A method for installing a fairing on a line comprising:
- wrapping a flap portion of the fairing at least partially around the line;
- and
- coupling an appendage defined by the fairing into a hollow defined by the fairing such that a distal portion of flap abuts a body portion of the fairing.
A fairing comprising:
- a flap that extends at least partially along a long dimension of the fairing;
- a main body coupled to the flap, the main body extending along the long dimension of the fairing;
- an appendage protruding from the fairing, and the appendage defining a cross-sectional shape;
- and
- a hollow defined in the fairing, the hollow defining a cross-sectional shape being a negative image of the cross-sectional shape of the appendage.
