Standard Fitting Covers
Our standard fitting covers include short/long radius 90s, 45s, and tees in one-piece or two-piece designs. These durable PVC covers accommodate fiberglass inserts and come in carved or round end caps. Designed for insulation applications, they ensure seamless integration with common piping configurations while maintaining compliance and longevity.
Mechanical Grooved Fitting Covers
Victaulic and Gruvlok-compatible covers feature V-series step reducers, G-series tapered ends, and low-profile designs for tight spaces. The advanced two-bolt AGS system enhances installation efficiency. These covers provide secure, weather-resistant protection for mechanical grooved piping systems in industrial environments requiring precise dimensional tolerances and corrosion resistance.
Specialty Fitting Covers
Specialty covers address unique applications including P-traps, strainer covers, and flange gate valves. Extended-leg designs eliminate metal bands in pre-insulated systems. Engineered for time-saving installation, these solutions meet specialized requirements in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial piping while maintaining Proto Corporation's standards for material integrity and environmental durability.
Bare Pipe Covers
Designed for copper and iron pipes without insulation, these covers handle screwed fittings in short/long radius 90s, 45s, and tees. Available in standard configurations, they provide corrosion protection and aesthetic consistency for exposed piping systems where thermal insulation is not required, maintaining dimensional accuracy and installation ease.

Proto Corporation's PVC jacketing systems offer UV-resistant protection for indoor/outdoor applications. Available in thicknesses from .010 to .040 mils, they include cut-and-curl options, pre-curled lengths, and flat sheets.
