How to check fit and access
Trial-fit both bend segments and check end transitions and panel removal without touching supports.
See inspection and acceptance checks →Steam & hot water
Removable pipe elbow insulation jackets
Fit a removable cover to an awkward bend and bridge to adjacent insulation.
Bends near equipment, access panels and regularly serviced piping.
Product views and construction details
Compare alternate views and see how the jacket opens, fits or fastens.
Design and specifications
Contour panels reduce bunching along the inside radius and help the ends line up with adjacent pipe insulation.
- Shape and construction
- Two contoured segments shaped to the bend radius
- Facing, core and hot face
- Coated glass-fibre facing and enclosed flexible fibrous core; thin-profile core can be reviewed at tight obstructions.
- Nominal core thickness
- 25 / 40 mm nominal comparison; confirm core build-up on the inside radius.
- Installation and closure
- Reinforced overlap with short straps on the accessible side of the bend.
- Dimensions to confirm
- Pipe OD, centreline bend radius, angle, straight tangents and obstruction distances.
These are options for a custom quotation. Confirm the assembled materials, dimensions, service limits and finish in writing.

Operating temperature and expected result
Compare coverage at the bend apex and check for gaps or compressed core at the inner radius.
Agree the conditions, measurement points and target for the proposed cover before quoting. Record the complete assembly’s approved service limits separately from the target outside-face temperature.

Calculated outside-face temperature for Shannon LT450SS at 21.1 °C ambient, flat-surface model. The manufacturer lists a maximum service temperature of 232 °C for this model. The columns show its nominal insulation thicknesses in millimeters and the manufacturer’s approximate inch equivalents.
| Operating temperature | 25 mm (1 in) | 40 mm (1½ in) | 50 mm (2 in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 121 °C | 37.9 °C | 33.3 °C | 30.8 °C |
| 177 °C | 47.3 °C | 40.3 °C | 36.3 °C |
| 232 °C | 57.2 °C | 47.8 °C | 42.3 °C |
These figures describe the cited manufacturer’s model. Shape, airflow, compression, gaps and closures affect the installed result. A lower outside-face temperature still needs to be checked against your site’s contact and inspection requirements.

Measure pipe OD, bend angle and radius, straight lengths at each end and surrounding clearance.
Include a drawing or scaled photos, quantity and delivery location. Once the key measurements are available, we can review a CAD drawing or annotated design together.
