Here's what you need to know to select the right product for your HVAC application.
With dozens of options in HVAC tapes, determining which one is right for your job is critical. It’s important to consider factors like UL Listings, the type of surface the tape must adhere to, and whether the tape has the strength and longevity to hold throughout the system’s life span.
The first consideration in tape selection is backing. Most HVAC applications necessitate a tape with a foil or film backing, although there are some cloth duct tapes which are robust enough to be used in HVAC applications. Both are designed to provide full system closure – meaning the system is free of air leaks – and are durable and robust enough for the life of the system.
