Ahh the classic hammer flip, gets me every time! Haha I’ve never done entire cold air runs, just piping reconfiguring. Great job handyman..looks like painstaking work!
I've somehow done very little HVAC duct work through the years, but as with most things here, it's enjoyable watching the installation. Looking forward to the next one. Nice truck.
Nice job Handy. That's some relaxing work once you figure out how it all fits together 👍 especially since you have that wide open basement to work in. Easy on the old back-er-oo 😆👍
Huge issue in the Seattle area to buy this stuff without a “license” used hvac supply online and they were great and had pretty much all you would need with most sizing. The quotes you’ll get to do basic rework of hard duct lines will make buying all the tools and supplies online 1/4 the cost and then you have the tools and even several left over parts… just in case
Handyman the Tinner-man!! I had to put hangers on all of the joists because my new ductwork banged too much when it cools in the winter. I also discovered that the side of the hammer works great for bending over the bottom of the cleat (just like the battery on you driver). Thanks for the vid!
That’s a nice trunk line. Looks clean. Did they bend that out of one sheet? I didn’t see where the seam is, or how it was joined. Maybe I missed it. Looks nice though!
Could your fab shop not insulate that ductwork on the inside? It will condensate when its cooling if you dont insulate it. It needs some mastic on those joints also. Good job though , especially doing it by yourself
I love that Dewalt hammer where'd ya get it? 😁When I was a teenager thats all we did for a HVAC company. I didnt think it at the time but I miss that work.
Maybe you will show it in an upcoming video but I'm wondering if you are planning on going back and taping the seams of you ductwork and insulating it? Usually when I've installed installed ductwork I insulate the 10' sections before puting them in place and then tape them together before tapping the insulation together over the top of it.
Why would you insulate them? Insulate in crawl space or attic. Basement is considered conditioned space. Waste of time and money. Never seen ducts in basement insulated.
@@joeburner7120 I agree, if the space is conditioned then insulation isn’t needed. In fact some homeowners like the exposed ductwork like what you’d see in some restaurants/commercial applications. We would still insulate though for deadening the sound, especially for gas furnaces. Also, depending on your location some inspectors still wanted to see some insulation on the ductwork.
how do you figure out when you have too many trunk lines and need a secondary blower to reach long distances? Is there a mathematical way to figure it or do you do it by anemometer, or what?
They make a handy slide calculator. There are cheat sheets for room sizes etc. Alot of common sense goes a long way. I have done 4 ducted systems myself that all worked well. I have seen a few botched ones that always left me wondering if the installer had any sense at all.
Cool question - you know handyman ain't no shade tree handyman, he's done had his book learnin and using the ole trick of science to do the maths. He may count on his fingers and toes but he gets the right answer everytime!
Have an engineer draw you up a plan. It's one thing to install duct, it's another to install the wrong size duct. If you aren't 100% positive in your calculations, get help from a professional. Bad ductwork can cause so many issues, so make sure it's done right.
Yeah, in my house, they added a room, then just added a trunk line and that room is always colder.... people don't think about the run length/how it affects other rooms, etc. Now, I have to separately heat and cool that room!
Is Mr Cool a quality brand? i've also seen you install a Tosot split system, i'm looking install a high efficient split system DIY friendly and budget, and it should heat well in extreme temperatures
They don't want some jerkoff wasting their time, sucking up all the profit who'll never come back. If they treat a businessman right, they hope you're coming back to purchase more later.
First
Here your hats, shirts, and sweatshirts here thehandyman.store/
What !!!!!, I can't hear you!!, didn't put on hearing protection!!!, yes!, gloves are a must!!
Nicely done!
@@TheHandyman1oh is this a thing if you comment first? Now I have to step it up.
circle cutting jig is cool
For real, I've seen them in the stores but haven't ever seen someone using them.
Are we going to talk about sealing the joints in the next video??

The thing I learned here is I hope I’m never being asked to run a trunk line. Nice work Handyman. HandyOn!
More great stuff by the Handyman!!!👍
My sleep pattern still isn't back to normal after Saturday's all-nighter... Damn You Handyman!
ha ha ha. I some how was able to get back on schedule and go to sleep at a normal time yesterday.
Sunrise is a great tune. I dig it. For anybody that wants to know, look up Northside as the artist, that'll put you on track
I love the use of the "hammer drill" to knock things into place 😂

That’s nice having your return vents low and on the wall as opposed to the floor.
Handy Man's a pretty good Tin Knocker too! There big money in that as well.
Amazing how easy that is.
❤❤❤❤the liveish commentary!
🇺🇸🤘 Heck Yeah Handy Dandy 🤘🇺🇸
🪕 Banjos 🪕🤣😂
Can't believe u did a 10hr live
Handyman, you are Amazing!
Not bad handyman 👍
very cool - always wondered how to do this stuff - thanks.
That’s a nice trunk line. Looks clean. Did they bend that out of one sheet? I didn’t see where the seam is, or how it was joined. Maybe I missed it. Looks nice though!
He shows at 10:11 how it assembles from 2 pieces that come together 👍
Handyman, I made a couple of wrong hole locations in duct like this once and I just walked out and moved to Mexico. Was easier that way
Good music

I love that Dewalt hammer where'd ya get it? 😁When I was a teenager thats all we did for a HVAC company. I didnt think it at the time but I miss that work.
Very interesting

No insulation but the seams all get sealed.

@@joshuarietman950use double wall insulated duct. Puts the insulation on the inside of the duct and brings noise down a lot
Should have welded that ductwork together handyman 😎
LOL
Tig welded and used stainless! 😆
Did you tape all the joints or seal them so there is no air leaks ?
Very cool
how do you figure out when you have too many trunk lines and need a secondary blower to reach long distances? Is there a mathematical way to figure it or do you do it by anemometer, or what?
Its designed using a Manual D Calculation. You can't just put up anything. I will talk about this more in the next video.

Dewalt cordless hammer 😂
Typically you want to leave a 1" gap from the joist to your suppy air duct.
Is the metal gauge in box stores the same as what’s allowed by code? What gauge is the metal you’re using? Thanks and have a Merry Christmas Handy!
More than likely 26 gauge cross breaks will give it strength
🤔 is that you playing the banjo Handyman???
Did you design and size your own duct work or did someone do it for you?
I had it designed.
I had the same question! Thanks for the question and answer!!!
On your tshirt If you add the words My Pronoun above the caulk gun. I would buy one. Might be to radical for some.
I don’t know anything about duct work but does that leak at the connections or do you tape it after it all up. Just curious. Tia
It all had to get taped and sealed.
Is Mr Cool a quality brand? i've also seen you install a Tosot split system, i'm looking install a high efficient split system DIY friendly and budget, and it should heat well in extreme temperatures
Are you the guy that emailed me this question? I responded. I will talk more about the MR Cool in an up coming video.
Yes, thank you. looking forward!@@TheHandyman1
Is this job for a property that you own? If not just out of curiosity why you would take on a HVAC job like this
I do turnkey remodels and fix and flips. Its my business.
The back ground music was kind of creepy
I see that the boats and the robot didn't make the cut.
LOL.
Yeehaw
They must be paying you a ton of $$$$$$$$ to work on this basement...like 1/2 years salary
Bro is him
Most supply houses i have gone to don't sell to homeowners, but only needed my amex with a business name on it

A claw hammer on duct should be illegal
Why? Its the most common tool used in construction.
What kind hammer to use?
Oh you a real real handy man🫵🤜🤛💪🏿
