Canusa Heat Shrink Sleeves

FT Pipeline Systems is the exclusive distributor in the UK for the Shawcor company Canusa-CPS

By: FT Pipeline Systems Ltd

Published: April 28, 2021

Our range of high quality Canusa heat shrink sleeves (jointing sleeves) form a permanently bonded watertight seal on all diameters of pipe. Their flexibility ensures perfect seals on straight runs, junctions and bends and have been used for corrosion protection of pipeline joints in the UK for over 30 years.

The sleeves are heat activated / PE wraps for corrosion protection of all types of jointing methods. Canusa heat shrink sleeves are quick and easy to install, as there is no need to prime or profile the pipe and no specialist labour or wrapping equipment is required, making them extremely cost effective. They are also very versatile; they are suitable for use on steel, plastic and ductile iron pipe joints, and are delivered pre-cut to fit the diameter of the pipe, giving no wastage of materials.

Canusa sleeves provide excellent mechanical adhesion and corrosion protection, achieved by heat shrinking the thick two-layer ethylene co polymer sleeve, driving out air and moisture from the joint.
