Tap Jacket

Product Information

Even for smaller scale HVAC insulation projects, the jackets can save up to a third in installation time in comparison to more traditional insulation systems. Furthermore, a flexible jacket system is less likely to sustain damage than traditional stainless steel cladding that can easily be dented and allow moisture ingress. Surface temperatures can be effectively reduced using high-temperature jackets, insulating high-temperature equipment and reducing the risk to personnel from burns. The insulated valve jackets can be tailored to provide thermal insulation to the requirements of the particular application according to ISO 12241:2008 calculation rules.

Both the Jackets and the fixings are designed to be easily removable for maintenance, yet are suitable to withstand exposure at the site. If more than one household is affected, you’ll need to ring Severn Trent’s 24-hour emergency number to report the problem - 0800 783 4444. With a flexible jacket solution, removing the insulation for regular maintenance or inspection need not be a challenge. The jackets are held in place by simple fastening systems, such as stainless steel fixings, straps and/or hook and loop tape.

Other thickness designs are available with also a multiple jacket option for greater heat conservation if required. Standard Alkaline Earth Silicate (AES) insulation wool jackets with an infill of 50mm provide the following thermal conductivity. The jackets can also provide an effective covering of sharp edges of application equipment and thus providing a safer working environment. The integrity of the jackets is not reduced after unfastening and fastening and continues to insulate effectively throughout the product’s lifespan.

Thermal and acoustic insulation jackets are available along with high temperature, winterisation and leak detection jackets. Stop taps are usually located under the kitchen sink, in the garage or in a ground floor utility room or bathroom, near to where the water supply pipe first enters your home. Full installation instructions can be supplied with each jacket, detailing how the components fit together around the structure/application.

Designed to fit closely around awkward pipe features, valves, vessels, flanges and actuators to maximise insulation and remove possible sharp edge hazards. Designed to fit closely around awkward pipe features, valves, vessels, flanges and actuators to maximise insulation and remove possible sharp edge hazards. Jacket fastenings such as hook and loop, lacing hooks or turn buttons mean that a speedy removal can be achieved for the purpose of maintenance or repair. Make sure that you and other members of your household know where your stop tap is located so that it can be reached quickly in an emergency, and most importantly, check that it’s working properly. Standard insulation jackets are available where thermal and energy insulation is required both for improving application performance but also for personal safety.
