Install Duct Patches to the NADCA Standard

A competitor patched access holes in the air ducts with substandard materials, zero screws and on one hole they only used tape. When patching a duct, the patch needs to be the same gauge or thicker than what was removed. Amateur companies use the cheapest materials to save money.

Do Not Try to Clean Asbestos Wrapped Air Ducts.
Переглядів 1 тис.3 місяці тому
I saw these air ducts this week that a local competitor had cleaned twice. These air ducts should never have been touched. Vibration, agitation or blasting with air tools could cause asbestos tape fibers to become airborne. The company that did it should have known better and walked away.

Watching Out for Asbestos Tape on Air Ducts.
Переглядів 3,3 тис.Рік тому
If your air ducts have asbestos tape on them, you should not have the air ducts cleaned until the tape has been remediated by a license asbestos abatement company. This is why you do not hire an amateur or a carpet cleaning company to clean your air ducts. Would you really risk lung cancer to save a few dollars?

When were the air ducts last cleaned in your surgical facility? Whether it is cosmetic surgery, dental or even veterinary surgery, the air ducts over your head should be cleaned on a regular schedule. What about the exhaust system for your operating room? Is it a dedicated exhaust or does the air in the OR communicate with other areas of the building? If you have a spike in post-operative bacte...

You can literally get it out with another brush head or magnet. Takes 5 minutes.
What do you recommend for the best hose connection such that you can easily disconnect and reconnect for periodic lint removal and cleaning?
Where can I purchase that piece of garbage?
ITS COLD! My friend dropped her vape pen down my vent in the most random fall ever. Is it safe to cut the heat on?
I dropped a disposable pen that's plastic in the vent and a ear pod the left one will this effect cause a fire when I turn on heat for winter please let me know
Do animals get in the vents if you remove them? In my neighborhood EVERY vent has these?
Are you using sheet metal screws? What size
My husband put a fireproof document box close to the sheet metal heating vent. 😲There are documents we have to have, can't replace. It is about 12" x 16", weighs 12 pounds. The duct is vertical where it comes into the house. It fell down too far for us to reach.
My Screen was removed now I have condensation in my dryer. Now what? My dryer vents from the roof. Thanks
It should be illegal to sell a product called "duct tape" and it not be meant for ducts. There is nothing more frustrating than that garbage being put on an airduct. It makes a giant sticky mess that has to be cleaned off before putting proper foil tape on. An absolute nightmare. Again, it should be ILLEGAL to brand/market/sell any product called "duct tape" that is in no way shape or form meant for use on air ducts. Why there hasn't been any legal actions to stop it already is beyond my imagination.
Link? I can not find it anywhere
Is it safe to use dryer flexfix tape around the adapter where the hose meets the adapter? I’m noticing very small gaps between the plastic and hose when I shine light through.
Sir: Tell me how you did that I am trying to picture that in my mind.
So the scam is to get your data?
Yes. They get your data and sell it to amateurs.
i find it crazy that it seems like people in my area charge 500$ to clean dryer vent, I have maybe 20 foot straight run out to the side of my townhome. can I simply rent a high power blower or vacum?
That is pretty high. We are between $149-$199
Really useful and good to get everything defined and clear. Nothing beats regular duct tape for all the usual daily DIY jobs. Like most guys i constantly have a roll on the go, can't imagine life without duct tape. Greetings to any like minded dudes reading this in 2024 👍 👋
Proof is in the seeing you clean it. Anyone can talk about it.
Good Idea. We will have to do a cleaning video next.
You are overly paranoid about asbestos. In solid forms like tape, it can only become friable if you take like a sander or angle grinder to it.
I have to disagree with that. Agitation, vibration, shooting compressed air at it or hitting it with a pneumatic whip can also cause it become friable. I refer the client to an asbestos abatement contractor and will only clean the ducts when we have a certificate of abatement
@@planetduct6663 I did industrial hygiene work for the Air Force for 14 years. I promise all you are doing is wasting people's money. Even if they wanted to "abate" it, it isn't insulation, it is tape. They can just rip it off and throw it in the trash, it won't hurt them one bit. Where it becomes a huge problem is if there is like an inch or more of actual asbestos insulation encapsulation the duct work, then it can't be removed without it posing a serious health hazard.
@@DHxJarsyl Rip it off ? Great advice if you want to create an asbestos spill site and get fined out of business by the EPA and OSHA.
If only the insides of the ducts were cleaned, I don't see how the asbestos tape on the outside would have gotten agitated? These ducts typically fit over each other (the connecting portions are about 2 inches deep), then the connections are screwed together. The tape here appears to have been only on the outside.
EPA guidelines state that the ducts should not be exposed to extreme vibration or air flow. Air duct cleaning tools can cause both extreme vibration and airflow. Also many air ducts have damage and gaps due to poor construction that allow direct contact of the agitation devices directly to the tape fibers. Running pneumatic agitation whips and rotary brushes inside of air ducts causes vibration We have also found asbestos tape inside return ducts and plenums, directly in the airflow of the system. It is not worth making a little money to endanger my clients or my staff
Thanks for tips man. Only the pros know. I take out Asbestos once a week at least. Nasty deadly. You may save lives with this advice. Wear that PPE guys.
Zippo lighter. Which is awesome because they are non magnetic lol.
For the compressable semi-rigid transitional hose, would you recommend CUTTING it to size to shorten the length? or would you simply recommend making the connection and then compressing the hoes to be as short as possible to the vent?
Either is fine. Whatever gets you the straightest, shortest route to the duct.
The bad part is you’re full of shit
Great idea replace the duct work then call you to clean it. You are hired!
I've always worried about the cats falling down one of the vents while the covers have been off for whatever reason. This is good information because I know that I would freak out and not think to do these simple life saving steps right away.
I’ve definitely demo’s that before
Hey I know that guy!
how do you like it?
Love our Hypervac, but we really recommend having them built on a Chevy Chasis
Always confused about duck tape versus duct tape. Then I read an article that explained that duck tape was actually called “duck” tape from the beginning of its invention. It was never called “duct” tape. It was never meant to be used for air ducts. So the confusion is people like me thinking that they were hearing duct when people said duck. And I used to correct other people when they said duck tape. I would tell them “no it’s ‘duct’ tape”. I did this for about 20 years until I read this article that proved me wrong. 😂
Nope, there are infant rolls of cloth back generic gray tape marketed and branded as "duct tape", I have several rolls now. "Duck" is a specific brand of "duct tape". The only real duct tape out there is foil tape. Everything else that calls itself that is dishonest marketing that gets loads of people up to their eyeballs in trouble with their ductwork systems.
This information was very helpful and confirms my decision to purchase a semi-flex hose, particularly since the dryer connection is less than a foot from the vent in the wall (when pushed into place.
There goes my hero.
Hi Brandon, around how many filters for 10 ton and 20 ton usually?
4-6 usually
@@planetduct6663 it actually depends in what type of filters you are using because every filter has a different pressure drop and therefor the more restrictive the filter the larger the filter area will need to be to pass enough air for the ac unit to work efficiently. you probably need to use a manometer to see if its causing a restriction on a system. you usually only get around .1 - .23" static pressure allowance for filter anything more you are slowing down the aireflow.
How much would a truck like that cost
100k plus tax
I do dryer vent service in Southern California and homes in several housing developments I have been in were constructed with 4 inch ABS plastic drain pipe. They used this material because they ran the duct through the concrete slab the house is built on. Dryer vent code today specifies 4 inch smooth galvanized duct only.
Will I be ok if I dropped a mini pencil in my vent you can Clearly see it in my vent and it is on the top part of the vent
Helpful, very helpful! Thank you!
TOO SMALL!!!!!!!! Doesn't anyone make an adapter bigger than 4 inches?? Seriously?
ua-cam.com/video/w4bLYpOpthg/v-deo.htmlsi=Q7pvg8BiIHGtbpmA
Great video. Problem is I can't find an oval to round adapter that actually fits over or inside my dryer duct in the wall.
Check this other one out in Part 2 ua-cam.com/video/OX3nDT3FoMM/v-deo.html
It's confusing because it's called duct tape, so that's why so many people use it.
My daughter just dropped an IPad in the vent smh
It generally poses no risk at all, especially if it's underneath the house. You can also paint to encapsulate it.
What kind of paint? Just normal white paint?
Generally no. But in the context of air ducts cleaning it poses a greater risk to the worker and the residents.
I would hire an abatement company to encapsulate the Asbestos Containing Material.
Great job 👏🏻
Excellent advice thanks
Which tape do I put down first
Nice pay day 😊
Duct tape the connections
Well, they were supposed to be pro's when they built my house, but everything they did on my hvac was wrong, and just like you're saying, all that duct tape they used fell off it leaked like a sieve I was in construction for 40 years and have seen it all I don't trust any one to do a good job anymore they even used a gutter down spout for my dryer vent so it was very hard to clean my dryer I opened up the wall and replaced it with a round pipe used for dryers they left felt off my tile roof in several places I found plugs in my house where they cut the the neutral wire to short and used the copper ground instead I don't trust the inspectors they get paid off I would suggest anyone that needs to hire a contractor watch them close go look at their jobs they did look them up check there reviews
All was well stated……Lieutenant JVM
Hi Brandon great video can I asked what you charge per vent for laundromat to clean I am adding dryer vents cleaning to my services thank you .
$50 per dryer. double stacks count as 2 dryers
Technically it's cloth tape, but people started incorrectly using it on air ducts and the name stuck.
