The thermal extension raises the handle of an Albion ball valve clear above the lagging, giving operators a safe, easy grip without cutting into or compromising the insulation layer. No more hacking away at thermal wrapping just to reach a handle buried beneath it.

Beyond accessibility, the extension puts real distance between the operator's hand and the pipe body itself. That standoff protects against the extreme surface temperatures common on hot or cold service lines, so the handle stays comfortable to touch and turn, even when the pipe underneath isn't.

Built specifically to fit Albion brass ball valve series ART 40, ART 41, ART 50, ART 59, and ART 89, this extension installs as a precise match—no modification, no guesswork.
