Insulating sleeve

An insulating sleeve for a compressor discharge pipe, the insulating sleeve comprising:

• a body portion configured to fit at least partially around a segment of the compressor discharge pipe, the body portion having a first flexible curved arm and a second flexible curved arm, the first and second arms extending from opposite sides of the body portion, the first resilient flexible curved arm having a first end, the second resilient flexible curved arm having a second end, the first and second resilient flexible curved arm having a normal position in which the first and second ends are separated by a distance that is less than a diameter of the compressor discharge pipe;
• wherein the first and second resilient flexible curved arms are configured to bend so that the distance between the first and second ends is greater than the diameter of the compressor discharge pipe to facilitate insertion or removal of the compressor discharge pipe from the insulating sleeve;
• and
• wherein, after the insertion or removal of the compressor discharge pipe, the first and second resilient flexible curved arms return to the normal position.
