Materials designed for the distribution of heated or cooled air within manufactured housing are essential for efficient climate control. These components, typically constructed from flexible or rigid insulated materials, facilitate the movement of air from the heating and cooling unit to the living spaces. Common examples include insulated flex duct, registers, connectors, and sealing tape specifically designed for this application.
Properly functioning conveyance systems within these dwellings are critical for maintaining consistent temperatures, reducing energy consumption, and ensuring healthy indoor air quality. Deficiencies in these systems can lead to significant energy loss, uneven heating and cooling, and potential issues with mold growth due to condensation. Historically, substandard materials and installation practices have been problematic, leading to the development of stricter building codes and improved product standards.
