Insulating with Arma-Chek D >> Using Pre-Covered Sheets

   
5.  Completed  Arma-Chek  eccentric  reducer  made  of 
   factory-coated Arma-Chek D sheet material.

VALVE COVERINGS

Insulate the connected pipes to a length of 100 mm and 
the valve spindle depending on its length using uncoat-
ed Armafl ex.

1.  Determine the dimensions - 
   

diameter of the end disc:

   a = diameter of the fl ange + 2 x insulation thickness

 

 

height of jacket: 

   b = from end of screw to end of screw + 5 mm allowan
 

 jacket opening: 

   c = diameter of the insulatedvalve spindle
   

end disc opening:

   d = diameter of the connected pipes + 2 x ins. thickness

   

   

Note:

 5 mm must be added to the jacket height deter-

   mined.  5  mm  must  be  subtracted  from  all  measur-
   ments for openings.
2.  Cross-section A-A:  Determine  the  circumference  of 

   the fl ange with a strip of Arma-Chek D.

   
3.  Transfer  the  measurements  determined  to  the 
   appropriate pre-coated Arma-Chek sheet.
   Install the valve covering and securely bond all areas 
   where there is a risk of penetration with the appro-
   priate Armafl ex adhesive. 
   

For indoor applications

, cover the uncoated insula-

   tion on the pipes and the valve spindle with 100 mm 
   wide Arma-Chek Dself-adhesive tape.
   

On outdoor applications

, use 100 mm wide strips 

   of the covering material.
   Measure and cut the covering for the valve spindle 
   as  described  in  the  chapter  ”Applying  covering 
   material: Valve-Ts / Pipe-Ts“ (see page xx).
