Steam Trap Insulation Jackets
1. Product Overview
Steam trap insulation jackets are custom-fabricated removable thermal covers engineered specifically to fit industrial steam traps, condensate drain assemblies, and complete steam trap stations. Because steam traps have a notoriously high failure rate and require frequent inspection, testing, and maintenance, traditional rigid stay-in-place insulation is completely impractical, often leaving traps unexposed and wasting hundreds of dollars in energy annually per station. Constructed from high-temperature resistant coated fiberglass outer fabrics and filled with high-efficiency thermal insulation blankets, these removable jackets eliminate severe radiant heat loss, protect personnel, and allow hassle-free detachment and reinstallation for routine servicing.
