Once the manifold has been installed, the jacket can be fitted. The

jacket is a one piece construction and there is no need to remove

any pipework or handwheels to fit it. The jacket can be fitted quickly

and easily by following this procedure.

IJ-MSC

Place jacket on the right hand side of manifold up to mounting studs

so that continuous velcro strip is on outside face of jacket. Wrap

jacket around uppermost pair of valves by passing flaps between

pipework and valve bonnets/handwheels. Pass horizontal

uninsulated velcro flap behind manifold and fasten on continuous

strip on the other side. Now position and fix large flap between each

pair of valves. Adjust any flaps as necessary. The label should be

positioned between the uppermost pair of valves and all vertical

flaps should point downwards. Finally the upper and lower drawcords

should be pulled tightly around the DN40 pipes to close any air gaps.

When fitted the jacket should be a tight fit. The flaps and drawcords

should be fitted tightly to minimise any gaps that would allow air to

flow through or allow the ingress of water.

IJ-MSC-H

Place jacket on the left hand side of the manifold up to mounting studs

so that the buckles on are on the outside face of the jacket. Wrap jacket

around uppermost pair of valves by passing flaps between pipework

and valve bonnets / handwheels. Pass strap behind manifold and through

buckle on other side. Now position and fix large flap as necessary. The

label should be positioned between the uppermost pair of valves and

all straps should point downwards after fastening. Finally the upper and

lower drawcords should be pulled tightly around the DN40 pipes to

close any air gaps.

should be fitted tightly to minimise any gaps that would allow air to flow

through or allow the ingress of water. However, be careful when pulling

straps tight that you do not inadvertently open up gaps in other places.

Important note: Both the inner/outer face and insulation are made

with a bonded aluminium foil. At a temperature of 120°C the adhesive

bonding the aluminium will start to degrade and delamination of the

foil will occur at 150-170°C.

Scorching of the internal fabric may occur at 150°C. Neither of these

reactions will impair the performance.

Removal

Before removing the jacket, check if the manifold is in service. If it is,

then the metal surface will be hot enough to burn and suitable

protective clothing (e.g. gloves) should be worn.

If it is necessary to access any valve, then the whole jacket does not

need to be removed.

Handling

When the jacket is new, the insulation material is fully enclosed

within the inner and outer face and retained by the stitching. In this

condition for handling no special protective clothing is required.

However, if the inner and outer faces become unstitched or damaged

so as to expose the insulation material then suitable protective

clothing (e.g. gloves, safety glasses, face mask and overalls) should

be worn.
