Quietflex 16MR6 Silver Sleeve Duct Insulation R-6.0

Product Description

The QUIETFLEX 16MR6 is a silver sleeve flexible duct insulation product rated at R-6.0 thermal resistance, designed for use in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems. Each box contains 50 feet of insulation sleeve in 16-inch diameter, supplied in 10 individual 5-foot pieces. This product wraps around flexible or rigid ductwork to reduce heat gain and heat loss, helping maintain conditioned air temperatures between the air handler and the supply registers. It is installed by HVAC technicians during new construction or duct retrofit projects.

The 16MR6 is suited for applications requiring a 16-inch duct diameter with a minimum R-6.0 insulation value, which meets common energy code requirements for supply and return duct insulation in conditioned and semi-conditioned spaces such as attics, crawlspaces, and mechanical rooms. The 50-foot per box quantity allows for efficient coverage on longer duct runs without excessive waste on standard residential installations.

Key Features

• R-6.0 thermal resistance rating for energy code compliance on supply and return ducts
• 16-inch diameter fits standard large-trunk flexible and rigid duct configurations
• 50 feet per box supplied as 10 pieces at 5 feet each for manageable handling on the job
• Silver sleeve exterior provides a vapor-retarding outer jacket
• Designed for attic, crawlspace, and mechanical room duct insulation applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sleeve insulation for 16-inch diameter flexible and rigid HVAC ductwork in residential and light commercial systems requiring R-6.0 insulation performance.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians. Power down the air handling unit and confirm the system is not pressurized before working on duct sections. Slide the sleeve over the duct and secure ends with approved tape or mechanical fasteners per local mechanical code requirements. Verify that installed R-value meets the minimum insulation requirements specified by local energy codes such as IECC before closing inspections.
