261480 - Miller ProHeat Induction Blanket Sleeve for 56-Inch Pipe

Extend the Life of Your Heating Gear

As a welder or heat treatment technician, you know that your tools are your livelihood. When working with advanced induction heating systems like the Miller ProHeat 35, the heating blankets are the heart of the operation. The Miller 261480 Induction Blanket Sleeve is designed to keep that heart beating strong. This isn't just a cover; it's a protective shield for your gear when you're out in the field tackling a 56-inch pipe job.

Working on large diameter pipes often involves rough surfaces, rust, and tight spaces. Dragging a bare induction blanket over these surfaces can cause tears, fraying, and eventual failure of the coil insulation. This sleeve acts as a sacrificial layer, taking the abuse so your expensive blanket doesn't have to. Measuring 187 inches long, it wraps completely around a 56-inch pipe, and the 5.5-inch narrow width allows for precise placement, especially when you need to stack multiple blankets or work near obstructions.

Using the sleeve also helps keep your setup clean. It prevents contaminants from embedding themselves into the blanket material, which can affect heating efficiency and safety. When the job is done, the sleeve is easier to clean or replace than the blanket itself. It simplifies your setup and teardown process, giving you confidence that your equipment is protected against the sparks, slag, and scrapes that happen on a busy job site.

Whether you are performing pre-heating to prevent cracking or post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) to relieve stress, reliability is key. You can't afford for a blanket to short out or fail in the middle of a 12-hour heat cycle. By using the Miller 261480 sleeve, you are adding an extra layer of insurance to your process. It shows you care about your equipment and ensures you're ready for the next weld, every time.
