The Omat Plumbers Soldering Mat is a patented GB2406515 heat shield to prevent the risk of fire and damage to walls and cabinets surrounding soldered joints. It is a must have for professional plumbers, heating and gas engineers. The Omat wraps around the pipe unlike a conventional plumbers soldering mat. It offers complete protection to the surrounding surfaces.
The unique patented shape with an overlap gives a secure fit for both 15mm and 22mm copper pipe.
The Omat is Made In Britain and high durable. It is stitched around the outside and along the flap with flame proof cotton. It is manufactured from the same material as the Monument plumbers soldering mat 2350X.
The unique patented design fits neatly around 15mm and 22mm copper pipe to ensure maximum protection when heat is dissipated from the soldered joint.
Omat Invented by Dean Thomas
The Omat plumbers soldering mat was designed by kitchen fitter Dean Thomas. Dean whilst fitting kitchens found too many scorch marks from soldering in the back of the cabinets. His design with the patented flap and overlap, ensures when soldering, that there is a tight and secure fit around the joint reducing the risk of of scorch marks. Read more on Dean’s Omat website.
