Buy pipe sleeving from a company with a history of working with refineries and chemical processors

If your small business is responsible for transporting chemicals such as gasoline, choose pipe sleeves from someone with knowledge of the special needs of your industry. Too many things can go wrong to take a chance on a company without experience.

I recommend: Sivco has been serving petrochemical companies since 1964. Topaz has forty years of experience working with chemical plants, refineries and gas distribution companies.

Choose a pipe repair sleeve that will not shut down your business or slow production

The quicker you can repair a pipe, the better. In addition to traditional protective pipe sleeves, today there are alternatives to get you back up and running as quickly as possible.

I recommend: Link-Pipe, Inc. offers the Link-Pipe Pressure Seal, which is an internal repair sleeve. EA Services provides a wrap system to repair pipes without extended downtime.

Choose protective pipe sleeves suited for the building codes and the climate

It is necessary to insulate pipes, especially in colder climates. Additionally, if you are working on a new construction with fire rated ceilings and walls, you must not compromise the fire protection when putting pipes from one room to the next or from a ceiling to the floor above.

I recommend: API Distribution offers Anco system 6000, a PVC pipe sleeve with an easy slip-on design. ASTROflame has developed the ASTRO Thermal Fire Pipe Sleeve to reinstate the fire rating of construction and prevent fire from spreading. It also prevents copper pipes from cement erosion

Find cheap cylinder sleeves when repairing engines

Use the right cylinder sleeve in your automotive work to extend the life of the engine. Consider shopping rebuilt dealers for better prices.

I recommend: Cyclewareables offers motorcycle cylinder sleeves. RAMS Cylinder Heads sells rebuilt parts for foreign and American cars.
