Why would you mastic the interliner of the flex ductwork. I’ve done multiple houses with no leaks. If you mastic the tab collar correctly there is no need to tape your collar either. It will pass a test everytime with no problems. Huge waste of time.
alvstar t gotta love the majority of new construction putting their shit in the attic. I’m at a company that does purely residential retrofit. Here’s a one in a million for you though. I had a retrofit on a new construction for an A/C add-on, and the property had a massive grade in the middle. The house didn’t have a ladder for the crawl access which was located inside, so we had to use an 8’ ladder. The furnace was in a closet. My dream came true and abruptly ended once that job was done.
No tape on collars? I usually tape the collar down, put some 181 on the collar base and neck, slip the core over, and then more 181 on the outside, before pulling the rolled insulation and outer layer over and tieing it in, more tape, more mastic, and down here in FL we usually spring for the pre-insulated boots.
lol, where is all this code at? I've never seen nobody follow all these rules! Get everyone to follow these and homes will be much better! quality control seems to be at an all-time low. They seem to be more focused on production.
In my home in California I just found out that they never ran duct work from the unit to the return air vent in my house,they just used the walls as the return air side. So this will help me do it myself
Pretty common. One of my returns is like that, but I don't plan on doing anything about. My house was built in the 80's so it would be an undertaking in making this house more efficient.
I guess don’t come to Phoenix AZ lol. That’s a very nice job for here. I don’t think a screw hole with a screw in it will leak much air. And it could always be sealed up too.
Wow I never see this quality work at my job we need everyone to watch this video at work asap
Hell no
thanks for sharing, great vids, lot of very important for installations.

exactly these guys be trippin
I am a robot. I use mastic on all ducts. I do heating and air then talk like a robot on RUclips.
Well of course it will be done right the first time😂 look how open his space was😂😂:08
Good one🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍
Why did you put screws in the drain pan where you used plumbers strap to hang it? Bad robot. Bad
You had me on flex,ul,and tywraps hahaha
i feel bad for the guys that have to change that shit, i would know!!!! after years it can get pretty messy.

They used mastic. Better than tape...

in the code book
mmmmmm to lazy to brother
Companies hire butcher installers and service techs get to clean it up
Mastic on the inside of flex is taking it too fn far
Lol huh..well that is how you get the duct to stick to the can...
it makes it 100%sealed vs tape that will come off after a few years
Sounds like a robot lol

Great video
wooow i am shocked. i will say no more as this is your business not a debate channel about hvac

Pff, good luck.
That’s called a chase return nothings wrong
@@Jackson-gv5tb I not getting enough force threw out the house,and I'm getting dust
That’s common. Maybe you need more return through out the house
Thanks i Lern good way to do it.
nice video
Good video!!
But try to do it on a 100 degrees day or more.
There are places where 100% flex is allowed? I could teach my 10 year old to run duct work.
ya in a warmer region, up the flex to the next higher size or whatever size compare to rigid duct to have same air flow capacity
Hard pipe will always be better. Lazy companies use it, now there are places for it but are rarely designed right
Yeah where I am you can use it but we only use hard pipe
Boot straps push out the sheet rock, we would use blocks.
That's a lot of bends going on their I thought you had to make it as straight as possible
i'm sure they gonna straight them out. this vid focus on information and showing us what they wanna share
Awesome

My wife consuela says. O. Noooo no noooo right now0
Where did you get the materials?
Stolen 😂
All the sealing and the f'in furnace is installed with hanger strap and sheet metal screws into the casing.. butchered

dampers were put wrong
Crap job, that junk would NOT pass inspection here in south eastern nc

@@aquattadomdren6760 how long have you been stranded on a deserted island?
Aethuri〰 for a while now. I mean, ever since I got WiFi up and running it’s been alright
I seen a lot worse in NC, believe me.

We work more better on TEXAS
blah blah blah stop talking and giving orders and get your a## up there and lets see you the hard work on a 110 -150 degrees
Right do this and do that they wouldnt even last one week doing rough
I think if anyone actually tried to do the work they would get a new appreciation for the corners that get cut.
