D. A 2"(51 mm) piece of insulation shall be removed from the facing at the end of the piece of
insulation to form an overlapping stapling and taping flap.
E. Install duct wrap insulation with facing outside so that the stapling flap overlaps the insulation and
facing at the other end of the piece of duct wrap. Adjacent sections of duct wrap insulation shall be
tightly butted, with the 2" (51 mm) stapling and taping flap overlapping. If ducts are rectangular or
square, install so insulation is not excessively compressed at corners. Seams shall be stapled
approximately 6"(152 mm) on center, with 1/2"(13 mm) minimum, steel, outward-clinching, staples.
F. Where a vapor barrier is required, seams shall be sealed with pressure-sensitive tape matching
the insulation facing, either plain foil or foil-scrim-kraft(FSK). Seal all tears, punctures, and other
penetrations of the duct wrap facing with tape or mastic to provide a vapor-tight system.
3.03 Inspection
A. Upon completion of installation of duct wrap and before system operation is to commence, visually
inspect the system and verify that duct insulation has been correctly installed.
B. Open all system dampers and turn on fans to purge all scraps and other loose pieces of material
from the duct system. Allow for a means of removal of such material from the duct system.
C. Check the duct system to ensure that there are no air leaks through duct joints.
