Abstract: Apparatus and methods for insulating a connector that connects a first tubular member having a first flange with a second tubular member having a second flange. The apparatus comprises a generally tubular body forming a generally tubular cavity therein adapted to enclose the connector. The body has a longitudinal opening adapted to receive the first tubular member and a closure member for closing said opening. The body and the closure member are lined with insulation and include first and second seals for sealing with the first and second flanges so as to seal around the connector.
