Don’t ask your builder ask the HVAC guy who is doing the work. The builder is just going to call him anyways they don’t know shit.

[blipblop]

Feel like your builder just going to say "dont worry it will work".

My builder told me he's the professional and to stop asking questions 🙂

[jpakaferrari]

This is the same guy who thinks it's okay to have the fancy vents that restrict airflow.

[harleyberanek]

Its not pinched but it should be strapped once more for a clean look an it will get the Rollercoaster look out of it

[ottokriete]

like your builder is gonna know his ass from his

That soft duct is crap, don’t use it unless you absolutely have to.

I’ve been in hvac for 20 years that flex is not kinked at all
If it was Kinked where air flow was compromised then the inspector probably would have caught it

[jacobroberson]

It doesn't hurt to ask the contractor to put pieces of insulation underneath the hanging straps to prevent kinking and sweating.

[dantatro]

It looks to almost be pinched. So is it pinched or not. It looks OK but another strap wouldn't hurt

[ryno]

That insulated flex duct is trash. It cuts so much cfm per foot it insane. It’s the sign of a subpar contractor and I’d tell that builder to get some actually duct work in there or he could pack his shit and leave. With a knowledge of duct work and some initiative you can hard pipe just about anything. It’ll save money in the long run because it will transfer heated and cooled air more efficiently thus reducing run time. Will probably save thousands over a 30 year period.
