ABSTRACT:
An insulated flexible air duct comprises a flexible cylindrical core; a layer of fibrous insulation blanket surrounding the flexible core and comprising a strip of fibrous blanket helically wrapped about the flexible core with lateral portions of successive convolutions of the insulation strip overlapping so that the air duct can be flexed without forming a gap between the successive convolutions of the insulation strip; and a vapor barrier jacket comprising a strip of plastic jacket film helically wrapped about the layer of fibrous insulation. The insulated, flexible air duct is formed in one continuous operation. As the flexible core is formed it is rotated about its longitudinal axis. The rotating core is fed in an axial direction through an insulation wrapping station and a vapor barrier jacket wrapping station where the fibrous insulation strip is wrapped about the core and the vapor barrier strip is helically wrapped about the insulation to form the air duct.
