Product Description
The NASHUA 1087653 is a fiberglass scrim reinforced aluminum foil duct tape rated to UL 723, designed for sealing and joining flexible and rigid duct assemblies in HVAC installations. The fiberglass scrim backing adds tear resistance and dimensional stability, making it suitable for sealing duct seams, lap joints, and penetrations where a durable, long-lasting bond is required. Each roll measures 3 inches wide by 50 yards in length, providing substantial coverage per roll for commercial or residential duct work. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal mechanics are the primary installers for this tape in both new construction and retrofit applications.
This tape is commonly used on sheet metal ductwork, flexible duct connections, and insulated duct board in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. The UL 723 rating indicates tested flame spread and smoke development performance, making it appropriate for use in air distribution systems where code-compliant sealing materials are required. It is well suited for sealing supply and return air duct systems during installation or repair work.
Key Features
- UL 723 rated for flame spread and smoke development compliance in air duct applications
- Fiberglass scrim reinforcement provides tear resistance and added tensile strength
- Aluminum foil facing resists moisture and provides a secure, conformable seal
- 3-inch width allows efficient coverage on duct seams and lap joints
- 50-yard roll length reduces roll changes during large installations
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style foil duct tape for use on sheet metal, flexible duct, and duct board assemblies in residential and commercial HVAC air distribution systems.
Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal mechanics working on air distribution systems. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before tape application to ensure proper adhesion. Apply firm pressure along the full length of the tape using a seam roller or similar tool to eliminate air pockets and ensure full contact. Consult local mechanical codes and SMACNA guidelines for duct sealing requirements on your specific project.
