3. Shrink-on reduction sleeves
For reasons related to statics, shrink-on reduction sleeves to insulate
steel reduction joints that are welded in by the pipelayer (provided
by the customer or others) are designed to reduce the dimension by
a maximum of three steps. Their structure corresponds to that of the
non-cross-linked PE shrink sleeve, and they must be pushed onto the
outer casing before the medium pipe is welded.
The non-cross-linked reduction shrink sleeve consists of a heat-shrunk
PE sleeve pipe and the following accessories:
- Shrink-on collars
- Permanently elastic sealing strip, butyl rubber
- Venting plug
- Welded-in PE plug

Fitting sleeves made of non-cross-linked PE are used when it is not
possible to push the joint sleeves on due to shortage of space.
The fitting sleeve is separated in the axial direction and it can then
be moved into position over the points where the pipes are connected.
This separation point is welded to guarantee the tightness of
the sleeve.

5. Shrink-on end sleeve
The shrink-on end sleeve is used to insulate pipe closures in the
ground and in buildings or shafts. It has the same structure as a non-
cross-linked PE shrink-on sleeve but is sealed on one side with a PE
end cover.
