    Excellent demonstration Craig! I think that’s the name that you said. The tool to make a perfect circular cut in the ceiling was fantastic, especially for clumsy left handed people like me 😂.

    When i was still in resi. We would pookie the inner liner, put it on the collar, panduit strap then finish it off with venture tape. Had to hit 4% or less leakage to pass inspection.

    Cool video. In Australia we make sure to tape the insulation lining all the way to the outlet to stop condensation.

    If I may ask, how would you do that differently in South Florida (or anywhere else with extreme heat and humidity) to stop condensation buildup on the area that was pandit strapped (over the whole duct) and the 8" section that wasn't covered in insulation at all?

    Hello Craig. What us 12 5/8 heavy? I have never heard that before 😮!

    • @acservicetechchannel
      @acservicetechchannel  Рік тому +4

      12 5/8" heavy means that it is 1/16" longer than 12 5/8" which is actually 12 11/16" but in the US we don't really talk in 16th's in the field. We only talk in 8ths or lower fractions. 12 5/8" light would be 12 9/16". Sorry for the confusion!

    Great video but one problem is that the flex duct is not stretched out entirely so there may be considerable additional friction rate.

    • @brucemulford2044

      Airtec has a vent that will fit 4", 5" or 6" ducts. All depends on how large your room is and how much air you need circulated. 4" ducts are common in small bathrooms. You can put any size duct extending from a trunk line.

    The video is good, you can see what is ethical, but it strikes me that being a 4-way grill, one outlet is giving air flow towards the wall and should, in my opinion, have been further separated from the wall to take advantage of that flow properly of air that is going to hit that wall and I think that it is a lost flow compared to the other sides. For the rest, I repeat, the video is good.

      that is the problem I have with my 2005 home! I have circular duct work in the ceiling. It is close to the outside walls. I just put window sealing foam on the inside part of the diffusers to prevent air from being blow toward the wall and window (and behind my black out thermal curtains in all my rooms).
      I'm not happy with that but better than wasting energy heating and cooling the windows behind the thermal blackout curtains, lol
