As a building inspector I’ve attended lots of training over the past 19 years. I have to say I’ve learned more with your videos in minutes than I’ve learned over countless hours of training. Thank you !

[@archicorner]

It is comments like this that keep me going. Having people in the field like you stopping to give encouragement is very much appreciated! THANKS!

@@archicorner keep doing this sir. I'm interning atm & this was recommended by a coworker who also watches your vids. I've never had interests in HVAC. But because of this drawing and your explanation, it makes me want to explore more. :)

That is awesome! I hope you continue to like the channel’s content. I appreciate you leaving a comment.

[@ibrahimn.j.4943]

Thanks!! A question, why would we want a fire damper in the dynamic HVAC system since we want it to remain open so smoke extracted?

[@yeehawongi4920]

Hi, can you make a video about fire wrap vs fire damper?

[@tahernabieh6096]

how about in the exhaust duct in the kitchen, fire damper installed or no?

[@joshjames253]

thanks for this, but do you have any video about horizontal assemblies and fire/smoke dampers?

[@archicorner]

Not yet, but good idea
