    Round flex AC pipe

    Liken I said Crawl space (yes) Flex duct(yes) and I know about the condensation problems. I just want to know if paper back insulation would work if I wrapped it in plastic? I think that is the way the old timer did it.

    Round flex AC pipe

    The insulation is lose and falling down in the crawl space. I live in Tn. I don't like the bubble insulation! And I can't find the silver wrap duct insulation around here. Can I use paper backed insulation and wrap it with plastic sheeting?
