What is Zip-Ez and how does it work?

Zip-Ez is a patented, one-handed insulation fastener for HVAC duct wrap, reflective insulation, foam board, and FSK insulation. Slip it over any screw, drive it with a battery drill, and it mechanically secures insulation permanently — no tape, no staples, no special tools required.

Does Zip-Ez cause air leakage in ductwork?

No. Zip-Ez fasteners have been independently tested by a BPI-certified HERS Rater using a Minneapolis Duct Blaster at 25Pa, 50Pa, and 100Pa. Zero measured or visible air leakage was detected at any fastener penetration point. The coarse screw threads are self-sealing — no additional sealant is required.

What is the Lineset Box used for?

The Lineset Box is a patented rough-in box designed for HVAC line set penetrations. It provides a clean, professional termination point for refrigerant lines, control wiring, and condensation drains. It protects copper line sets from kinking during construction and gives every install a finished, architecturally pleasing look.

Where can I buy Zip-Ez and Lineset Box products?

Zip-Ez and Lineset Box products are available through HVAC wholesale distributors nationwide including Ferguson, Sid Harvey Supply, RE Michaels, and Gensco, as well as on Amazon. Use our distributor locator at jtproducts.com to find a stocking location near you.

Is the Lineset Box made from UL-listed material?

Yes. The Lineset Box is constructed from UL-recognized polypropylene under UL File E130336. The material is UL 94 HB rated for flame resistance. UL Yellow Cards documenting the material certification are available for download on our website.

What colors does the Lineset Box come in?

The Lineset Box is available in two colors: black and white. Both match common exterior finishes for a clean, professional appearance.

Is Zip-Ez GreenSpec listed?

Yes. Zip-Ez Insulation Fasteners are listed in the GreenSpec sustainable product directory, which may contribute to LEED points on commercial and green building projects.

How many Zip-Ez fasteners come in a bag?

Each bag contains approximately 250 Zip-Ez fasteners. Screws are not included — use any standard screw you already have on the job.

▶Weathertight Termination Point — Seals the wall penetration against air, moisture, and pests better than foam alone. Clean, architecturally pleasing finish for line set, low voltage control wiring, and condensation drain.
▶Fast, Simple Installation — No special tools required. Any installer can do it in minutes. Available in white and black. Constructed from UL-recognized polypropylene (UL File E130336, UL 94 HB rated). Built to last the life of the system.

Attention: Rigid Foam Board Contractors

Stop Fighting Tape &
Start Using the Right Fastener

If your crews are still using tape, tie-wire, or stick pins to secure rigid foam board insulation on duct systems — you're leaving money, time, and call-backs on the table. Zip-Ez™ was built for exactly this application.

❌ The Old Way

✕ Tape that loses adhesion in heat — and falls off in cold. Call-backs eat your profit.
✕ Contact cement & adhesive that softens and fails in heat — leaving foam board sagging or falling off entirely. Messy to apply, slow to cure, and a health hazard in enclosed spaces.
✕ Weld pins and adhesive-base hangers that require special welding guns or adhesive — and whose adhesive backing degrades in heat, letting foam board work loose over time. More equipment, more steps, more callbacks.
✕ Hours of installation time wasted per job — fighting materials that weren't designed for this.
✕ No certifications, no LEED credits, no peace of mind that the job will hold.

✅ The Zip-Ez™ Way

▶ One fastener. One hand. One drill. Secure rigid foam board insulation in seconds — permanently.
▶ Mechanically secured with a standard sheet metal screw — won't loosen in extreme heat or cold. Ever.
▶ Works on every surface — rectangular, round, and spiral duct. Corners, edges, seams. All of it.
▶ Save hours per job. Your crew moves faster, your jobs finish cleaner, your customers call back less.
▶ GreenSpec Listed & LEED-Compatible. Meets every code your project requires.

Zip-Ez™ Is the Go-To Fastener for:

HVAC Mechanical Contractors Rigid Foam Board Installers Commercial HVAC Crews Residential A/C Installers Sheet Metal Shops Green Building Contractors LEED Project Teams

▶ 1 Fastener Per Foot — that's all it takes for a permanent hold.
▶ 0 Special Tools Needed — just your battery drill and a sheet metal screw.
▶ ~250 Pieces Per Bag — compact, easy to carry, ready to work.
▶ 25+ Years Proven in the Field — trusted by contractors nationwide since day one.

"No more bloody fingers and bludgeoned hands. Zip-Ez™ fasteners are the fastest, easiest way to permanently attach duct wrap and rigid foam board insulation. Just one per foot — it's really that simple."

— AHR Expo, Javits Center, New York City · World's Largest HVAC&R Exhibition
