

Topsleeve pipe insulation is made of sheep wool, a natural and sustainable material.

Is the insulation fire-resistant?

Yes, sheep wool is naturally fire retardant and does not support combustion.

Can I use Topsleeve on all types of pipes?

Topsleeve is designed for 15mm/22mm pipes and is compatible with copper pipes. Always check the correct pipe size before installing.

How do I install Topsleeve around corners?

The flexible nature of the wool allows you to easily fit it around corners. Ensure a snug fit and secure it with tape or fixings.

Can Topsleeve be used for both hot and cold water pipes?

Yes, it can be used for both, as the wool provides thermal insulation against both heat loss and the effects of cold.

What is the lifespan of Topsleeve?

The lifespan of Topsleeve depends on environmental conditions, but it is a durable product designed for long-term use within a building's infrastructure.

How do I clean Topsleeve?

Clean Topsleeve with a dry cloth. Avoid using water or strong cleaning agents.

What is the benefit of the acoustic insulation?

The wool absorbs sound and reduces noise level considerably, especially from pipes expanding and contracting with temperature changes.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty feeding the insulation over existing pipework.

Ensure you are feeding the insulation from an open end. For tight spaces, consider removing any obstacles or temporarily disconnecting the pipe.

Insulation not staying in place.

Use tape or fixings to secure the insulation to the pipe. Ensure a tight fit and overlap the seams to prevent gaps.

Pipes still feeling cold.

Check for any gaps or areas where the insulation is not fully covering the pipe. Ensure a complete seal and consider adding more insulation in particularly cold areas.
