Duct Liner

Uses and Applications

AP Armaflex SA Black Duct Liner / Wrap is ideal for air handling systems, VAV units, ducts and other air system components requiring condensation control, resistance to moisture, damage or heat gain; or HVAC noise blocking or sound dampening. Application areas include schools, hospitals, hotels, commercial and public buildings.

Installation

Note: Must be installed according to “Installation of Armaflex Insulations” publication (000-005).

When air stream velocities exceed 4,000 FPM (20.3m/second), metal nosing should be applied to every leading edge. Nosing may be formed on ducts or be channeled or zee-attached by screws, rivets or welds.

The temperature of the air and of the insulation should be between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C) at the time of installation.

Prepare surface by cleaning with appropriate cleaner. Measure.

Cut with sharp knife. Peel back enough release liner to start.

Square off sheet along an edge or corner. Press the sheet to the surface taking care not to trap any air.

Reach behind the Armaflex sheet and peel liner back while pressing the sheet to the surface.

Press firmly. Butt joints require the use of compression joints to prevent the possible opening of seams.

Notes

➀AP/Armaflex SA Duct Liner has a flame spread index of less than 25 and a smoke developed index of less than 50 for all thicknesses up to and including 1˝ (25 mm) when tested according to ASTM E 84 and CAN ULC S-102. Numerical flammability ratings alone may not define the performance of products under actual fire conditions. They are provided only for use in the selection of products to meet limits specified.

➁ Withstands temperature of 250°F (121°C) when tested according to ASTM C 411. “Test Method for Surface Performance of High- Temperature Insulations”. At this temperature, AP/Armaflex SA Duct Liner insulation shows no evidence of flaming, glowing, smoldering, delamination, melting or insulation collapse. Although this insulation will withstand high temperatures, continuous use temperature should be limited to 180°F (82°C).

➂ At temperatures below -20°F (-29°C) elastomeric insulation starts to become less flexible. However, this characteristic does not affect thermal efficiency or water vapor permeability of Armaflex insulation.

➃ Reference Only Performance approved through continuing supervision by Factory Mutual Approval.

AP Armaflex Pipe (Tube) Insulation

Uses

• Retards heat gain and controls condensation drip from chilled-water and refrigeration systems. Efficiently reduces heat flow for hot-water plumbing, liquid-heating and dual-temperature piping

• Acceptable in wall thicknesses through 1-1/2˝ (38mm) for use in air plenums and conforms to NFPA 90A and NFPA 90B requirements

The recommended temperature usage range for AP Armaflex Pipe Insulation is -297°F to +220°F (-183°C to +105°C). For use on cold pipes, thicknesses have been calculated to control condensation on the insulation outer surface, as shown in the table of thickness recommendations. AP Armaflex meets the energy code requirements of ASHRAE 90.1, ASHRAE 90.2 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and other building codes.

Application

AP Armaflex Pipe Insulation in unslit tubular form can be slipped onto piping before it is connected, or it can be slit lengthwise and snapped over piping already connected. Fitting covers are fabricated from miter-cut tubular form. In all cases, butt joints and seams are to be sealed with one of our Armaflex adhesives: Armaflex 520, 520 Black or, where a low V.O.C. adhesive is required, 520 BLV. 520 Adhesives are contact adhesives; therefore, in all cases, both surfaces to be joined are coated with adhesive.

For pipes greater than 6˝ IPS, use AP/Armaflex Sheet/Roll insulation. For thicknesses greater than 1˝, sleeve the insulation. See technical bulletin #030 for additional information. AP/Armaflex pipe insulation is available in 1-1/2˝ wall thicknesses with 25/50 rating for ID size range from 7/8˝ to 4˝ IPS.

AP Armaflex normally requires no supplemental vapor-retarder protection but additional vapor-retarder protection may be necessary when installed on very-low-temperature piping or exposure to continually high humidity conditions.

AP Armaflex is designed for installation above or below ground. For below ground applications, contact Armacell or see our Technical Bulletin No. 7 on our website, www. armacell.com.Outdoors, a weather-resistant protective finish is to be applied and Armaflex WB Finish is recommended.

Armaflex insulation products must be installed according to “Installation of Armaflex Insulations” brochure. Proper installation is required to assure Armaflex insulation performance.

**BASED ON MILD DESIGN CONDITIONS AP Armaflex in the thicknesses noted and within the specified temperature ranges will control outer insulation surface condensation indoors under mild design conditions, a maximum severity of 80°F (27°C) and 50% RH. Typical of these conditions are most air-conditioned spaces and arid climates.

***BASED ON SEVERE DESIGN CONDITIONS AP Armaflex in the thicknesses noted and within the specified temperature ranges will control outer insulation surface condensation indoors under severe design conditions, a maximum severity of 90°F (32°C) and 80% RH. Typical of these conditions are indoor areas in which excessive moisture is introduced or in poorly ventilated confined areas where the temperature may be depressed below ambient.
