ICC-ES AC263
Full Name
ICC-ES AC263 – Acceptance Criteria for Prefabricated Duct Fitting Insulation Manufactured from Molded, Expanded Polystyrene Foam Plastic
Scope
ICC-ES AC263 outlines the acceptance criteria for prefabricated duct fitting insulation manufactured from molded, expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam plastic. It covers aspects such as:
- Materials and construction: specifies acceptable materials (EPS foam) and construction methods for duct fitting insulation to ensure thermal performance and durability.
- Thermal performance requirements: defines the thermal resistance (R-value) requirements for the insulation, ensuring it meets energy efficiency standards.
- Testing procedures: details the testing procedures for evaluating the insulation’s thermal performance, including R-value testing and aging tests.
- Installation guidelines: provides guidelines for the proper installation of the insulation to ensure its optimal thermal performance and prevent air leakage.
