Atco 010-R6_5IN R6 Pipe Insulation Sleeve 5 Inch X 5 Foot

Product Description

The ATCO RUBBER PRODUCTS 010-R6_5IN is a fiberglass pipe insulation sleeve designed for thermal insulation of pipes in HVAC systems. It features an R6 insulation value delivered through thick fiberglass batting wrapped in a reinforced metallized polyester vapor barrier jacket. Each sleeve ships in a pre-cut 5-foot section measuring 5 inches in diameter, eliminating the need for field or shop cutting. Licensed HVAC technicians and mechanical insulation installers use this sleeve to reduce heat gain and loss on supply and return piping, keeping system efficiency in check and labor time on the low end.

The 010-R6_5IN is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where pipe insulation is required to meet energy codes or equipment manufacturer specifications. The pre-formed sleeve format fits directly over 5-inch diameter pipe, making it practical for new construction rough-ins as well as retrofit installations where minimizing job-site waste and cutting time matters. The metallized polyester jacket serves as both a vapor barrier and a durable outer surface for exposed or semi-exposed pipe runs in mechanical rooms, attic spaces, and conditioned crawlspaces.

Key Features

• R6 thermal resistance rating for effective heat loss and gain reduction
• Thick fiberglass insulation core for durable, long-term thermal efficiency
• Reinforced metallized polyester vapor barrier jacket controls moisture migration
• Pre-cut 5-foot sections reduce job-site cutting and material waste
• Designed for 5-inch diameter pipe fitment
• UL listed per applicable standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit insulation sleeve for 5-inch diameter pipe in residential and commercial HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or mechanical insulation contractors. Shut down the HVAC system and allow pipe surfaces to reach ambient temperature before applying insulation. Secure sleeve seams and butt joints with foil tape rated for HVAC insulation applications to maintain vapor barrier integrity. Local energy codes and ASHRAE standards may specify minimum insulation R-values for pipe diameter and service temperature — verify compliance before install.
