    Nothing about this guide is of any value other than in the beginning when he said to do load calculations. EVERY "rule of thumb" mentioned is of no value. Also, if you don't know how much air is supposed to go to each room, which you don't without load calculations, how can you determine the correct size duct/s to route to that specific room? HINT: You can't.

    So? Probably a totally stupid question !!! I'm designing a duct layout for a 2 ton system for my small house. The AHU will be centered with the house, I'll need (approx- 500 cfm's on one side of the house ,, and 300 for the other half,,, Would I be correct in sizing the trunk accordingly for each side? The trunk for for 300 cfm's come out to roughly 8 x 8 ( with a .07 friction rate ,,, calculated , not assumed !) Only Asking because I've searched like crazy, and this is the only video I've seen where you've split the load,, ( make's sense to me btw,,) Just want to make sure I size accordingly ,, I've searched at nauseum, and every example shows one main trunk and sizing down as needed, so, I'm a little confused with that part, Otherwise ,, its approx ,, a 8 x 20 trunk straight across ,for a 2 ton/800 cfm's unit ,, if I'm using the calculator correctly :) 🤔 thx!!!

    I have high static pressure on a new 3.5 ton heat pump. I know for sure the flex duct is the issue. I have two 12" coming out of the supply in opposite directions. I know I need an 18" for a 3.5 ton heat pump. I did a diagram layout of the duct in the attic. What would happen if I just replace the two 12" to 18"? Ignoring the downstairs, because everything is between the walls. The problem was even worse with an undersized return. The original and only return was a 24x18. The total static pressure on the unit was .9 W.C. I was able to drop the TESP to .66 by making the return 30x24. Since there is so much static pressure and the unit TESP is a .2 and I need an 18" for a 3.5 ton for 1400 CFM. How big does the supply plenum should be and what shape? Should the supply plenum split to 3 18" going out to each of the 3 distribution boxes? Do the other three distribution boxes also need to be larger? Looking at the triangle shaped supply plenum I have very little room up for a rectangle plenum. I think a 3 feet ductboard supply plenum should work. There is a foot from the Air handler to the ceiling and I think 2 feet from the attic floor to the roof. Now I am looking at two types of designs. Design #1 keeps the 18" ducts straight by having a single 18" coming out of the supply and then a distribution box splitting it to three 18". The sides would be coming out straight to the to side boxes and one going to the third box with a slight curve. Design #2 splits to three right at the supply plenum and goes to each box individually, but all three will have a slight curve. I will not be using any metal plenums..... it will be all flex duct and ductboard boxes, because of budget. I am not trying to make a perfect system, but trying to remove the restriction from the 12" undersized ducts installed and replacing the flex duct that was patched with mastic with new ones. Another question about the installation..... I have the flex duct running up and strapped to the roof for support. Since the supply plenum is low to the floor due to the roof..... Can the flex duct be run on the attic floor? Can you tell me which layout makes more sense and less restrictive? Thank you.
