| Wrapping your exposed ductwork
and pipes with Flexfoil can signifIcantly reduce your
heating and cooling costs by minimizing radiant
energy loss. Condensation problems caused by cold pipes
as well as radiant heat loss by hot pipes can also
be reduced. Your ducts
or pipes can be wraped in one of two ways: Lineal Wrapping
or Spiral Wrapping. |

| Instructions |
- Cut 2" spacer strips
of Flexfoil and secure them around the body of the
duct using Flexfoil reflective tape.
- By placing these
strips every 2" to 3" you
will create the air space to achieve the R value.
- Wrap
Flexfoil around the duct.
- Tape all seams with
Flexfoil reflective tape.
