In this video, Phillip Green of PlumbersStock.com demonstrates the correct method for installing a register onto a length of cylindrical ductwork. Installing your registers correctly will help your furnace run more efficiently by preventing unecasary pressure loss. Correct installation will also help you to direct the air coming from your furnace where you need it.
Now to install the diffusers, they are an SD52-0, they have an opposed blade damper. These ones are 12x6 and I'm just going to put it right here on the duct. Figure out where it needs to go and approximately down the line and also make sure it's centered. We're going to point straight down with these because these diffusers can adjust either direction, and this is a nice long hallway. So I'm just going to put it on there and then I'm going to trace out the inside of it.
It doesn't have to be perfect, just pretty close. You can see the general lines right here, maybe trace them out a little bit better and then the flange on this diffuser will cover up any excess. Plus it has a foam, so you don't actually have to sealant it.
I'm going to use my Malco Aviation Snips, AV6, the Malco AV6.
To start the hole first I'm going to use the Malco CB, which is the cutting bit out of their hole cutter. It works really well to start a whole and then also to make the whole larger. So I have a hole started here, you just put the snips right in it and start cutting in a circular pattern, just make the hole bigger. Eventually I'll get over to the lines. You've got to be really careful because this is way sharp, you'll cut your fingers off and all.
This is the opposed blade part of this diffuser. You can basically stock a phillips-screw driver in right there and close it, I'll show you. Just like that, back open. So we're going to have it open right now. After I have it installed I can adjust these movers to go this way or this way. Since the flow of the furnace is going in this direction, I think I'll just continue it in that same direction. Got to adjust each one of them individually.
There we are, an even pattern.
Great video and very helpful. Definitely the worst audio I’ve ever heard. But still a good video
4 inch grinder with a 1mm blade works best and faster
How do you stay safe from breathing in all the smoke? I used a hacksaw to make 8 12x6 inch vent holes on the metal air duct and it was spitting sparks everywhere and metal too. The worst part of it was breathing in the smoke. How does one keep their respiratory system safe while cutting the holes.
Can you get it for a 6 inch diameter pipe
Where are your safety glasses?
No shit. No gloves no safety glasses. Obvious sign of a scab.
Thanks for sharing i love the vid
You shouldn’t cut the cord’s on the spiral. Should’ve filet between. Plumbers for yea
It's a plumber, 3 months down the road a sheet metal worker will have to come fix his hack job.
Facts.
5 Years now and it's still working flawlessly!
I'm trying to put spiral ducting in my living room. Don't i need insulated spiral for indoors? Does it matter? Are diffusers still easy to install in spiral ducting?
Video condition space no insulation. If the space that duct occupy be condition by the ac or heating system no insulation.
That's a lot of work for one whole. Nowadays just use a Metal cutting saw from Diablo 4''' works great!
You did not even use a level how do you know where the center line of the duct is?????
Lowes has some great power tools, your killing yourself, but thanks for the video :)
Actually, after looking at his website, he has access to way better power-tools at way better prices! hah
Don't need to insulate in a conditioned space.
Hammer hack knife and snips always
If you ever did that on my job site id politely ask you to leave. You are compromising the structure of 'spiral ductwork' its held together with the ribs you just cut out lmfao please dont be this guy.
Use gloves
Safety glasses and gloves.
Please no more safety sallies
lance jong ya absolutely no more safety u union freak. Gloves ? Yes. Glasses? For what?
You just made this spiral into a hazard. Physically and visually.
SAFETY GLASSES!!!!!!
Thought this was for a honda lol
Look at all those man eaters ouch!! A grinder would have been quicker and better for this application 100%
Never use grinder on this!!!
That’s the shittiest cut I’ve ever seen even though it’s covered
Unibit and turbo shears you'll thank me when you're 50
Why are using tin snips without safety work gloves. Be safe dude. Metal could be sharp lol
Maneaters, where's the center, blah blah blah Comments.
1. It's a saddle tap, there's a large flange so there is plenty of room for dimpling to be covered.
2. "Maneaters", aka "Spurs". Face it, only noobs or nooberees make them even with full closure of the snips. Unless you're cross eyed even a 60 day nooberee can avoid those. But yes, you'll still have a dimple in most cases. Refer to #1.
3. "You did not even use a level how do you know where the center line of the duct is?????". Won't even comment on that Comment since the answer is so obvious.
4. " use a grinder".. Sure if you want a crap load of debris traveling throughout the system. Or worse yet burn down a $15 million project like I've seen happen.
Dude... what is wrong with you!!!!!
Yea well your still not supposed to be cutting the spiral seams noob
Is this guy a hvac installer? No safety at all no gloves no double cuts and d list goes on...😒
No level no uni bit and d list goes on...lol
Use gloves bro
