Atco Rubber Products 13102416 Flex Duct 16in R-8 25ft

Product Description

The ATCO RUBBER PRODUCTS 13102416 is a silver-jacketed flexible duct rated at R-8 insulation, supplied in a 25-foot bagged length with a 16-inch diameter. It is designed for use in residential and light-commercial HVAC air distribution systems, connecting supply air plenums, boots, and diffusers to main trunk lines or air handlers. The R-8 insulation rating reduces heat gain and loss in unconditioned spaces such as attics and crawlspaces, helping maintain delivered air temperature. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet-metal contractors install this product as part of forced-air system rough-in and replacement work.

This flexible duct is suited for residential and light-commercial forced-air installations where a large-diameter run is required. The 16-inch size handles high-volume trunk feeds and large zone supply runs. Its bagged packaging keeps the assembly clean and protected prior to installation, making it practical for warehouse storage and job-site transport. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit applications in attics, basements, and mechanical rooms where flexible duct is permitted by the local mechanical code.

Key Features

• R-8 insulation value reduces thermal loss in unconditioned spaces
• 16-inch diameter accommodates high-volume air distribution runs
• 25-foot length supplied bagged for clean storage and handling
• Silver outer jacket provides durability and reflectivity
• Flexible construction allows routing around obstructions without rigid fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flexible duct for residential and light-commercial forced-air HVAC air distribution systems requiring a 16-inch diameter R-8 insulated flexible duct run.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet-metal contractor in accordance with local mechanical codes and SMACNA flexible duct installation guidelines. The air handler or furnace must be powered down and the system de-pressurized before connecting or replacing any duct section. Avoid compressing, kinking, or over-bending the flexible duct, as these conditions significantly reduce airflow and system efficiency. Secure each end with an approved clamp and seal with UL 181B-listed mastic or metal-backed tape.
