Removable insulation covers
Removable insulation covers
(OP)
Hello, everyone.
I work for a manufacturer of removable / reusable insulation covers, and we're beginning to receive a lot of orders for valve covers. I've researched many of these valves, and was wondering if there might be a source of more detailed information on common valve types, included those dimensions usually unspecified in manufacturer cut sheets. We need pretty exact dimensions to design custom-fit covers, and rarely receive them. In fact, we usually end up on site, trying to accurately cover the valves.
Thanks in advance for any help.

RE: Removable insulation covers
As you are making flexible covers you might get enough dimensions to make a generic cover for say a 6" 300# steel gate valve. There are a lot foreign valves in service now with the proper takeout but different bonnets.
Depending on your location you might see if you can access to a large valve distributor or large refurbishing shop and pull some measurements. You might look at their website cute sheets.
I would look at the following websites for starters and see what type information is available.
