Safe-T-Cover

Safe-T-Cover is a privately owned manufacturer that has built aluminum equipment enclosures in Nashville, Tennessee, since 1988. The company makes protective covers for above-ground water system components, including backflow preventers, control valves, and pumps. These covers help contractors shield exposed equipment from freezing temperatures, vandalism, and heavy sun exposure.

Enclosures are built from marine-grade aluminum finished with a PAC-CLAD Kynar coating. They are insulated with R-9 polyisocyanurate wall panels and R-18 roof panels. Sustainably harvested redwood structural bracing reinforces the enclosure. Safe-T-Cover enclosures carry ASSE 1060 certification, the standard covering insulation and heating performance for backflow preventer enclosures. The company counts more than 100 municipalities among its customers.

Product Lines

Safe-T-Cover's core lineup covers five enclosure types. Backflow enclosures are built for RPZ and DCV assemblies. Large enclosures are sized for bigger equipment footprints. Pump enclosures serve booster and irrigation pump stations. Standard enclosures provide general above-ground valve protection. Water meter enclosures complete the lineup. Beyond the standard catalog, the company also builds custom enclosures. It offers add-on features such as heaters, fans, and dampers for jobs that call for active climate control inside the housing. Fire-rated options are available for installations near combustible materials.

Why Contractors Specify Safe-T-Cover

Contractors installing backflow preventers and other above-ground water equipment specify Safe-T-Cover because the enclosures carry ASSE 1060 certification. The redwood-reinforced aluminum shell and dual-value insulation, R-9 walls and R-18 roof, hold up in climates that see hard freezes. That helps a contractor avoid callbacks over a cracked or frozen backflow assembly months after a job is closed out.

How to Choose Safe-T-Cover Products

Start with what the enclosure needs to protect. A standard enclosure suits a single valve assembly, while a large enclosure or a pump enclosure fits bigger equipment such as booster pump stations. For sites where freeze protection matters most, add the heater option. Where equipment sits in direct sun for long stretches, a fan-equipped option helps keep internal temperatures manageable. Municipal or fire-code-sensitive installations may call for the fire-rated version. Because Safe-T-Cover builds custom enclosures alongside its standard lineup, an unusual equipment footprint doesn't rule the brand out. Check the standard sizes first, then look at a custom option if nothing in the catalog fits.
