Quietflex 16MR8 Insulated Pipe Sleeve R-8 16 Inch

Product Description

The QUIETFLEX 16MR8 is an insulated pipe sleeve designed to wrap and protect ductwork or piping in HVAC applications where thermal efficiency and condensation control are required. Built to an R-8 insulation value, this sleeve provides effective resistance to heat transfer, helping maintain supply-air temperatures and reducing energy loss. At 16 inches in diameter and 5 feet in length, it is sized for larger trunk lines or round duct runs. HVAC technicians and sheet metal installers use sleeves like this during new construction or retrofit installations to meet energy code requirements for duct insulation.

The 16MR8 is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC installations where large-diameter round duct sections require insulation to comply with energy codes such as IECC or local jurisdiction requirements. It is particularly useful in unconditioned spaces including attics, crawlspaces, and mechanical rooms, where ambient temperature differentials demand higher insulation ratings. The 5-foot length allows coverage of a full duct section with minimal splicing.

Key Features

• R-8 insulation value for high thermal resistance on large duct runs
• 16-inch diameter accommodates large round duct or pipe
• 5-foot length provides a full section of coverage with minimal seaming
• Sleeve-style construction allows slip-over installation on round duct
• Suitable for use in unconditioned spaces where energy code compliance is required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style insulated sleeve for 16-inch round duct or piping in residential and light commercial HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal installer. All duct insulation work should comply with applicable local energy codes and ACCA Manual standards. Seal all seams and joints with foil tape rated for duct insulation to maintain the rated R-value. Power down the air handling unit before working on connected ductwork.
