For methods 1 and 2, because the duct is an inch away from the back wall, mastic is applied to the back side from the top and bottom using fingers and for the hard to reach middle section with mastic on the end of a piece of drive. This becomes much harder when hanging duct that already has insulation on it. You need more room such as hanging the duct 3 to 4 inches away from the back wall. Near the drive ears, we usually fold the insulation inwards so it is tucked under itself until we make the connection, seal the duct and then the insulation can be pulled out and taped.

You are making a difference in the trade. Thank you for all you do for the industry!

[livshoemaker]

Invaluable! Thank you for helping out this struggling apprentice

Hey Craig, I am glad that you started showing ductwork. Could you also make a series about air distribution? I see a lot of installers in Canada doesnt know it and install furnaces, ac's not matching duct sizes. Consequently plenums bang, furnaces overheat, motors fail, HXs crack. Thank you for your work ✊🙏👍

I’m a DIYer but also an old carpenter. Did duct work with my pops many many years ago. This video was very helpful and brought back a bunch of memories. I remember we would spread the S-connectors just a bit and usually had to hammer them on. Probably bigger ductwork. Thank you for the video it’s very helpful

[Danny-fshk]

This guy is such an excellent teacher and the production level of these videos are great!

[Sctronic]

Most excellent. Your students are lucky to have you as there instructor.

Thanks for the video. There are many ways to hang, connect, insulate, and seal duct systems. Along with proper sizing and design you will avoid most problems.

Craig, I spent nearly 10 years doing mechanical demolition, and only a couple times installing it. Some of the ductwork we had to remove from the inside as it was in a hallway and had conduits/pipes in the way. Usually it was a trunk that came out and sometimes just branches. I've seen good installs, and bad ones, and what you taught in this video is good information. I actually designed and made some tools for the trade, however, someone copied my idea, so I didn't make anything on it. It was a tool that was made to pry off the backer plate from school fin tube systems.

Trade school didn't teach much about ductwork installation so this video is extremely helpful.

So you are a master sheet metal guy and a master tech. Super tech

[robertwilliams]

I always learn a lot from watching your videos thanks for all you do student of HVACR.

Dewalt of Milwaukee 🤔 team RED ALL THE WAY!! To each his own, great video Craig!!

[kodieivie]

Glad your doing some duct videos! Thanks! Can you make a video for adding and attaching a rectangular return air In the bottom of those ducts?

[davidstansbury]

Man thank you for this video. Thank you for your time and knowledge

[workhard]

Wow didn’t realize that mastic comes in a tube. Looks better doing it that way then it is using a paint brush to brush on the duct butter

You might investigate what we in the sheet metal workers (founded in 1888) have been using to make holes in hangers, duct, and sheet metal in general for over a century. William Whitney's (founded 1907) hole punch. Various size dies for every fastener size.
Proper tools.

A book about commercial/residential duct size tons calculation, cfms', etc soon? I like your videos and I will be the first one on line to order. 👍👏👏👏

[azrealgamer]
