By making an inside bend you're screwing service technicians. Imagine yourself on a service call, you have to make sure the coil is not clogged or the heat exchanger is not cracked. Now you have to fight it to cut it out instead of unscrewing it. Don't get me wrong spacers are always great for airflow and service. I just feel like if you have to choose between beautiful and practical we all should choose the second. Install is done once in 10-30 years versus service twice a year. And homeowners don't really care how it looks. From my service experience a good quarter of them don't even know where the system is located.
Static pressure drop test across each component and take the limit switch out you need but put it back though haha. And the smoke test in the heat exchanger. There are many non invasive ways of testing systems. I never hook up gauges if I have a 20 degree air temperature split in cooling
That's why knowing how to actually make ductwork with a pittsburgh seam on all 4 pieces of duct. That way it's easy to open the front piece. Just bending 2 pieces of metal and screwing them is a half ass way.

Beautiful work. You have a rare talent.
So fresh and so clean!
Why is it necessary to build a riser? Why not just to set A Coil on top of furnace and do a duct work from Coil and up?
Nice work. Gave me an ideal.
Awesome job! 👍
Do you not insulate it because it’s below the coil, or is the room conditioned?
Lord have mercy. Don’t screw the damn thing in. Just why? Have mercy on the next guy. Sheesh.
Excellent job!! Can you do one with a canvas connector? Thanks.
Beautiful
Amen brother!
It’s them big loops on your ears picking up the wrong station.
twice the work

It really doesn’t matter. The way he did it still had integrity and looks clean.
