Thermaxx Jackets has expanded our available color schemes for your next removable insulation blanket upgrade! Color-coded insulation jackets can indicate operating temperatures or simply bring school spirit to your boiler room with jackets that match your school colors. Typically, there are three main colors used in a steam room: Yellow, Orange and Blue.

Color-Coded Pipe Insulation Standards
Yellow = Steam (Anything over 205°F)
Orange = Condensate (Anything under 200°F)
Safety Blue = Chilled Water (60°F and under)
