Atco Rubber Products 11000608 Metalized Duct Sleeve R-6 8in X 5ft

Product Description

The ATCO RUBBER PRODUCTS 11000608 is an R-6 insulated metalized flexible duct sleeve designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC distribution systems. Measuring 8 inches in diameter and 5 feet in length, this sleeve provides a pre-insulated, reflective outer jacket around flexible duct connections and runouts. It is used to maintain thermal efficiency between supply air equipment and distribution points, limiting heat gain or loss in unconditioned spaces such as attics, crawlspaces, and mechanical rooms. HVAC installation technicians and sheet metal contractors are the primary trades that size, cut, and install this product during system commissioning or retrofit work.

This sleeve is suited for residential forced-air systems and light commercial HVAC applications where insulated flexible duct connections are required in unconditioned or semi-conditioned spaces. The R-6 insulation rating makes it appropriate for attic installations and other areas with significant ambient temperature differentials. It is commonly installed as a transition sleeve over flexible duct sections or as an insulated connector between rigid trunk lines and diffusers or grilles.

Key Features

• R-6 insulation rating for effective thermal resistance in unconditioned spaces
• 8-inch diameter accommodates standard residential and light commercial duct sizing
• 5-foot length provides a ready-to-install sleeve without field cutting for typical runout distances
• Metalized outer jacket reflects radiant heat and provides a durable exterior surface
• Flexible construction allows routing around obstructions during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit sleeve for 8-inch flexible duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal contractor in accordance with applicable mechanical codes. Power down and lock out the air handling unit before accessing duct connections in the system. Secure sleeve ends with approved duct strapping or draw bands and seal all connections with listed duct mastic or foil tape per local mechanical code requirements. Avoid compressing or kinking the sleeve, as this reduces both airflow and effective insulation performance.
