Excellent demonstration Craig! I think that’s the name that you said. The tool to make a perfect circular cut in the ceiling was fantastic, especially for clumsy left handed people like me 😂.

@fshn76 Год назад

Love watching your videos. Always learning. Thanks for another great video!

@chesstime356 Год назад

@mattalexander8919 Год назад

Cool video. In Australia we make sure to tape the insulation lining all the way to the outlet to stop condensation.

@stevelumumba1824 Год назад

You are always the best craig and here in Africa we cut it manually

@jasonjohnsonHVAC Год назад

When i was still in resi. We would pookie the inner liner, put it on the collar, panduit strap then finish it off with venture tape. Had to hit 4% or less leakage to pass inspection.

This tool make round mark on the ceiling which is hard to clean up. Depends of paint type. I have it but use only on new constructions as on the video

@unabridgeddick6645 16 дней назад

I ordered your cards from your ebay. I work in in cape may, wildwood, ocean city, etc. It's shipping to my house in Elmer from Cape May Courthouse LMAO. I probably could have stopped and picked them up while working.

@acservicetechchannel 16 дней назад

Wow that's awesome!!!

@boruchlen 11 дней назад

Great video as usual. If I may ask, how would you do that differently in South Florida (or anywhere else with extreme heat and humidity) to stop condensation buildup on the area that was pandit strapped (over the whole duct) and the 8" section that wasn't covered in insulation at all?

@tommygun4752 Месяц назад

Wish all the people that did HVAC did it as clean as that😂

@epicsineverydaylife 7 месяцев назад

I have this setup in my home except I have discovered a leak near the connection, the inner plastic with wire was ripped, would insulated tape do the trick? or a plastic sleeve work?

@MrEightfortytwo Год назад

When does the center of the window land in the center of the two joist. Or there not be a Romex wire in the way. This is a fantasy install.

@Riomadness Год назад

You always have to make adjustments to one side or the other. It never lines up like that.

@MrEightfortytwo Год назад

@@Riomadness true. Maybe one in a whole new cut in

@markLikesSports 2 месяца назад

Great video but one problem is that the flex duct is not stretched out entirely so there may be considerable additional friction rate.

@luistapia1991 Год назад

A real man takes on that insulation with no gloves. I got itchy just by watching

@corbinanderson5718 3 месяца назад

Flex is not itchy as much as others

@aus_aircon_ref_mech6671 Год назад

Hello Craig. What us 12 5/8 heavy? I have never heard that before 😮!

@acservicetechchannel Год назад

12 5/8" heavy means that it is 1/16" longer than 12 5/8" which is actually 12 11/16" but in the US we don't really talk in 16th's in the field. We only talk in 8ths or lower fractions. 12 5/8" light would be 12 9/16". Sorry for the confusion!

@Patrioti3260 4 дня назад

You never mentioned what size hole you cut for what did duct?

@calex9398 Год назад

😮lets goooooo

@1hiphopnow 9 месяцев назад

Is 4” duct /flex allowed because I’ve yet to see anyone mentioning it but always 6”. Is a rheem furnace even capable of handling 4” duct for residential dwelling?

@brucemulford2044 3 месяца назад

Airtec has a vent that will fit 4", 5" or 6" ducts. All depends on how large your room is and how much air you need circulated. 4" ducts are common in small bathrooms. You can put any size duct extending from a trunk line.

@joshz9685 Год назад

I wish the jobs I did majority of that time had that insulation, Verses the blown in grey shit

@That_Handle Год назад

🧐🤔🤷‍♂️ 👉 How are duct-cleaning services cleaning out those flex-ducts without tearing them up?

@mobkinq Год назад

Some are metal ducts. Not all are using flex

@Riomadness Год назад

The duct cleaning company only vacuums the ducting out. They do not run anything threw them. A big fat waste of time.

@mobkinq Год назад

@@Riomadness not sure about that. I worked for an HVAC company that would stick a big rotary brush in the ducts to clean them and then sealed them to the Lowest sq in possible

@jsods1 Год назад

can you tell me what the name of the plastic pieces at 8:09? im not able to get my cover flush with ceiling. screw keeps turning. i think those things are the key. i might be missing one or they might not be on right

@BrianTullyPlus 10 месяцев назад

Same! I actually have them, but they don't turn/extend when the screw is tightened.

@eclipse369. Год назад

a grocery bag works quite well with handsaw you got a vacuum in the ceiling? why not just stick the hose through the large hole why not use vacuum while handsawing.....i mean if you got a vacuum on hand best to use it for all needs

@billsmith9249 Год назад

I usually use a paper plate with my drill when I'm drilling into anything pointed up so that debris doesn't fall into my drill shafts

@hediervarelamedina987 Год назад

The video is good, you can see what is ethical, but it strikes me that being a 4-way grill, one outlet is giving air flow towards the wall and should, in my opinion, have been further separated from the wall to take advantage of that flow properly of air that is going to hit that wall and I think that it is a lost flow compared to the other sides. For the rest, I repeat, the video is good.

@eclipse369. Год назад

he said this test build they put together was too small to get 24inch which is usually goes, 24 to edge of O.

@billsmith9249 Год назад

that is the problem I have with my 2005 home! I have circular duct work in the ceiling. It is close to the outside walls. I just put window sealing foam on the inside part of the diffusers to prevent air from being blow toward the wall and window (and behind my black out thermal curtains in all my rooms). I'm not happy with that but better than wasting energy heating and cooling the windows behind the thermal blackout curtains, lol
