Absolutely beautiful work. I’m a install lead but what I lack in is sheet metal work. Striving to get better, felt like this helped a lot seeing someone do the whole process
Do you use already built plenums
How can you be a lead and not do metal you must be at a very small company lucky man
where I'm from you have to put canvas in the supply and return for inspected jobs and I have a hand brake I use for cross brakes and bends
Awesome work bro. I learned a few things for sure! I like the s clip trick! You need to upload more videos!!! :)
Thanks bud.
honestly I have like three dozen videos that need to get edited and posted but I don't have time because we are always so busy.
Good video👍🏻. I learned how to do transition your way but prefer now to measure 📏 my height put the piece up mark my corners to get my angle 📐. Then cut and cross brace. Working with large pieces like your job probably would take 45 minutes to an hour
Why no cross brakes?
Thanks for sharing this man. Im a service technician but I think learning how to make ductwork is very important and I want to learn. Honestly I would have removed that 6 inch humidifier bypass duct the moment I walked into the room. Lol 😆
Only a true installer will look around in search of a tool and grab the homeowner’s shit just because it was closer than the van
Accurate
I needed six stitches just from watching this video.
I learned from an old school lead installer on how to do transitions using Pittsburg. When I first started out being a lead almost two years ago I struggled with sheet metal and now I find myself doing all different types of sheet metal fabrications from ductwork to to even making boxes for downflows. It’s rewarding if you put the time and effort into pushing yourself every day just to be better then you were the day before.
Thanks for this video brotha. I’m trying to wrap my head around transitions and now I feel a little more confident in doing them.
Functionality...lmao...this was difficult for me to watch....looks like a Fuk it Friday job..smh
After watching your video I can do this - with about another year's experience!
I've got a different method. Same result tho. Nice work
On my first day as a lead. I watched this video omw there. And it helped me a lot thank you so much sir!💯
How are you a lead but watch TH-cam videos as some is driving you to the job
No cross breaks. probably will start popping. And it is easier to use a Hensley bender out on the job site.
Awesome feild transition man. I use to work at a company that only made duct by hand but it was a while ago. This was a great refresher. For in the feild
Nice bro!!,im ductman from philipines😍😍new frnd
Where's your cross breaks?
Didnt need them
@@whitingservicesheatinganda3858 you didn't??
@@chucktrivette5723 Nope.
If it was any bigger then maybe I'd put them in.
But it runs fine the plenum doesnt pop when it turns on and off.
@@whitingservicesheatinganda3858 keep up the good work 👍
I agree I personally would have put cross breaks on all four sides but if it works with out oil canning, popping and pinging than it works! Good work, keep up the videos brother.
Looks great, but no cross brace?
Didnt need it
Nice work Boss . I've been there a few times myself
Thanks for the insight. It is really helpful!
Brilliant 👏🏽 , no brakes needed 👍🏽
"I think we are okay" is a bit worrying to hear. Proper duct sizing and heat loss calculations is the name of the game.
It sure is.
But real world isnt always that cut and dry. Are we going to tear a customers house apart because their duct system is undersized?
Suggesting that will illicit a response of "But its been running fine for 20 years" and then they show you the door.
Yes we knew its undersized because we do duct calculations. The 2-ton system ran fine for 20 years. If we replace it with the same size system, it will still run fine.
And it did!👍
Sorry that you were worried from our video, but we werent worried for a second.
Duct sizing and load calc is important. And when installing new construction, its easy to base your decisions solely only those variables.
But when you are dealing with existing duct systems, much of which is inaccessible in walls and ceilings, there are more factors to consider.
Would I install a duct that small? No. Would I tell a customer my 2-ton cant replace their 2-ton because the duct is too small? No.
Because real world historical data matters
Since I'm not on your job as a helper, I can nit pick. Was your guy installing a line set? What happened to the evaporator coil? I would have liked to see you provide for the coil. I would liked to have seen a canvass connector. You have one on the return. I would have liked to have seen a cross break on your panels. Great job, nice and square,. You have minimal gaps at your corners. Since I'm retired, I would hire you guys.
Everything great good video, except for the , keep doing what you doing I don’t need help, maybe he wants to learn some from you .
No, he is just as good as me at transitions. He was offering to help me get that piece in, but I didnt want him getying side tracked from what he was doing.
Great video! Please make more video like this!😊
I never thought to make my folds that way, I always used my bar, but that looks easier. I have been in hvac since 2012, but I've been in whole sale distribution the last 5 years. But I sorta have my own side business doing installs. & lately it seems I am making 2 or 3 times more a month just working weekends for my self. I'm contemplating quitting and going for myself full time. When is the right time to do it?
If you have the tools, right away. Trust me. I was only in the trade 4 years before I went on my own. I started in commercial refrigeration though and I learned proper troubleshooting right away. All the money is definitely in residential though. I make 1-3k every install I do residential. Working 16-24 hrs at most on a job
Kick the slip and drive
Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing.
Love the hoarder basement 🤣
I see the light measure twice cut once with weird angles it’s more tedious
Thanks for the tutorial 😊
Great video thanks brotha
Apprentice here doing residential hvac and sheet metal scares me🤣 my lead does really good trasition pieces
Thank you for this!
How much was the static pressure there has to be a back pressure thats out of this world? Great metal work though.
Didnt bother checking it. I put the same capacity system in there that had been running with no problems for 20 years.
I figured it would also run ok. And it did.
Im sure the TES is high.
What are you basing that off of
Watching the parts of stuggle makes me appreciate the video even more. Sometimes its a pain in the ass!
Where's your cross break
Didnt need it.
This gave me a great heads up.. normally I would mark my inch for hem than my measurement. I would find myself not being able to get my longer transition inch hem because it would be on the edge I'm going to try it your way and just measure total length than fold in my hem
Remember when you make a bend, the bend takes up about an 1/8 inch on metal.
So your back panel for example ends up being a little less wide than you measured. So adjust your initial measurements accordingly.
For me, for example the back panel, I will measure my back panel with from different places depending if my side panel bottom flanges are flared out or flared in.
If that makes sense.
Why did you do the duct after installing the rest ? We build the duct in shop always slides in, adjust to put a flex in there and makes the job so much easier .
What rest? We put the evap coil on top of the existing furnace, then installed the plenum.
I have the same situation at my home. Your video helped me a lot !! Thanks
Amazing
Does it not need insulation?
No it does not.
@@whitingservicesheatinganda3858 thanks for the reply, will the ductwork not condensate?
@@Cameron72737 No, it's inside the conditioned space.
@@whitingservicesheatinganda3858 gotcha, thanks for the reply
Why no flex collar or cross breaks
Because they werent needed
GREAT JOB , DONT FORGET TO CROSS IT NEXT TIME , ,.
yeah or even just angle the top lips so it wont be wobbly lol
S cleats reinforce ,like how last piece slips right in easy pz , cross break on 3.5 ton unit 2.5 barely 1000 CFM . Clean work anywho ,👍💪✌️🤔🙏😎
I didnt forget. It just didnt need them.
You just made it 1000x more difficult. Cut pieces long , slide it into your S lock make your marks and that’s it. Wow 🤯
That's what i was about to say. I would be done by the time he cuts the 2nd piece. I dont even use slips on the sides. Informative for novice people.
Why people hung up on cross break? Well informed video boss
Do you have any videos using ductboard..???
No sorry I don't. I don't use duct board very often.
Mostly metal.
However I do use it in attic installations. I prefer fiberboard in an attic over metal because there's less risk of condensation forming on the metal duct down the line..
And to be honest it's just easier to deal with in an addict. Especially hauling it up there.
