That's the way we have always done it with just installing coil directlyon to furnace. It's actually the way most manufacturers recommend connecting those components together.
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
You can heat exchanger from top down in that application with ease. Remove coil door and inspection plate off A coil. Yes the inspection can be removed. They unscrew and sometimes they need to cut in half then put back together then sealed. It's because techs get lazy and don't want to do the extra work.
It's a nice looking job, but why not caulk and set cased coil directly on furnace and transition to existing flex connector. I can see if you have a oil furnace and need the 4 plus inches rise or mismatched coil width to furnace .
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.
So fresh and so clean!
Beautiful work. You have a rare talent.
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?

I would not want to replace that furnace when it fails and AC still remains there:)
Do you not insulate it because it’s below the coil, or is the room conditioned?
Excellent job!! Can you do one with a canvas connector? Thanks.

Lord have mercy. Don’t screw the damn thing in. Just why? Have mercy on the next guy. Sheesh.
Awesome job! 👍
Nice work. Gave me an ideal.
Beautiful
It’s them big loops on your ears picking up the wrong station.
Amen brother!
twice the work

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