How should friction fit insulation be installed?

The insulation must be tightly fit to prevent convection.
It must be placed in the inner third of the wall.
It must only fill two thirds of the wall cavity.
Only install tight enough to fill the gaps and hold itself in place.

The correct answer is: Only install tight enough to fill the gaps and hold itself in place.

Friction fit insulation should be installed tightly enough to fill the gaps and hold itself in place. Option A is incorrect because while a snug fit is important, it is not necessary to completely prevent convection. Option B is incorrect because insulation should be distributed evenly throughout the wall, not just in the inner third. Option C is incorrect because leaving one third of the wall cavity empty can result in air gaps and reduced effectiveness of the insulation. Therefore, option D is the most appropriate and effective way to install friction fit insulation.
