[@bonezolinger1327]

straight to the point no promoting the channel,no give away updates,etc I believe this is the best tutorial I have ever seen on KZbin

[@atheldown]

I struggled with pipes all day yesterday, two minutes after this video I'm snapping it together like a pro tin-knocker! thanks man.

[@mercadomarcos]

This is helpful, but I would love to see a close up on how it looks before and after it locks.

[@epeterson711]

Hey dude!!! That idea to stick up flathead screwdriver into the the ridge in between the lip of the duct is pretty ingenious! I've been doing this for 8 or 9 years and I still have never thought of that!! (But the times that I have had to snap together 10 foot sticks of 26 gauge 4-in round duct is extremely few and far between so... ) THANK YOU very much for that "TRICK" I've been trying to snap together 10 footers of 4-in 26 gauge round ductwork it's been an absolute nightmare until now!! So thank you for trick! I really appreciate it

[@auronedgevicks7739]

you're probably here because you bought one of these pieces of junk from home depot. The problem is the middle is puffed out making it super difficult to fit together. What you do is lay it down and just push and bend each side (male and female) inwards as much as you can. Always push from the center. Eventually the sides will snap in and you can finish off the rest.

You’re an angel. The 8in was easy but this 6in sucks butt.

[@jordanlegg5891]

[@debbies6512]

Opening up the female side worked for me. Thank you!

[@Aplexity]

Thank you. I struggled for 10 minutes before I decided to look it up and figured it out right away after watching your tips.

[@lpritt9211]

Sounds like a plan. I'm heading for the basement. Thank you for the help. I was becoming really frustrated and getting cuts on my hands.

[@beachbabi3927]

So for us dummies which is the female side and which is the male side?

[@clarkwilliams4790]

Thank you! Great to see how this is supposed to work. I was afraid I was doing something wrong when it didn't snap together easily.

[@derricktaylor470]

Thanks for this video, I got it within a few seconds after watching this. 👍

[@chrisg.sellers3295]

Nice tips, and nice quack mixed in :) Thank you.

[@lexconor8498]

Yeah but now how do I insert one length into the next length? Just doesn't want to go in

[@BillAsch]

This helped, thanks for posting!!!

[@hectorposada1512]

How can you do that in a 28 gauge metal for 4 in pipe ? Any tips

[@aurora.the.explorer]

I do I have some concerns that widening the female end will result in a less sturdy seal. Also-- Reading the other comments here made me feel better about how frustrating this is, thanks guys

[@zanaraz989]

That looked easy , now it's my turn lol

[@dougdays8095]

Ugh..thanks brother ❤

[@CooledgeR]

Try that with a 4" pipe and all that happens is a dented or crushed pipe. Ask me how I know that.

[@jonblackburn5934]

I just did it with a 4" duct fine. I'm here to see if you should run foil tape down the seam.

[@CooledgeR]

yes.@@jonblackburn5934

[@auronedgevicks7739]

why doesn't it even come opened

[@rf4215]

do you then tape the outside seam? what about the inside?

[@JosEPh-zy3yr]

No Tape on either side!

[@rf4215]

@@JosEPh-zy3yr Thx. I did use snap lock pipe for my dryer vent approx 12' run and I did tape the seam on the outside. Seems the better it is sealed, the better it will transfer the dryer exhaust.

[@brianmedeiros417]

Thank you!

[@TheSteelheadStation]

Try doing it after it's been up for a few years

[@fakename7570]

Can you come over and show me?

[@johnt13]

Thanks, 4" is a bitch and your bend method made it easier.

[@Hili24pur]

give me a friggin close up I see NOTHING

[@kirkkipling3250]

any tricks for 3" snap lock duct?

[@stillaliveandwell5291]

It's the worst. I finally found a local sheet metal duct supply house and they are cheaper than the big box stores and the pipe is already put together.

[@pearlperlitavenegas2023]

Thx

[@creamtopperwazoo1867]

Oh sure. Just like that!🤣

[@TacoCrisma]

Should probably show what you’re doing and not film it 20 feet away

[@DntRepeat]

So my plan for using these around a tree as a rat guard may be fruitless

[@masoncotton9269]

Yea this snap duct shit is the biggest pain in the ass

[@paullachance6113]

Yeah let's see a 4 inch duct....no so easy as a 10 inch

[@sharingan7414]

Try that with a 6” pipe 🫠

[@lasvegascream1799]

Try learning this at work. Mfs won't teach you shit

[@kcmaldonado3948]

Which one is the female side? What if my sheet metal is transgender? Just kidding.

[@SwellsSmells]

If you stop to think about it, a single piece of pipe has both male and female sides to it. So it is poly gender or perhaps a hermaphrodite.

[@halfassranch8363]

This shits a bitch if you don't follow these steps. I cut the hell outta my hands last night.

[@rogerhale6404]

Now…..try a 3" pipe !!

[@lasvegascream1799]

Right..I had a five and started sweating 😭

[@rodentcafeteria]

@@lasvegascream1799 I had a 3" and starting crying. Nothing should be this difficult.
