I used 1/2” staples by bostitch and they seem to work good for me, and no the measurements are not the same for 1” duct Board. When you buy the amcraft duct cutting tools it gives u instructions for 1”, 1-1/2”,and 2” duct. The 1” duct instructions are down below. Example: 10” x 6” duct 1st cut: 10” + 1-3/8”= 11-3/8” 2nd cut: 6” + 1-3/4”= 7-3/4” 3rd cut: 10” + 1-3/4”= 11-3/4” 4th cut: 6” + 2-1/8”= 8-1/8”
Yes for the 1” Duct Board the First cut is (ID + 1-3/8”) Second cut is (ID + 1-3/4”) Third cut (ID + 1-3/4”) Fourth cut (ID + 2-1/8”) Make sure you have 1” v-groove tools to perform the cuts.
Really awesome instructional video. Thank you Alex. I am trying to find the best place to buy duct board so I can redo some a section. Any recommendations? I live in Tampa, Florida. I found the following at Grainger from JOHNS MANVILLE. Thoughts?
How do I size the ductwork to a air handler? For example a air handler is 20x20 do I use those to do the cuts or do I have to subtract or add something ?
20x20 is going to be ur outside dimension, so u need to use the inside dimensions to make ur cuts. If the duct board is 1.5” thick then u need to subtract 3” from each outside dimension to get a inside dimension of 17x17.
Yes if the duct is 1.5” then get ur outside dimension and subtract 3” off each side Example: pre existing duct measures 17”x21”out side dimension, if its 1.5” duct then subtract 3” from each side u will get 14”x18” inside dimension this would be ur cutting dimensions that u plug into the cutting formula
Just measure outside dimension of unit and subtract 3” to get ur inside dimensions (Example: unit measurement 21x21 then subtract 3” from each dimension which will give you 18x18) hope that answers your question

Excellent video....thanks
Yea no problem man, thanks for watching 👍
Thanks man!
Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, and yea man no problem 👍
@@AZSolutions92 I've done 2 duct jobs since watching this video and made some good money. Thanks again!
Great video that was a lot of help thank you
Yea no problem man, im glad video was helpful 👍
Would this work with the malco fasgroov?
Thank you very much.
Thank you!! You saved me!
Your welcome, im glad my video was of help to you👍
Can we put mastic inside at the corner for a better seal?
Yes you can 👍
@@AZSolutions92 but I heard it eventually catches mold?
Ty man keep it up
Yea no problem man👍
Question for you how would you cut for a 1ft x 10 ft 1ft all the way around
Nice job, if you had 1" thick board would the same tools and measurements be used?
Thanks man, and no you will need to buy the 1” duct tools for that, also the measurements are different.
Quick question, how long are the staples you would recommend? Also, are the measurements the same for 1" duct board? Thanks! great video.

2nd cut: 6” + 1-3/4”= 7-3/4”
3rd cut: 10” + 1-3/4”= 11-3/4”
4th cut: 6” + 2-1/8”= 8-1/8”
I have 10 years experience in duct board pebrication
That set of tools does it come in a box? Like that if yes link please
No the tools have to be purchased separately from the box, then you have to assemble it yourself.
Do you have measurements for one in board thanks.
Yes for the 1” Duct Board the First cut is (ID + 1-3/8”) Second cut is (ID + 1-3/4”) Third cut (ID + 1-3/4”) Fourth cut (ID + 2-1/8”) Make sure you have 1” v-groove tools to perform the cuts.
So say for example I want to make a box that’s 17x17 outer dimensions, how do I get my inner dimensions based off that for 1.5 duct board
Just subtract 3” from both your outside dimensions, so (17x17 outside dimension) should be (14x14 inside dimension)
@@AZSolutions92 ok sweet thanks man
Really awesome instructional video. Thank you Alex. I am trying to find the best place to buy duct board so I can redo some a section. Any recommendations? I live in Tampa, Florida. I found the following at Grainger from JOHNS MANVILLE. Thoughts?
Srry for replying so late, but yes the johns manville duct board is perfect.
How do I size the ductwork to a air handler? For example a air handler is 20x20 do I use those to do the cuts or do I have to subtract or add something ?
20x20 is going to be ur outside dimension, so u need to use the inside dimensions to make ur cuts. If the duct board is 1.5” thick then u need to subtract 3” from each outside dimension to get a inside dimension of 17x17.
@@AZSolutions92 so it’ll be 17+2 17+2 5/8 17 + 2 5/8 17+2 3/4
@@AngelFlores-jx1pf Yes that is correct 👍
@@AZSolutions92 what about for pre existing duct, do I get the outside dimension of it and do the same ?
Yes if the duct is 1.5” then get ur outside dimension and subtract 3” off each side
Example: pre existing duct measures 17”x21”out side dimension, if its 1.5” duct then subtract 3” from each side u will get 14”x18” inside dimension this would be ur cutting dimensions that u plug into the cutting formula
Can you do inch board too man iv gotten so many formulas over the years for 1nch and 1 n1/2 , I just need 1 dominant formula
Is that 2 inch duct board or 1 1/2
1-1/2 duct board
So how do I get dimensions for plenum to sit flush with unit
Just measure outside dimension of unit and subtract 3” to get ur inside dimensions
(Example: unit measurement 21x21 then subtract 3” from each dimension which will give you 18x18) hope that answers your question
Yes sir youu the man

How are you not wearing gloves?
I don’t like wearing gloves, I’m just used to not wearing them, but it is good practice to use them
