Valve jacket insulation is a great way to insulate three-way valves. Since they are provided with velcro straps and pull cords, these jackets perfectly fit around three-way valves leaving no room for heat loss. The valves also remain protected from dirt, impurities and dust when they are insulated valve covers.
In our expert option, valve jackets are the best way to insulate three-way valves because:
- Manufacture: Valve covers that we supply here at Buy Insulation Online are made with superior quality silicone glass cloth. The cloth is sewn around 50mm Rockwool insulation.
- Thermal Insulation: The high-quality mineral wool insulation used ensures that three-way valves do not lose heat. It helps save energy and money and makes your building energy-efficient. The pull cords and velcro strap enable easy installation. Not only that, but they also ensure that valve covers fit perfectly around three-way valves, leaving no gaps, hence no way for heat loss.
- Easy to Maintain: As mentioned earlier, valve covers can be easily installed around three-way valves. They can just as easily be removed for maintenance purposes. They are easy to use, unlike traditional, hard insulation.
- Safer Workplace: Valve jackets help protect personnel from contact with the hot surface of the three-way valve. They also improve workplace safety by preventing heat loss in valves and keeping issues like condensation or seating away. Since valve covers reduce the likelihood of condensation in valves they minimise the formation of small water pools in the workplace, which could lead to accidental slips or mishaps.

Three-Way Valve Jacket Insulation
Three-way valves, flanged or screwed, are one of the common valve types found in industries and factories. It is therefore important to protect these valves, both from external damage and heat loss.
It is why here at Buy Insulation Online, we bring to you top-quality valve jackets for 3-way valves in some standard sizes at highly affordable prices. Three-way valve jackets are available for sizes ranging from 15mm to 300mm. We supply these in standard black, standard grey, white and silver colours.
If you are unsure of the valve jacket insulation for your 3-way valves or have any bespoke requirements, we will happy to quote you for them. We can also survey your premises and quote you for your requirements and supply them to you at a reasonable price. All you have to do is email or call us or fill out a survey form on this page.
Now, let us see some of the common questions relating to 3-way valve covers:
What are 3-way valves?
A three-way ball valve usually has three ports or openings for the passage of gas or fluids, hence the name 3-way. These openings are attached to piping or tubing. Depending on the flow direction through the 3 three-way valves, these ports typically are two inlet ports and one outlet portal or one inlet and two outlet ports.
Why insulate 3-way Valves?
3- way valves are a critical component of your piping system. Without proper insulation in place, these can serve as junctions for heat exchange, making the liquid or gas gain or lose heat. In other words, without valve jacket insulation, you will be losing heat, that leads to wastage of both money and energy.
Let us look into some more benefits of using insulation jackets on 3-way valves:
Workplace safety:
We can see condensation or sweat in 3-way valves when there is a significant temperature difference between the surroundings and the liquid or gas within. Water for the condensation or sweat could form tiny polls on the floor, which could in turn lead to slips, causing accidents.
Also, if the hot surface of a 3-way valve is left exposed, not only does it lose heat, but its could also cause burns on personnel coming in contact with these valves. Valve jackets can effectively solve both these issues, thereby increasing workplace safety and efficiency.
Easy maintenance:
Valve covers are flexible and easy to work with. They come with pull cords that enable easy installation and airtight insulation. Just place the valve jackets around the three-way valves, secure them using velcro straps and draw the pull cords.
Valve jacket insulation does not harm the pipe insulation or the three-way valves, unlike your traditional rigid insulation. Valve covers also help protect valves against external damage.
What are valve jackets made of?
Valve covers are made of two main components:
The Outer Cloth:
The most expensive part of these valve covers is its other cloth or covering made of fibreglass cloth. This glass cloth is silicone or PTFE coated and approved by the concerned regulatory bodies. They effectively protect valves against damage, harsh environmental conditions and so on.
Wool insulation:
Valve covers contain about 50mm mineral wool insulation. Mineral wool insulation is water-resistant and has a low thermal conductivity, which restricts the loss/gain in 3-way valves.
Valve jackets are used to insulate both externally and internally situated 3-valves.
Does the valve cover stop condensation?
Condensation happens in un-insulated valves when there is a significant temperature difference and if the valves are in direct contact with the surroundings. Valve covers act as a shield against these surroundings, when they cover your 3-way valves. They also restrict heat loss/gain thus protecting the valves from condensation or sweating.
How to choose a 3-way valve jacket online?
Three-way valve jacket insulation is specially made to fit three-way valves. At Buy Insulation Online, we stock them in standard sizes ranging from 15mm to 300mm.
If the 3-way valve attached to your pipe is about 40mm in size, then you will need a 40mm 3-way valve jacket insulation. If you are unsure about the size, you can WhatsApp, call or email us and we will be happy to help you out!
