Atco 010-R8_9IN R8 Pipe Insulation Sleeve 9 Inch X 5 Ft

Product Description

The ATCO RUBBER PRODUCTS 010-R8_9IN is a fiberglass pipe insulation sleeve designed for thermal management of round ductwork and piping in HVAC systems. The sleeve measures 9 inches in diameter by 5 feet in length and delivers an R-8 thermal resistance value. The outer jacket is constructed from reinforced metallized polyester, functioning as a vapor barrier to limit moisture intrusion and condensation. Pre-formed 5-foot sections reduce the need for field cutting, lowering labor time on both shop fabrication and job-site installation. HVAC technicians and insulation contractors install this sleeve over round duct runs, plenums, and mechanical piping where code-compliant thermal performance is required.

This insulation sleeve is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC applications where round duct or pipe runs require R-8 rated coverage. The 9-inch diameter fits standard 9-inch round duct sections commonly found in supply and return air distribution systems. The pre-cut 5-foot length is sized to match standard duct segment lengths, allowing installers to slip the sleeve over the duct without additional trimming in most typical installations. The reinforced vapor barrier jacket is appropriate for both conditioned and unconditioned space installations, including attics, crawlspaces, and mechanical rooms.

Key Features

• R-8 thermal resistance rating for code-compliant duct insulation in many residential and commercial applications
• Fiberglass insulation core provides stable, long-term thermal efficiency
• Reinforced metallized polyester vapor barrier jacket resists moisture and condensation
• Pre-formed 5-foot sections reduce field cutting and lower labor cost compared to duct wrap
• 9-inch diameter fits standard round duct and pipe without modification in most applications
• UL listed to applicable standards

Compatibility

Designed for use on HVAC system round duct and piping with a 9-inch outside diameter where R-8 insulation is specified.

Installation Notes

Licensed HVAC technicians and insulation contractors typically install this sleeve as part of duct system assembly or retrofit insulation work. Power down the air handling system before working on duct runs. Secure sleeve seams with approved foil tape or mechanical fasteners per local mechanical code requirements, referencing SMACNA guidelines or applicable jurisdiction standards. Do not compress the fiberglass insulation during installation, as compression reduces the effective R-value.
