摘要

The present invention relates to an enclosure (100) and method of enclosing a conduit (A) upon which a heating process is to be conducted using such enclosure (100). An inflatable body (10) has a central opening (10A,10B) at each end. First and second gloved armatures (11A,11B) extend into the interior and for receipt of the hand of a human operator. A viewing section (13) is disposed through the enclosure (100) between the armatures (11A,11B) for observing the operation. An inflation conduit (AL) may be received through the enclosure (100) for initiating inflation. The openings (10A,10B) are sealing secured against the conduit (A) after the enclosure (100) is inflated and the conduit (A) properly inserted therein.
