Multilayered pipe valve insulation cover

A multilayered nonwoven insulating barrier for insulating a component, the insulating barrier comprising:

• at least first and second layers of a nonwoven material overlapping one another, the first and the second layers are secured to one another by a first pair of seams to form a batt, and an integral pocket being formed between the first and the second layers and between the seams of the first pair of seams;
• an insulating material being accommodated within the integral pocket;
• the batt having opposed first and second side edges and opposed first and second end edges, a distance from the first side edge to the second side edge being a width of the insulating barrier, and a distance from the first end edge to the second end edge being a length of the insulating barrier;
• an elongate first elastomeric member is secured to the batt along the first end edge such that the width of the insulating barrier along the first end edge is elastically adaptable, the first elastomeric member extends from the first side edge to the second side edge, and an elongate second elastomeric member is secured to the batt along the second end edge such that the width of the insulating barrier along the second end edge is elastically adaptable, and the second elastomeric member extends from the first side edge to the second side edge;
• an elongate first releasable member is secured to the batt along the first side edge and extends from the first end edge to the second end edge, and an elongate second releasable member is secured to the batt along the second side edge and extends from the first end edge to the second end edge;
• the first releasable member being releasably couplable to the second releasable member to partially define an interior area of the insulating barrier and form a third seal along the first and the second side edges, the component to be insulated being located within the interior area of the insulating barrier when the insulating barrier is installed on the component to be insulated;
• the first end edge being elastically adaptable to contact and form a first seal with the component to be insulated along the first end edge and to further define the interior area of the insulating barrier;
• the second end edge being elastically adaptable to contact and form a second seal with the component to be insulated along the second end edge and to additionally define the interior area of the insulating barrier;
• and
• the first, the second and the third seals at least reducing a flow of at least one of fluid, air and moisture between the interior area of the insulating barrier and an exterior of the insulating barrier.

A multilayered nonwoven insulating barrier with an integral pocket for facilitating installation of a component to be insulated, the insulating barrier comprising:

• at least first and second nonwoven layers overlapping one another and being stitched with one another by a first pair of seams so as to form the integral pocket therebetween;
• insulation being accommodated within the integral pocket;
• an elongate first elastic member being secured to a first end of the insulating barrier and extending along the first end from a first side of the insulating barrier to an opposed second side of the insulating barrier to facilitate wrapping the first end around and forming a first seal with the component to be insulated, the first elongate first elastic member having an unstretched length which is short than a length of the first end of the insulating barrier so that the first elastic member is at least partially stretched when forming the first seal with the component to be insulated;
• an elongate second elastic member being secured to an opposed second end of the insulating barrier and extending along the second end from the first side to the second side to facilitate wrapping the second end around and forming a second seal with the component to be insulated, the second elongate elastic member having an unstretched length which is short than a length of the second end of the insulating barrier so that the second elastic member is at least partially stretched when forming the second seal with the component to be insulated;
• a first releasable member being secured along the first side of the insulating barrier and a mating second releasable member being secured along the opposed second side of the insulating barrier;
• and
• the first and the second releasable members facilitate releasable wrapping of the insulating barrier about the component to be insulated and forming a third seal therewith.
