Atco Rubber Products 010-R8_16X5FT R8 Pipe Insulation Sleeve 16in

Product Description

The ATCO RUBBER PRODUCTS 010-R8_16X5FT is an R8-rated fiberglass pipe insulation sleeve designed for indoor HVAC applications. It combines a thick fiberglass insulation blanket with a reinforced metalized polyester vapor barrier jacket to deliver reliable thermal performance and moisture resistance. Each section is 16 inches in diameter and 5 feet long, supplied flat for straightforward field installation. The R8 thermal value makes it well suited for low-pressure supply and return ductwork where energy loss at connections and transitions must be controlled. Licensed HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This sleeve is intended for indoor HVAC system piping and ductwork insulation. The 5-foot flat sections reduce the need for in-shop or jobsite cutting compared to rolled duct wrap, which lowers overall labor time on a typical mechanical room or air-handler installation. A starter cap is included to support clean termination at open ends. The product is rated for use at temperatures from -20 degrees F up to 250 degrees F, covering the operating range of standard residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. It meets UL 181B applicable standards for duct insulation materials.

Compatibility

Designed for use on 16-inch indoor HVAC system piping and ductwork as an insulation sleeve. Consult local mechanical codes and the system manufacturer specifications to confirm suitability for a specific installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or mechanical contractors. Power down the air-handling system and relieve any system pressure before beginning insulation work on active ductwork or piping. Secure all seams and longitudinal joints with UL 181B-rated tape or mastic as required by local mechanical codes. Handle fiberglass insulation material with appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, eye protection, and a dust mask.
