Covertech Fabricating 2280-48-050 Foil Bubble Duct Wrap R8

Product Description

The COVERTECH FABRICATING 2280-48-050 is a foil-faced bubble insulation duct wrap rated at R8, designed for wrapping rectangular and round ductwork in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Constructed from polyethylene with a reflective foil facing, this wrap delivers thermal resistance across a wide temperature range of -50 to 180 degrees F. The roll measures 48 inches wide and 50 feet long, providing substantial coverage per roll. No foam corner spacers are required during installation, simplifying the workflow for HVAC technicians working on duct systems in attics, crawlspaces, and unconditioned spaces.

This duct wrap is suited for insulating supply and return air ducts in residential and light commercial applications where R8 insulation is required by energy codes. It is commonly installed on flex duct, sheet metal duct, and fiberboard duct systems located in unconditioned areas such as attics, garages, and vented crawlspaces. The 48-inch width accommodates larger trunk lines and rectangular ducts without requiring multiple overlapping passes on wider duct sections.

Key Features

• R8 thermal resistance rating suitable for attic and crawlspace duct insulation requirements
• Wide 48-inch roll width covers large-diameter round and rectangular ductwork efficiently
• 50-foot roll length provides substantial coverage per unit
• Polyethylene construction with reflective foil facing for thermal and radiant heat control
• No foam corner spacers required, reducing material cost and installation time
• Rated for use from -50 to 180 degrees F, suitable for extreme attic temperature environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation duct wrap for residential and light commercial HVAC ductwork requiring R8 insulation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal contractors. The HVAC system should be shut down and the air handler powered off before working on ductwork. Seams and edges should be secured with foil-faced tape meeting applicable energy code requirements, such as those referenced in IECC or ASHRAE 90.1, to maintain the rated R-value. Avoid compressing the bubble layer during wrapping, as compression reduces effective thermal resistance.
