Abstract:
An insulating shell designed to fit a variety of thermal expansion tanks which provides substantial insulation. The insulation shell includes a first half shell, a second half shell, and an interlocking mechanism. The first half shell and the second half shell join together to form an enclosed shell with a hollow interior. The first half shell and the second half shell each include a main body, a central cavity, and a hole. The main body provides the thermal insulation. The central cavity laterally traverses into the main body through a planar mating surface and receives the tank. The hole traverses into the main body from an external surface to an internal surface and received associated plumbing of the tank. The interlocking mechanism includes a first engaging element and a second engaging element, which are used to attach the first half shell and the second half shell together.

Claim (Index 10):
The insulating shell for 2.1 gallon thermal expansion tanks for potable water systems as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:\n the first half shell and the second half shell each further comprise an at least one strap-receiving recess; \n the strap-receiving recess laterally traversing into the external surface; and \n the strap-receiving recess being radially positioned around a central axis of a half-cylindrical lateral portion.
