Why use a Valve Insulation Jacket? 

Often referred to as Valve Insulation Covers or Valve Insulation Wraps, a Valve Insulation Jacket is used to insulate and protect a whole variety of pipe fittings, valves and pipe sections. They have a whole host of benefits, some of which we have detailed below:  

Easy to fit and remove 

When servicing or inspection is required our Valve Insulation Jackets can easily be removed as they have Velcro fasteners & pull cords for a snug fit. Steam Traps, Gate Valves, Strainers, Victaulic Bends, Screwed Levers & Flanges all need maintaining to ensure there’s no leakages or corrosion. In some cases Gave Valves may become jammed so by having a removable insulation jacket speeds up the process.

Protect your pipes from frost 

Reducing energy costs is high on every business’s agenda. So by insulating your pipes you won’t be heating wasted spaces. Steam Valves & Traps, Heat Exchangers, PRV (steam pressure-reducing valve (PRV) stations, Flanges and are just some systems that should require insulation covers.

Energy Saving 

Removable, insulation covers are another way to help protect the environment as well as save money on your energy bills. By insulating your pipes you will also be preventing the unnecessary waste of discarded hard insulation. Hard insulation isn’t adaptable as more often than not they’ll be gaps in the conventional insulation may be due to maintenance leaving the actual valve unprotected and to heat loss – and nobody wants that. 

Staff Safety

By having your pipes protected not only helps with heat protection but from any potential hazards to your workforce. Burn, scalds and steam burns are often reported as well as the discomfort of working at high workroom temperatures whilst trying to find fault and issues. All of our valve covers can withstand extremes of heat but are safe to touch. They also absorb the pipe heat to help keep work areas cooler and safer when having to perform maintenance. 

We have a whole selection of Valve Jackets & Cover that not only conform to BS5422 but they are available in a wide selection of sizes. We can also meet any bespoke requirements.
