The intention is to solve, it is more expensive to repair water leakage damage than to do on-site fabrication, excellent job.
Carpenter and Joiner to trade , but it never ceased to amaze me how quick my buddy was at bending sheet metal..
one thing I noticed was that your pan folds on the corners are in the inside of the pan, his were always on the outside..
We made a bunch of custom bread pans for our hunting buddy's bakery, for scotch loaves.
I sure learned wood was easier on the hands..
I was just getting ready to do this job - all wrong! Thanks for straightening me out! The tips on the emergency float switch were worth the whole watch.
I always come back to this video when I need a refresher. Thanks Craig!
Exactly what I was looking for. Prefect straight to the point. Thank you!.
Slowly watching all your videos. These are an amazing resource for those of us into lifetime learning.
Thanks a lot James and glad to help!
#1 Hvac guy on youtube, most knowledgeable and informative videos I've found. I appreciate you!
Awesome! Thank you!
That's a great way of doing it. Nice Work!!
Amazing! I installed a unit without the pan and need to add one after it’s been set!! 🤦🏽♂️ 1 mistake I’ll never make again. This was very helpful!! Going to lift the unit up and slide a piece in and get to bending!! Great video! 👍🏽🙏🏽
Excellent craftsmanship almost impossible to find today! If you lived around here you'd have job for life!
Thanks Brian!
Keeping it simple. Great video
Great video Craig!
Thats amazing. Thank you for this!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, very helpful and professional!
Thanks Chip!
Great question! I will see if I can do a video on that. Please give me a little time. Thanks for your Questions, Thumbs up, and Comments!
Everyone who's good at their job makes it look easy! Well done, Craig! I like the advice that you don't need a PVC drain in the secondary pan since it's never supposed to have water in it. For my own system I actually prefer a moisture sensor sitting in the low spot on the emergency pan to a level switch on the edge, with the Safe-T-Switch in the secondary port on the main tray.
Yeah they are good switches, thanks Peter!
I really like all of your educational videos, this one included. I am pleased to subscribe to you because you explain things. Thanks and take care.
Thank you very much Jeffrey!
That was well explained.
I subbed out my sheet metal work, I knew this was done some how, thanks for simplifying it . I'm retired now and needed to know how to do this for something unrelated to HVAC
That is slick. I like how you did the corners.
Thank you, yeah isn't that nice
Went to pick up a unit yesterday and asked supplier if they have any pans without holes -NOPE. Thanks for the training. Went home and made one. I don't have a break but I do have a large flat metal table. I clamped metal down and bent it with a rubber mallet. It came out great.
Thanks again for taking the time to teach this. You never know who will benefit from it.
That's really awesome to hear!
I'm thinking of putting up a survey at the supply house and see if there is a demand for these types of pans. I could be their supplier.
This is a really good way to make a pan. I wish i would have watched this before i made mine.
Lot of people my not understand just how educational this video is, very nice work man.
Thanks a lot Martin!

Excellent ACservicetech!!
Thank you for your comment!
good job
Excellent video.
Thanks Melvin292!
been doing this for a while now. we used to solder the corners and hit them with some pan patch. this is a much better way to do it.
Thanks Rodney!
Same
Cool! That's gonna be very helpful for me.
Cool glad to help David!
Another Great video. I always wondered how that seamless drain pan was made. Thanks
Yeah, there are a lot of people soldering corners. You don't want to breath in the fumes from heated galvanized and you would also want to test it for leaks after soldering. Thanks Phillip Joy!
You da man! Genius!
Glad you enjoyed it Dan!
Finally good video on doing the corners. Thanks
Thanks Boys Rback!
acservicetech was that aluminium or galv how much are the "4×8" sheets. ' need 36" ×69" make for chimney chase cover no hole.
My price is currently $17.50 for 26 gauge. You could use 26 gauge or even better, 24 gauge. Make sure to cross break the whole pan then from diagonal corner to corner so rain runs off then. I have replaced quite a few out there because they didn't have a cross break, water sat and rotted them, thanks!
acservicetech Thanks fell asleep. Yeah I was planning on dia. Bends
For water runoff.
Nice video, Thank you
Glad to help RA!
Nice job
Thanks Phillip!
Thumbs Way Up!
Thanks a lot Martin!
Great video Craig. Here in S. Florida metal is a rarity so there's not many tin-knockers to learn from.
nice video thank you.
Thanks Ron!
Let’s go brandon 🍦🍦🍦
Awesome sheet metal videos! Can you make more videos on sheet metal? Usually we buy the pans but this is way better and cheaper alternative...material wise. I just subscribed!!
Thanks and I would like to in the future. It was great to hear that you appreciated the video!
Nice trick
Thanks Extrangulador!
This is a Great instructional video if you are in the business, not so good for an amateur DIY or weekend warrior.
Hey guillermone1, the videos are for those trying to break into the HVACR field or those in school or already in the field. I have no way of designating these like that, thanks!
Great explanation. You are doing a great work with these videos. Can you do one explaining why undersized ductwork , low blower speed motor, collapsed ductwork, dirty air filter and a restriction will cause a freeze on the coil.
Because the restriction due to the various items you noted slow down the flow of air across the coil, which in turn transfers less heat into the coil from the warm air, causing the temperature to drop too low, causing freezing of condensate.
Nice
Thanks Steve!
Wow, that's neat. What is material--galvanized? Can you show how to make the square "hole" in the middle so it's a perimeter pan, please?
I have made many pans before the Goliath pans have come out and wish I was taught this way 20 years ago.
Thanks for this video. Lots of info. I found the more shallow the pan I want to make, the more difficult it is to bend the corners. Any tricks? Subbed
I always make the pan with 1.5" or 2" high lips. Another thing you can do with this technique is if you flip the pan over and cross break it, it can be a chimney termination as well, thanks!
Excellent. One could probably practice the corners with a piece of paper first until the corner comes naturally but great
Actually bending the crease is fairly hard without something like tin. I had an adult student that tried to practice with aluminum but it was fairly hard compared to tin, thanks!
AC Service Tech LLC - so I guess doing it my first time with galvanized steel ain't gonna happen! Thanks
This is awesome! Thanks!
Would a box pan brake be used the same way?
Yes and a box and pan break would be even more beneficial in regards to bending up the final two sides of the pan, thanks
My secondary drain pan is rotted and needs to be replaced. The unit is mounted above my drop ceiling tiles. It’s suspended under my air handler and both are hanging from steel support rods and beams. How do I remove the pan and replace it with another? Can I just put a bed pan inside the rotted one?
i tried doing this for the fist time by hand the other day. just figuring it out, using only hand tools, i did it not as neat and the lips aint as high as they need to be. thanks
Yeah you need to bend the 2 or 2.5" lips with a brake or plywood edge and it takes some getting used to but after works really good, thanks!
I just made one in 22 gauge galvanized I think that’s way too thick it was very hard to bend... what gauge do you guys usually use?
26 gauge for pans. You could use 24 but that is a little thick as well.
can this method be used if the sides are deeper, say 8"-10"?
The method yes, the tool for doing that bend angle would need to be different, thanks
Great video. What’s the thickness of the metal sheet
26 gauge, thanks!
AC Service Tech LLC
Thanks
noyce!
Thanks cookytrix!
What material is this?
26 gauge sheet metal
badass pan.
never did understand the drain in the pan. defeats purpose.. on usually that's where they leak.
Yup, that's right. I can't believe how many times I find pans with a hole in them. Even the pan manufacturers precut a hole, ha!?
acservicetech
usually the float switches are bypassed also. lol
Ha, not good!
Lol sheet metal teaching license...because you need certification in bending and soldering/brazing metal?
malisimoo
Thanks Dami!
