As a guideline,cut the required lengths of Sleeve material (L)and Closure material (W) from the bulk roll as follows Ensure that the PE coating edges are beveled to 30°.
L = Coated Pipe circumference + overlap dimension W = Sleeve Width Clean exposed steel and adjacent pipe coating with a
solvent cleanser to remove the presence of oil,
Ensure that the sleeve and closure are not damaged or contaminated. Trim corners as shown . grease, and other contaminants.
Please see “CanusaWrapTM Sleeve Cutting Guideline” for more information on alternative cutting methods.

Ensure that the pipe is dry before cleaning.
Prepare the steel joint area using the Surface
Preparation and Pre-Heat as a guideline. Lightly
abrade the pipe coating adjacent to the cutback
area to a distance of 50mm (2") beyond each end
of the sleeve width.
Wipe clean or air blast the steel and pipe coating to
remove foreign contaminants.
Pre-heat the joint area to the minimum required
temperature (see Surface Preparation & Pre-Heat
Chart). Using a temperature measuring device,
ensure that the correct temperature is reached on
the steel and at least 50mm (2") on each side of the
sleeve.
