About the OMAT

Unlike conventional soldering mats, the OMAT wraps around the pipe offering complete protection to the surrounding surfaces

Perfect Fit

The unique shape with slit and overlap gives a tight and secure fit unlike conventional soldering mats.

Unique Design

Fits neatly around the pipe to ensure maximum heat dissipation in the solder fitting and minimum heat escape to cause scorching or ignition of flammable material.

Highly Durable

The OMAT heat shield is stitched all round with flame proof cotton and will resist temperature up to 600°C.

Useful for DIY Enthusiasts

The OMAT heat shield is of equal value to the DIY enthusiast as it is to the professional plumber as both take extreme pride in their workmanship.

The OMAT story

The OMAT was thought up by and designed by Dean Thomas, a kitchen fitter. He was looking for a solution to a problem; the problem being preventing scorch marks and risk of fire, which was difficult in tight and awkward places where conventional soldering mats weren’t of much use. But where the design of OMAT succeeded where other failed is its unique shape with slit and overlap, providing a secure fit and complete protection. Ever since then, the OMAT heat shield has been manufactured by Monument Tools right here in Great Britain.
