Atco Rubber Products 010-R8_5X5FT R8 Pipe Insulation Sleeve 5in X 5ft

Product Description

The ATCO RUBBER PRODUCTS 010-R8_5X5FT is a flat fiberglass pipe insulation sleeve designed for indoor HVAC system applications. Constructed with a thick fiberglass insulation blanket core and a reinforced metalized polyester vapor barrier jacket, this sleeve delivers an R8 thermal resistance rating. It ships in 5-foot sections, eliminating field or shop cutting during installation. The sleeve fits 5-inch pipe and is rated for temperatures ranging from -20 degrees F to 250 degrees F. It meets UL 181B standards and includes a starter cap. Licensed HVAC technicians and mechanical contractors install this product on HVAC piping to reduce heat transfer and control condensation.

This insulation sleeve is suited for indoor residential and light commercial HVAC installations where pipe insulation is required to maintain thermal efficiency and vapor control. The 5-foot section length reduces labor time compared to cutting and fitting duct wrap material, making it a practical choice on new construction and retrofit piping runs. It is applied directly over 5-inch round pipe in duct and mechanical systems. The starter cap inclusion supports a complete, sealed installation from the first joint.

Key Features

• R8 thermal resistance rating for effective heat loss and gain control
• Fiberglass insulation blanket core provides durable, long-term thermal performance
• Reinforced metalized polyester vapor barrier jacket controls moisture and condensation
• Pre-cut 5-foot sections reduce jobsite and in-shop cutting labor
• Starter cap included for complete, sealed installation
• Meets UL 181B applicable standard for HVAC duct and pipe insulation systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation sleeve for 5-inch indoor HVAC system piping requiring R8 insulation with an integrated vapor barrier jacket.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC or mechanical contractors in accordance with applicable mechanical codes, including IMC and SMACNA guidelines for pipe insulation. Power down and de-energize the HVAC system before beginning work on any associated piping. Ensure pipe surfaces are clean and dry before fitting the sleeve to maintain vapor barrier integrity at all seams and joints. Seal all longitudinal and butt joints with approved foil tape or mastic as required by local code.
