  • In this video, I show you how to use foil tape for ductwork. Foil tape is commonly used to seal various types of ductwork, and it is relatively easy to use. I go over a simple tutorial and show you how to properly apply it to ducts! I use an old piece of ductwork that I had lying around, but a similar process will be used for nearly all types of ducts!

    I appreciate you demonstrating the second method as well, since this was the method I had to use. Tank you for the tip of overlapping the piece ends and how to seal the edges first then smooth the center.
    Your tutorial helped me install my first dryer vent with confidence. Thank you.

    I have an old house with exterior ductwork on the flat roof and it is leaking inside from the seam where two pieces were put together.
    It was coated with some silver coating that feels VERY rough and I feel I can fix it if I do it the correct way.
    Is it necessary to grind the silver coating down to bare metal? Put HVAC tape on then re-coat with silver coating?
    A friend said it would be just as well to slap some black mammy on the seam and not worry about it but the ductwork is exposed to the passing public and is hideous enough as it is w/o having a black stripe showing.
    How to do a professional-looking job?
    Thanks!

    what are your thoughts on sealing in existing asbestos tape on ductwork joints with this method?

    • @miamilburn8583
      @miamilburn8583 Рік тому

      A thought from a stranger...
      Different counties have very different allowances & restrictions for any work with asbestos.
      IMO. ..Overkill on the breathing protection is not enough. Micro traces cause cancer. SWIMMING goggles will help protect your eyes.
      Charity housing programs* may have construction specialists that can help guide you in your county.
      *Habitat for humanity, senior home repair programs, ....

  • @miked9653
    @miked9653 3 роки тому

    This is assuming you're wrapping duct work on a table and not actually on place. Just cut a bunch off, peel and start wrapping. It's tape. Wrap it around stuff til it's sealed.

    • @brandonvanevery5878

      He covered "on place". Use segments if you don't want to waste tape, i.e. money.

  • @1210milky1
    @1210milky1 Рік тому

    I mean, you stuck tape on a duct. I feel like there is only one way of doing that and you can't really get it wrong. Next thing, you'll be showing us how to tape the lid shut on a cardboard box. If people can't tape along a line where two surfaces meet, they probably should get someone else to do it.
