Insulation Thickness for Condensation Control
Duct insulation thickness must prevent condensation on cold surfaces. Wrong thickness causes moisture problems.
Stop if
- What insulation thickness does spec require for condensation control? Is vapor barrier required with this insulation?
Watch out
- Don't install without vapor barrier in conditioned spaces. Don't use wrong tape type. Don't leave gaps or tears unrepaired.
Check
- What insulation thickness does spec require?
- What's design dew point?
- Is insulation continuous with no gaps?
Steps
- What insulation thickness does spec require?
- What's design dew point?
- Is insulation continuous with no gaps?
