Abstract:
1. A protective conduit sleeve, comprising: a length of self-healing material sized to be positioned in a spaced relationship over a conduit; a first and a second spacer positioned between the self-healing material and the conduit, the spacers being configured to position the self-healing material at the spaced relationship to the conduit, so as to prevent contact between the self-healing material and the conduit, the first and the second spacer extending radially around the conduit; and a first and a second compression strap, the first compression strap securing the self-healing material to the first spacer, the second compression strap securing the self- healing material to the second spacer; wherein the first and second spacer and the self-healing material form a fluidly sealed hollow space void of material for receiving fluid leaking from the conduit due to a penetration formed in at least one of the conduit, and the conduit and self-healing material when; and wherein the spaced relationship between the self-healing material and the conduit permits the penetration in the self-healing material to close prior to the fluid being forced into the penetration in the self-healing material.
