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.
I ordered your cards from your ebay. I work in in cape may, wildwood, ocean city, etc. It's shipping to my house in Elmer from Cape May Courthouse LMAO. I probably could have stopped and picked them up while working.
Great video as usual. 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?
I have this setup in my home except I have discovered a leak near the connection, the inner plastic with wire was ripped, would insulated tape do the trick? or a plastic sleeve work?
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!
can you tell me what the name of the plastic pieces at 8:09? im not able to get my cover flush with ceiling. screw keeps turning. i think those things are the key. i might be missing one or they might not be on right
Is 4” duct /flex allowed because I’ve yet to see anyone mentioning it but always 6”. Is a rheem furnace even capable of handling 4” duct for residential dwelling?
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.
@@Riomadness not sure about that. I worked for an HVAC company that would stick a big rotary brush in the ducts to clean them and then sealed them to the Lowest sq in possible
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
a grocery bag works quite well with handsaw you got a vacuum in the ceiling? why not just stick the hose through the large hole why not use vacuum while handsawing.....i mean if you got a vacuum on hand best to use it for all needs
Thanks!

I ordered this and looking forward to install it!
As always I like your videos I m working hard to become service technician
Love watching your videos. Always learning. Thanks for another great video!
You are always the best craig and here in Africa we cut it manually
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.
A little pooky on the inner liner works too! Great video!!
Cool video. In Australia we make sure to tape the insulation lining all the way to the outlet to stop condensation.
Exactly what I was looking for.
When does the center of the window land in the center of the two joist. Or there not be a Romex wire in the way. This is a fantasy install.
You always have to make adjustments to one side or the other. It never lines up like that.
@@Riomadness true. Maybe one in a whole new cut in
Great demo. Thanks Craig.

Wow that's awesome!!!
Oh fiberglass...my worst enemy.
I hate fibre glass too😂😂😂
Forbidden cotton candy
It’s not bad these people I crawl in it doing installs
Great video as usual.

Great job my God bless you and keep you safe
Nice work and excellent tool's
A real man takes on that insulation with no gloves. I got itchy just by watching
Flex is not itchy as much as others
then you are not one
Excellent video
Great video! Thank you.
Top as usual👍
Nice work 👍👍

Damn this man is legendary
wearing a mask, taking his sweet as time and whats hard about cutting in a difusser?
@@1KsE1 hahaha you don't even know
This tool make round mark on the ceiling which is hard to clean up. Depends of paint type. I have it but use only on new constructions as on the video
Hello Craig. What us 12 5/8 heavy? I have never heard that before 😮!
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!
You never mentioned what size hole you cut for what did duct?
I have not done ductwork in a while.
Great video but one problem is that the flex duct is not stretched out entirely so there may be considerable additional friction rate.
That is well done
can you tell me what the name of the plastic pieces at 8:09? im not able to get my cover flush with ceiling. screw keeps turning. i think those things are the key. i might be missing one or they might not be on right
Same! I actually have them, but they don't turn/extend when the screw is tightened.
I need that tool
Thanks much sir.
Wish all the people that did HVAC did it as clean as that😂

good job
🧐🤔🤷♂️ 👉 How are duct-cleaning services cleaning out those flex-ducts without tearing them up?
Some are metal ducts. Not all are using flex
The duct cleaning company only vacuums the ducting out. They do not run anything threw them. A big fat waste of time.
@@Riomadness not sure about that. I worked for an HVAC company that would stick a big rotary brush in the ducts to clean them and then sealed them to the Lowest sq in possible
Thank you
You are great
I have the tool, but I prefer the old version.
😮lets goooooo

he said this test build they put together was too small to get 24inch which is usually goes, 24 to edge of O.

I usually use a paper plate with my drill when I'm drilling into anything pointed up so that debris doesn't fall into my drill shafts
I wish the jobs I did majority of that time had that insulation, Verses the blown in grey shit
