@@bondjamesbond1664 Like I said if it's in the floor it will be insulated. In my area it should have at least 12 inches of insulation separating the crawl space and the floor.
did u stick around to see the third one? didn't stop with 2... it wasn't until i skipped to end and saw him doing it again that I went back and saw the third 1...
None of my boots are sealed or insulated even the ones in my attic!!! DallasTX summers are no joke I have to go up in my attic to do this because I need to save $$$$. What type of tape us this. It's difficult to understand what you named it in the video THX "FSK Tape" got it!!!!!!
Currently redoing the hack job that was done on my house. Aside from the air leaks, the lack of insulation causes water to form in the duct and drip on your floor in ceiling applications. So much easier to do during imktial imstallation.
Man put some good tape on there don't do all that masking tape it and put some good silver tape on there you don't have to screw it waste of time money is time time is money
Holy crap! You did a honest to god real how to video! Man , I appreciate you so much! 97% of howto videos are just some idiot prancing in front of a camera begging for attention without showing a dang thing worthwhile. You are the man. Thank you for being real. You stud you!
Drywall tape? Why not use what you are suppose to use, and use duct tape? I dont dig what he is doing here. They make a self adhesive duct insulation, Ive got it on my round ductwork. He is rigging the job.
drywall tape, sounds like a better idea! I guess that wont deteriorate and fall off like so called Duct tape, that I noticed is now being called Duck Tape?
Ohh, I thought this was a rap video..I kept waiting for the music to kick in. I thought maybe the rap group was going to kick down the door, rob you than break into some "yo.."
Good try, but the fiberglass drywall tape is useless. All the mastic is used for is to seal the joint. The air pressure in this duct doesn't come close to warranting the need to seal the snap lock. If it did they are using the wrong product anyway. The end seams of the pipe would normally be sealed with "duct tape" or mastic. No need for both. The wrap itself should've been prepped before attempting to wrap any duct. Such as cutting the fiberglass to reveal a 2" paper tab to staple to lengthwise and horizontally to connect the next piece to with an actual outward clinch stapler. Then foil tape applied and rubbed down with a tape squeege. Foil tape is a pressure sensitive product that has a shelf life. Don't buy any tape older than a year as to you run the risk of it peeling a few days later. Good attempt here but a professional job is more than just looking good. It should last for many years as most home owners or businesses are paying for it to.
I like your thinking but that stapler was a reverse clinch, I have the same one, its blue and all metal. And I might not use the fiber tape but I do seal all the joints, I used to not, only the ends but It does make a difference in leakage tests.
that's a work of art, sir. you make it look easy! (sans the drywall tape)
What’s the purpose of this? I mean won’t the ceiling or underfloor be insulated?
not if its in a crawlspace and it prevents condensation.

Nice
Your Insulation isn't supposed to over lap. That pattern is way to big.
I was with you until the second zip tie. Just seal the insulation with HVAC tape. No need to crush all your nice insulation with a zip tie.

CAn the duct work be ran outside an exterior wall then back inside like that very curious or would more be needed thanks
Instead of drywall tape and mastic, wouldn't aluminum tape be ok?
I would use tape myself it sticks really good to metal
Don't waste your time on anything other than aluminum tape! That is the best there is!
Can you insulate dryer vent pipe to prevent condensation?
why would a dryer vent condensate?
@@johndavidson5564 it blows hot air , and in the winter, when hot meets cold it sweats
Please provide links for the supplies and materials used. Thanks.
Dry wall tape? Why use mastic when you can use duct tape? Taping is much faster and cleaner and probably cheaper.
Duct tape adhesive doesn't last long with the kind of temperature changes that ducting creates. It ends up falling off pretty quickly.
Try 90degree boot its a pain
Wrapping over 20 so far I hate it.
@@Alex-jo2oi my wife can wrap them like a Christmas gift
@@tedhicks5431 lol
Those are nice new ideas. I'm retrofitting and need a few good ideas like this. Thumbs up!
What kind of stapler is that?
Outward clinch stapler.
I would get fired for this crap
Id give this an A minus only because he didnt express how sharp the actual boot is and no PPE.
I worked for an ac company, and I installed the flex directly to the boot, then I used a tie to tighten. Afterwards I taped it.
Good video watched it really qick at work now I know don’t need to tell them I don’t know how now
If I did that on the job they would fire me in a minute
Man put some good tape on there don't do all that masking tape it and put some good silver tape on there you don't have to screw it waste of time money is time time is money
Air Lock 181 is all you need, no masking tape..
Thank you so much!!! You actually show what to do!! This is great!

Are you high? Waste of time and resources using drywall tape it is a unnecessary step
Excellent job!. This is the correct way of connecting flex to boot. I like the brand of tape you used, it's going to stay.

Any stapler works
u suk azz
Those mastic and mesh tape dried out and popped in my ducts. Aluminum foil tape is better.
We cut back a lip on our insulation to not get a tear drop shape. Then staple, then tape, then staple again then mastic the tape. My boss is picky.
Ha ha ... that was good!
drywall tape, sounds like a better idea! I guess that wont deteriorate and fall off like so called Duct tape, that I noticed is now being called Duck Tape?
Drywall tape is a FAIL, so is Duck Tape. They make aluminum tape that is designed for HVAC ductwork. You can get it at HD or Lowes. I use Nahua brand.

The air pressure volume does warrant the need to seal the snap lock
Can you get this insulation at the local Home Depot/Lowe's?
You can also use the bubble wrap insulation for duct work.
