Abstract
Slit pieces of thermal insulating molded rubber are configured to conform to under-sink piping, so as to provide protection against burn injury from contact with hot surfaces. Three or four pieces are telescopically and rotatably interengaged with one another to cooperatively enclose an installed P-trap assembly, and the piece covering the J-bend is formed with a protrusion to accommodate clean-out structure provided thereon.
