Exactly I’m a licensed contractor in Detroit Our inspectors would flag that right away they don’t play The takeoffs are cramped why not follow that direction all crimped ends must be facing the direction of the boots only way you can get away with that is you would have to use that commercial graded tape or a caulk silver

Do you tape all your joints with metal duct tape so as not to have any air leaks? That's what I usually do so all of the air goes inside of the room and not inside of the wall.😀

At any rate, I enjoy your videos. Thanks again

After installing my house's entire ducting system recently, there are some things I think I should point out that I have learned through extensive research and experiments in my home. 1. Be careful about tapping off existing ductwork. Duct work sizes are chosen based on the room dimensions and amount of times you require the air to circulate per hour. By adding another ducting branch off a main duct, you are reducing air pressure to all other rooms attached to that duct. In my case, I carefully sized my main duct based on clearance (hiding behind basement wall) and number of rooms it branches off to (and costs). It is sized JUST RIGHT. If someone down the road decided to add a duct, it would most certainly reduce pressure noticeably to all the rooms attached to it. 2. On that note, you need to also be judicious on where your tap is on the main duct. Having two duct branches too close to one another kills the pressure because it looks like one giant branch. Airflow follows the path of least resistance. If the furnace's output CFM isn't high enough, all of the air will flow out this "giant branch" and pressure will never build to vent to the other rooms. Vent size vs airflow is NOT a linear relationship!! 3. In the video, he mentions reducing to 5" to increase pressure. While this is true, it also kills the AMOUNT of air getting into the room (measured in CFM). The size of the duct should be dictated by the dimensions of the room and how quickly you want the air to by cycled. As a general rule of thumb, a 6" round duct carries 100 cfm of air (if there aren't a ton of bends and inefficiencies). Reducing to 5" reduces the airflow to 60 cfm! 40% loss! The air will indeed leave the duct at a higher velocity, but it is likely that you wont get ENOUGH air to effectively heat the room at the speed you want! Quantity is more important than velocity IMO. If the vent is outputting a large amount of air, that air WILL fill the entire room. You don't need velocity for this to happen if the CFM is high enough. 4. All ducts should be SEALED! The best way is by using mastic sealant, but you can also use tape (NOT duct tape, but the shiny foil tape meant to seal ducts). Having the leaks in joints will reduce air pressure and waste energy. 5. (not as important as the previous 4) If you are installing a supply vent, you also need to make sure the return vent first off, exists, and second, is large enough to accommodate the added air supply. If this isn't done, air pressure in the room will increase which will make it hard for the furnace to pump in more air, and will squeeze the hot air out of the room to the easiest path of flow (which is likely through the exterior wall).

@TheRealRobM

great info. thanks for posting these details about quantity (volume) vs velocity (cfm). this answers a few of my questions in regards to some duct changes that I just made on the weekend. my finished rec room in the basement is about 14' x 46' and there were 3 x 5" pipe 4" x10" ducts feeding the room about 6' off the floor (or, only about 3' from the ceiling). all 3 are on one side of the room (on the long wall). in between two of the ducts are stairs leading up to the main floor. I'm not sure why they were done this way as what seems like almost all of the warm air entering the room vacates up the stairwell immediately. there is only ONE cold air return 14"x 6" for this entire room (near the bottom of the stairwell). I modified 2 of the accessible ducts (from an unfinished storage area) and extended them down to enter the room about 8" off the floor, reducing the 5" pipe to a 4" in 4" x 10" 90 outlets. thinking it would force more air out (as theory would suggest) now seems like the warm air just trickles out the two vents. I'll be changing the 90's to 5" and hope that helps less restriction of the outlets. these two ducts I modified are literally only 16' and 24' from the furnace (if measuring along the main heating duct). there are a few ducts that lead elsewhere onto the main or upper floors that do not have dampers installed off of this main duct. I'll be adding dampers to reduce output to those vents as well. hopefully, this helps with the volume of warm air making it's way into this room. it's the room we spend most of our time in during evenings (home theatre type setup). should my cold air return be larger as well ??

Pretty sure you aren't supposed to put heat registers to the floor in a basement. If the basement is finished add a cold air return at floor level. That will increase the airflow around the room and pull the hot air down. Heat doesn't like to be pushed down. It naturally rises. Just feel the difference between a register in the cieling in the basement and the floor. They leave the registers at the top because it is where they belong in the basement.

Hello, I'm finishing a basement and was going to just tap into the ducts that will be above the ceiling and have the boot in the ceiling. Though it would be easier, I never did understand why you would want that because heat rises and the heat wouldn't make it to the floor. Your video confirms my thought and I'll be running down the wall so the heat will be coming out close to the floor. Thanks for the video.

The point of reducing the duct size is to increase pressure so the heat exits the line at a greater speed so it crawls along the floor into the room before rising. Not to increase the amount of air.

Great video. Thanks so much. Here in Canada taking the heat down to floor level will make a huge difference. If viewers can bring down existing basement ceiling heat runs, it should not change the balance much. Start there with those if possible..Then when adding completely newly tapped ones , like this, you may want extra cold air return volume at floor level to balance the additional outflow. That will get the heat moving across that cold floor. DIYers should always wear gloves and safety glasses for this (I am sure the presenter would normally do so ...wink wink). You are a really nice guy ...so you can always add a small text overlay at the beginning of these videos mentioning Safety precaution. It could save someone's eyesight and nerve damage in a hand...really Again. Excellent easy upgrade that can make a HUGE difference to your basement comfort. So I want to say thanks because it's easy to be an armchair critic, but putting this video together is a lot of work and a big help...so thanks again.

After duct work was installed in a second floor addition in my house, I discovered a fiberglass sleeve (for lack of a better term) surrounded by plastic going from the plenum to the different room wall registers. This same type sleeve is also handling the cold air returns. I thought this "sleeve" was covering metal duct which, I believed, was used to help keep warm air (or cool air) from dissipating while moving from the furnace to the different room wall registers. I was stunned to learn this was actually being used as the duct itself. When I contacted the HVAC installer, he said this is what is used. I basically said "bullshit". He basically said "tough shit". I had no money to fight this guy and/or the contracter and now, with the arrival of winter again, the second floor rooms are uncomfortably cold and soon enough the lack of snow on the roof is again the telltale sign where the heat is going. I have a few extra bucks and my plan is to buy snap lock pipe and install metal to every wall register and back from every cold air return. I was advised I could do this to help contain the heat. It sounds plausible enough but could you comment before I spend any more money? Thanks in advance! - Dan

Always best to have the Heat vents on the floor, then the return vent on the ceiling. And have them separated across the room, that way, air has to circulate from the floor of one side, to the ceiling on the opposite side, which is essentially making air flow through the entire room. Hope this helps.

Awesome video. One question. I see you there is insulation between the wire and the duct. Is it needed? Can a 14/2 touch the ac/heating duct when wiring for lights?

Home RenoVision DIY Awesome. Thank You so much. I’ve been researching local Lowe’s, Menards, and also Menards around me for the bottom exit air part that you screwed in on top of the 2x4. What’s the actual name of the part where the air comes out of it? I’ve been typing in,”heating ducts and not getting anywhere. I’m at this part now before my Insulation. I could really use your help again. Please help. Btw. You have the best step x are hands on videos out. You not only explain in limens terms, but you also show us as well. Can’t beat that. Please keep these kind of videos coming. I’ve done a lot of diy projects with your help. Thanks so much. Cheers.

Is that a 2x6 wall? Is that the only dimension wall you can do this in? What about an exsisting basement reno in a 2x4 wall

This may have been covered but would it be good to be sealing all the joints to help with efficiency and pressure? I like the mastic grey sealant I am seeing in my new house.

Yes it would. However if it leaks it’s just into the basement anyway. If it’s in an unconditioned space it’s a big issue. No duct tape for ducts. .use mastic.

How many times can you tap into that hot air supply duct before the pressure is affected? I have a 30 foot long basement and the supply duct runs across it perpendicularly at ~ 8 foot mark - in order to put 3 vents in I would need 3 taps into the supply - what would be the pressure affect on the system ?

Hi Jeff. I’m a member and curious if you or any other members have a fix for a vent that is short to the floor by a few inches. How do I extend a floor vent so the ductwork reaches the tile floor?

Question, how about air return? Can it be close to the ceiling and hot air close to the floor? How about vice versa? Like hot air at the ceiling and return close to floor? Which option is best? Thanks
