Normally the crimped end faces downstream, not towards the airflow source. That way the crimped end becomes more of a funnel for the air entering the next section of pipe, and no raw edge sticking out to restrict airflow.
@@dumptruckintruthduke my experience, 2 on the outside is cleaner, tighter to the other pipe and smaller crimps. If the other pipe for some reason is tighter than usual I usually put 3 on the outside and that brings the crimp in towards the center more. Now I’m going to have to see the difference tomorrow.
Stop using straight snips , use either right or left offsets , makes your cutting much easier and cleaner , and your using the crimper backwards ! Make sure you have the two prong outwards , facing you By you putting the 3 prongs on the outside.....backwards .... it makes it more difficult to connect actually growing the metal in the opposite direction you desire .
You can not grow the metal by crimping it. You take a set circumference, and increase the distance the metal follows by changing the shape, this will always reduce the circumference
My flex duct pipe is under my house by a couple of weeks ago a dog managed to get under my house and rip it to shreds he ripped off a good 2 feet outta it what should I do to repair it ???
re-run it in flex, it's cheap and pretty easy to do or I would suggest re-running all of your runs in hard pipe. I'd suggest insulating the duct but its not necessary.
Thank you for this informative video that I needed. The video was step by step clear and cut and to the point.
Great videos. Clear and concise.

If you use m- 12 or m-14 snips you can use both pieces of snp
No waste
The larger number of blades always goes on the INSIDE, not the outside.
It absolutely makes no difference.

I love when an office boy does a demonstration and does just about everything wrong.
Tin knocker here....you’re using your crimpers backwards.....def a shop guy
Lol, shop guy isn't doing it with a hand crimper. In 22 years, never have I seen the direction of the crimper make a bit of difference though.
thank you
excellent, problem solved!!!!

Fix it and slap the dog
a pair of midwest reds or greens would have saved you soo much time. just one cut!
Red or green offsets , no need for straights
And he is using his crimper backwards
He didn’t use duck tape
I'd snap it, grab my angle grinder w cutting disk, and finish before you start to hand cramp.
I'll race you , my cut will be faster and far more clean , the guy in the video has no idea what he's doing or talking about
Would have been nice for a close up. Didn't help at all for someone who knows nothing about this type of stuff
