Probably the best Ryan’s ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
Would it make sense to shoot some foam into it so that it actually becomes air sealed? I’m sure bugs can still get through the small gaps between the various pipes, right?
Great products, but have a look at 05.30 It looks as if the rubber cover of the Titan outlet is bent in a way that it opens gaps to both sides. I also agree to Pavel, that the space betwen the pipes is problematic.
I want to thank you for bringing this video to us. I reached out to them because I couldn't find it on the website when you made this video. They were very nice and got back with me and even sent me a free one! I have never liked what I have for protection of my HVAC line and wanted to put one like you did at your house but I didn't have a new build so when this came out I was so ecstatic to see it. I have a very small youtube channel dealing with DIY home renovation and other projects and I plan on making a video about it (non sponsored) and they were happy I was doing it. So thank you so much.
Matt You made the statement Freon lines, Freon is a registered trademark of the Chemours Company and is thrown about the various trades. The best nomenclature is to use the Term; Refrigerant Line Set. Nice looking product to provide protection to the line set and to provide weather proofing and penetration seal at the entry point.
@@buildshowyour link did not take us to the product on the company website. And after looking all over their website the company does not have this advertised. It would be great to see a link here where we can buy it directly.
America and particularly in the south is in a drought. It'd be neat for you to do a collaboration with the forest service to teach firewise building construction so embers can't be sucked into the HVAC and compromise that home from the inside with fire as well as fire safe landscaping.
@@buildshow i did find this specific product is sold at home depot but not my local one. I just have to order it which is not a big deal. My original comment and frustration is more the general market of home products. You either have the big box store with questionable quality, or the top end products like hou highlight but as a homeowner i have to jumo through hoops just to get pricing let alone actually buy it. If companies want to sell products why make it unnecessarily difficult to buy them?
@@95dodgev10 How did you find it at Home Depot? I haven't seen a model number on this yet. And I can't even figure out what it's officialy called. Titan Retrofit or Titan Retro-Fit or Titan Outlet Retrofit, etc.
@@95dodgev10 Not sure if you're aware, but you can just setup an account at your local HVAC supply and get anything you need there as a homeowner. Much better selection and way cheaper prices than the big box stores.
super nifty and informative video, Matt! i need 3.5 ton hvac replacement. definitely putting this onto the list. this is a no-brainer. north texas got random rodents that roam around.
This is cool and I can see it's use particularly where direct sun is hitting older insulation. Newer insulation is UV resistant, the white covered type that comes on new line sets. Has anyone seen something like this wrap that also provides insulation value, not just UV protection?
You have no idea how long I have been looking for this . However, at timehack 3:45, you show that being installed and there is a plate with drip cap/edge that is already in place on the siding the device is being mounted to. It looks as if you even show them in 3:53 with the two boxes mounted on the house Can you provide any information as to where that might be found. Love your channel - happy I have found.
Is their an Airex product for multizone systems? I am looking for a retrofit solution to flash a 4 zone multizone system. My HVAC tech neglected to flash the penetration before hooking up the ODU. The penetration is an ~8x3 rectangle with 4 line sets exiting a crawl space. Open to suggestions...
Do you know when this will be available? It tried the website listed for a residing that we are currently doing. This would be great, but even on the website the retro option couldn’t be found.
I’ve wondered for a long time now why there wasn’t a solution like this. Even called them and asked… glad they’ve made one now - but I can’t find it on their site, or for purchase anywhere. Anyone have a link? Update: call them directly! They sent me one since it’s not yet available for purchase!
Nice! -- QUESTION -- I always wondered why they didn't use a "heat shrink wrap" like they use on electrical terminations - just use a hairdryer type heat source and the plastic melt and creates a water tight end connection on wires. Could be used on this too and would actually be a better solution. Bug free, water tight.
Interesting idea! I wonder if those break down with UV and that’s a big reason it’s not used. The Airex covers are PVC (think flat roofing material) that can go decades in the sun.
@@buildshow ...ah, go figure. Of course they thought of it and it doesn't work.. Sure looked like a possible idea but that damn UV... I always forget about the UV>>>
They also have "cold shrink" tubing. It comes with a plastic form inside that's in a spiral, when you remove it, it shrinks down to the diameter of the pipes or cables.
That’s my favorite comment of the month! Yes. Details matter. Craftsmanship and care mean that we can take pride in our work. We can build homes thoughtfully that will last for 100+ years without issues. The technology isn’t complex. The knowledge is available. For the future of our country, and for our children’s future we must Build with a higher standard!
It's been said Matt the end. By the air? Conditioner. Is? Still open. We gotta seal that up. Why didn't you not show that you surely don't think we're all blind do you?
Unless you’re a Native American Indian I don’t think you can claim being a “real American”. My grandparents immigrated from Romania and loved this country. We have built this nation as a melting pot. Don’t judge people by skin color. American is an amazing country because of immigrants.
Anyone with a US birth certificate or who has become a US citizen is a real American. I'm highlighting the issue we are facing with illegal immigration and "insourcing" which believe it or not is a bad thing despite cheap labor. Not only are they not contributing to the system, if and when those workers get hurt, they are screwed.
This is dumb 0:46 spray foam with either duct seal or slim duct is more than sufficient. HVAC technicians don’t leave a “rat” sized hole open in the side of a house.
My grandparents were Romanian immigrants. The most pro-America Americans you’ll ever meet. This country is built on immigrants. Unless you’re a Native American you’re from somewhere else.
@@buildshow exactly my point! The whole "made in wherever" ISA load of rubbish. I'm Italian-Polish-English-Irish (none above 50%) living in the UK, another "melting pot" country. Diversity of background and experience leads to far superior solutions and this should be the big selling point! Not "Made in America" or "Made in Britain".
Absolutely love the difficulty of clicking on the site and being met with everything but price and purchasing options.
This channel is like Costo. I never knew it existed, and now, I want it
Wow! What super genius came up the groundbreaking idea to split the original penetration box? I'm in awe!

I use clear silicone on my installs.
Use the stuff rodents don’t like to chew through. Also, I’ll be filling the end with white big stretch for aesthetics.
I think the bending issue at 5:30 might be overcome by sliding the clamp all the way back closer to the housing.
Just had mine delivered today. Done so many of the “risinger” upgradesto my own properties as well as a few others i’ve worked on.

Hey Matt, can you provide a link for this specific product, I can’t find it on their website. Thanks.
Same, only shows the old product which is for new installs.
This is brand new to the market. Ask your supplier to bring it in. They are making them on a 24hr shift so it’s being shipped now.
Saw this a couple years ago on your channel and had it installed with a new AC system. Waayyy better than the old methods in every way.
Yep! Used the original model on my house. Super excited to see a retrofit model now!
@@buildshowyour link did not take us to the product on the company website. And after looking all over their website the company does not have this advertised. It would be great to see a link here where we can buy it directly.
I only see TGS and TSS on their website, no TRS. Maybe they haven't updated it yet?
This is a great option, thanks for sharing!
Holy crap! Matt bringing us a new product and doing work? Say it ain't so!
😂Thanks for your support!

Look like good products. Now imagine a world where products like this could just be bought direct from the website. Wouldn't that be something.
Agree. Hopefully soon. Meanwhile they can be bought at your hvac supply house. Ask your supplier to stock this brand new model to the market.

How is the PVC opening near the unit sealed? A bug or mouse would love to sneak inside the house using that route...

For a new build, would you recommend Airex boot or the quickflash u-c panel flashing?
can this cover go onto brick?
My first question. How many years of wanton weed whacking is this rated to withstand?
Do you know when this will be available? It tried the website listed for a residing that we are currently doing. This would be great, but even on the website the retro option couldn’t be found.
Has the retrofit product been discontinued? I cannot find it anywhere but am very interested!

I don't see this product on the company weblink you provided. They are all new construction. Am I missing it somehow?
cannot find the AIREX RETROFIT solution on their website - no references to part numbers. Who sells the retrofit solution - any links would be helpful
Where can I buy this retrofit model at? I have been looking everywhere
I dont even see this available yet on their website.

Use UV rated zip ties too
Can this outlet be use for rooftop penetration as oppose to side of the building?
The hole is facing upward so no man
do you edit your own video??
Nice to see I'm not the only one who waits to change the drill direction until after discovering it's running the wrong direction ...
Looks like a Pulp Fiction gimp suit for your AC lines🤣🤣😍
Man I tried to get my architect to describe how linesets cleanly get into and route through a floorplan. Guy just scoffed.
It’s all about the details. That’s what I love about Matt, they’re on top of the details in the Build Show network.

Why is rough pricing never mentioned on here???
Can’t seem to see the retrofit anywhere on their site or at any supply houses.
This is brand new to the market. Ask your supplier to bring these in for you. They are making them on a 24 hr shift and should be stocked soon.
Nice
I can’t find these anywhere. They don’t even mention them on their website anywhere. I’m convinced you cut one. Heh
@4:37 where are her gloves?!
Does it meet LEED standards?
Then you find out you have a small slower leak.....gotta take all of that off have fun......
Hvac installers will have never heard of it, or legacy version. So just tell them ..dont ask
Notice NO WHERE on this site does it mention $$$$PRICE!!!
Pvc deteriorates from UV as well, so….
Love the product idea but Lists for $295. Hmmm

Just a sales pitch and expensive one at that.
0:02 so high pitch, you gotta give a volume warning, had to take my headphones off.
Could have spent about 1 more minute and not make it look like garbage.
😬 agree 😬 I actually pulled it off after filming and had the hvac tech behind the camera Re-do it.
