PRV inlet line cold insulation
PRV inlet line cold insulation
(OP)
I have noticed on several designs where a PRV is installed in a main line with cold insulation (on the main line), the insulation is only applied on a short section of the PRV inlet line branch. The remainder of the branch line to the PRV is not insulated. Can someone explain why no cold insulation is typically applied near the PRV inlet? Are there any safety issues if the cold insulation is applied all the way up to the PRV inlet flange?
Thanks
Thanks

Thanks for the responses. I also had the same initial thoughts. However, when I checked the design specifications, it stated that cutting back the insulation only applied to cold insulation. For hot insulation, the insulation is carried all the way to the PRV inlet. So I'm wondering why cutting back the insulation only applies to cold lines??
Thanks.
