Woodie's DIY will show you how to lag your boiler. It's the simplest and easiest way to save energy and money.

How to do it

Lagging jackets are available in 3 sizes. Ensure that you measure the height of your cylinder and choose between the 30” (750mm), 36” (900mm) or 42” (1050m).

Step 1

Step 1

An insulating jacket pack normally consists of four plastic covered panels, two securing straps and a tie cord.

Step 2

Step 2

Position the panels vertically around the cylinder, with the eyelets to the top. This allows any connecting pipework pass through the gap in the panels.

Step 3

Step 3

Pass the supplied cord through the eyelets and tie off so that the panels fully cover the top of the cylinder.

Step 4

Step 4

Use the two straps to secure the panels in the final position.

These panels insulate more effectively if they are not compressed, so do not over-tighten the straps.
