Abstract
An insulation assembly is provided. The insulation assembly includes a three-sided insulation envelope configured to form a cavity. The cavity is configured to receive a section of uninsulated, existing ductwork. The three-sided insulation envelope forms an opening. An insulation cap is configured to seat against the three-sided insulation envelope thereby encapsulating the uninsulated, existing ductwork and sealing the opening.
Claims18
An insulation assembly comprising:
- a three-sided insulation envelope configured to form a cavity, the cavity configured to receive a section of uninsulated, existing duct work, the three-sided insulation envelope forming an opening;
- and a discrete insulation cap, separate and apart from the three-sided insulation envelope is configured to seat against the three-sided insulation envelope thereby encapsulating the uninsulated, existing ductwork and sealing the opening;
- wherein the three-sided insulation envelope is formed from a folded duct board.
A method of using an insulation assembly comprising the steps of:
- forming a cavity with a three-sided insulation envelope, the cavity configured to receive a section of uninsulated, existing duct work, the three-sided insulation envelope forming an opening;
- and seating a discrete insulation cap, separate and apart from the three-sided insulation envelope against the three-sided insulation envelope, thereby encapsulating the uninsulated, existing ductwork and sealing the opening;
- and including the step of forming the three-sided insulation envelope from a folded duct board.
An insulation assembly comprising:
- a first three-sided insulation envelope configured to form a first cavity, the first cavity configured to receive a first section of uninsulated, existing duct work, the first three-sided insulation envelope forming a first opening;
- a second three-sided insulation envelope configured to form a second cavity, the second cavity configured to receive a second section of uninsulated, existing duct work, the second three-sided insulation envelope forming a second opening, the second three-sided insulation envelope seated against the first three-sided insulation envelope;
- a first strip configured to cover a first joint between the first three-sided insulation envelope and the second three-sided envelope;
- and
- a second strip configured to cover a second joint between the first three-sided insulation envelope and the second three-sided envelope.
