About Angle Stop Check Valves
An angle stop check valve is a shut-off valve used to stop the flow of gases, fluids, or steam from one section of system piping to another. The valve drives a stop either inwards or outwards that shuts-off the flow of gas, fluids or steam in that direction. This provides an easily accessible way to shut off only portions of a plumbing system for maintenance, repairs or other installations.
Insulating Angle Stop Check Valves
The 90-degree bend in angle stop valves, coupled with the shape of the valves themselves, makes angle stop valves difficult to insulate. This becomes especially complex if the rest of a system has already been fitted with insulation. This would cause the angle stop valve to be subject to extra stress from the temperature difference between it and the rest of the insulated system. Off-the-shelf insulation solutions can be a non-starter for these purposes, since they are inflexible by design and don’t incorporate tricky components like angle stop valves.
Angle Stop Check Valve Insulation

Plant operators can benefit greatly from insulating angle stop valves in conjunction with the rest of their piping systems
