Features and Benefits For insulating Exterior / Exposed duct work, we recommend our OUTDOOR DUCT INSULATION (2290-48-050AW product) below. Outdoor Duct Insulation 2290-48-050AW HEAVY DUTY COMMERCIAL / INDUSTRIAL HVAC DUCT INSULATION ALSO RECOMMENDED FOR EXTERIOR RESIDENTIAL HVAC DUCT APPLICATIONS     Outdoor Duct Insulation is comprised of two aluminum foil facings, separated by a dual layer of    polyethylene bubblepack. The reflective surfaces help reduce radiant heat transfer, while the layers of    bubblepack help insulate against conductive heat flow.     This insulation product includes a heavier foil facing on one side of the material that is installed facing   away from the duct – exposed to the elements. When used to insulate exterior HVAC duct work,    Outdoor Duct Insulation helps to reduce needless air infiltration, and increases the overall   energy efficiency of the HVAC system. When installed with an adjacent airspace, R-values of   up to R-6.0 can be achieved. FEATURES 97% Reflectivity for optimal thermal performance Reduces heat loss from metal ducts – increased efficiency! Forms an air tight seal Approved vapor barrier protection Quick, safe, and easy to install • Can add an R-6 to the insulation value of metal ducts • Designed to better withstand exposure to the elements • Reduces heat and air loss from metal ducts, increasing efficiency 10 Yr.

DID YOU KNOW ??  The key to maintaining a comfortable, energy efficient living environment in a home or building is to reduce the heat    loss in the winter and to minimize cooling loads in the summer. One way to improve the energy efficiency of a home or   building is to improve the efficiency of the duct system. Ducts are usually made from sheet metal or flexible plastic   material. A duct system circulates warm and cold air throughout a home or building.   Typical duct systems can lose 25 to 40 percent of the heating or cooling energy emitted by the central furnace, heat   pump, or air conditioner. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, leaking ducts can decrease the   overall efficiency of a homes heating and cooling system by as much as 20 percent. The typical family can save up to   $140 annually by properly sealing leaks in ducts.   Recent research funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) and CIEE through Lawrence Berkeley National   Laboratory (LBNL) found that typically, a quarter of the energy (and therefore money) used for heating and cooling   is wasted through duct system energy loss.

How to Insulate your HVAC Duct Work with
BTUFOIL ^tm REFLECTIVE / DUCT INSULATION
NEW or EXISTING H V A C DUCT WORK

IMPORTANT: Be sure that your duct work is AIR TIGHT.
Check all joints where the duct work is joined together.
Tape around each joint with our approved tape.

  Cut 2" foil strips wide x 4' long. Cut off lengths as needed. Wrap the 2" strips around the duct and secure with
  BTUFOIL ^tm approved tape # 15213 or UL181A Duct Tape as required by code, appox 12" - 16" apart as shown above.
  For a larger air space between the duct and the BTUFOIL insulation, cut & install an additional 2" foil strip over each strip 
  previously installed. This will create an air space and will keep the duct insulation from touching the duct work.

  NOTE; In extreme heat & humid conditions if may be necessary to wrap TWO layers of BTUFOIL ^tm
  insulation around any new or existing un-insulated duct work.
  This would generally apply to any duct work that is contained with any hot / humid unventilated areas.
  Duct work in well ventilated areas generally only require one layer.

EXISTING DUCT WORK

SAFETY FIRST

 You may also Re-Insulate existing HVAC Duct Work using the same procedure. Just be sure to check your duct work for air 
 leaks first. Carefully unwrap the existing insulation from the duct work. SECURE & TAPE each joint. Replace the old existing
 insulation and secure with BTUFOIL ^tm approved tape or UL181A Duct Tape as required by code. Then follow the procedures
 as above.
