1. A specialized pipefitting cover for an insulated, Y-shaped joint having a straight pipe segment and an additional pipe protruding from the straight pipe segment comprising:

  • two half sections including a first section having an elongated trough-shaped body adapted to conform to the straight pipe segment and a second section having an elongated trough-shaped body adapted to conform to the straight pipe segment and also having means to accommodate the additional pipe segment protruding from said straight pipe segment at an angle,said half sections being further shaped so that when positioned together in opposed relationship, they form the shape of the Y-shaped joint to be covered,each of said half sections having edge portions permitting overlap of the edges when said sections are in a position of opposed relationship, said sections being further sized so that said edges of one section overlap and fit snugly inside the edges of the other section, creating a closed pipefitting cover and each of said half sections having two opposite ends with openings configured in said ends, which openings closely conform to said straight pipe segments when said half sections are positioned together in opposed relationships, andsaid means to accommodate an additional pipe segment comprising a generally cylindrical protrusion from the body of said second section, the protrusion extending from the body of the second section for a length at substantially the same angle as said additional pipe segment to be covered and ending with a flat closure face substantially perpendicular to said angle.
