Measuring your valves for Custom Installation Covers
We can easily provide custom NOSWEAT™ insulated valve covers with a few simple measurements.
In addition to the valve type and insulation thickness, we need the "length, height, and width" measurements as shown below.
Note: NOSWEAT™ Mechanical Grooved Fitting Covers are now available by custom order.
Measuring the Height
Looking at the valve straight on, measure the height of the valve starting just above the insulated pipe section - or the highest point of the valve - down to the lowest point of the valve.
Measuring the Length
Looking at the valve straight on, measure the length of the valve plus 2 inches on either side.
Measuring the Width
Looking at the back of the valve, measure the width (right to left) making sure you accommodate for any protrusions, stems or levers.
