    Heat wrap - how much do I need

    I want to heat wrap my down pipe, and I've found a seller on ebay selling it by the metre. 50mm wide and 2mm thick. How many metres will I need? Can't see it being much more than 2m, but thought I'd check first

    Always get a meter more than you think you will need

    Jesus that was quick! Lol, OK 3 metres it is. It's only £1 a metre, plus 79p postage anyway.
