Spacer Wrapped in a Candy Cane Fashion Spacer: HVSPW02025 (Reflectix® Spiral Pipe Wrap 2” x 25’)
• Refer to the two diagrams above. • Make sure all sheet metal joints, seams and penetrations are sealed. • Wrap and secure spacer material to the duct in a candy cane fashion. Proceed down the duct in one direction with a repeat of the wrap at 12” intervals. Use UL 181 Acrylic Adhesive Foil Tape to fasten the spacer in place. • Verify the circumference of the duct with the spacer strip in place. • Cut the Reflectix® product to this length plus 1”. • Wrap the product around the duct and securely tape the linear and circumference seams (overlapping 1”- 2”) with UL 181 Acrylic Adhesive Foil Tape (goal is an air-tight, snug seam seal). • Do not leave any exposed duct or space where air can enter between the duct and the Reflectix®.
Please Note Regarding Hangers:
Strap Hanger: Wrap Reflectix® with the seam at the hanger. Tape seam tightly around hanger. Saddle
Hanger: Make sure that there is a spacer below the hanger, between the
insulation and the duct, to prevent the insulation from touching the
duct.
