Protect your water meters during the cold winter months

Water meter bursts, which increase as winter cold takes effect, can be prevented by insulating pipes and meters. The freezing problem frequently experienced during winter months and resulting water meter bursts cause hundreds of water meters to malfunction each year. Exposed water pipes and meters freeze, pipes sustain damage and meters burst. Insulating water pipes and meters prevents bursting as a result of freezing. Pipe diameter, ambient temperature and insulation thickness have a direct effect on pipes and meters. As insulation thickness increases, resistance to freezing also increases and the freezing time of stagnant water lengthens. In this problem that can occur in any type of plumbing element containing stagnant water, İzocam Glass Wool Prefabricated Pipe with high-thickness glass wool-based application and elastomeric rubber-based İzocamflex can be safely used. Similarly, insulation of water meters, valves and tanks with İzocam Glass Wool Boards and sheets prevents freezing. In particular, İzocam Valve Jacket, which is easy to apply and specially prepared for meters, prevents water meter bursts.
