Make Field Transitions on Prefabricated Metal Duct

[@TanweerAhmed]

Good for learning

[@monteglover4133]

I am a 40+ year HVAC&R service tech now semiretired. The sheet metal series is interesting because I never really learned that, along with learning some of the current practices. Thank You for your videos

I needed this, best reducer video I've watched....I bought this reducer but didn't know how to use

[@dazz318]

I have been an installer for over 20 years when I first started I was taught to cut seams with hack saw first then use snips to cut duct. Now I just use the grinder all the way saves time. But I would never make a transition like that, always get them fabricated from the shop.

[@dukebbb6539]

That is so true, if the job can be done on the same day then it's ok. Otherwise I just order get whatever i need for the next day.

Love the work! Really like this format also. Faster pace which you can slow down in settings to get more detail. Great chillstep. And allowing different techs to shine. Bryan and the team really "show and prove" they got the skills to pay the bills.

Great job, Ed! Thanks for the demonstrations! 👍

[@eduardkhachaturyan1189]

Thank you.

Nice to see metal work represented. Any installer who can’t fabricate on-site is a glorified helper in my opinion. I say that as a service tech who started off as an installer years ago. I hope guys don’t stop learning the whole trade. Having that background helps me to see the big picture when I walk onto a job and it keeps me from becoming a “parts changer” rather than a good tech. It’s crazy how many failures are ultimately due to crappy ductwork.

Thats not fabrication

[@peteywheatstraws4909]

@@johnathindonelson4064 You're nit picking over the term "fabrication", in my opinion. He is modifying a piece that was fabricated in a shop. Therefore, retrofitting, field fabricating, modifying, reworking, are all terms that can be applied here. It still takes fabrication knowledge and techniques to successfully pull it off. Give the man some credit, he deserves it.

I’m defenetly a glorified helper I guess

[@jasonshepherd6864]

I enjoy seeing these videos. Never having worked install myself it's great to see how it's done.

[@hevar4856]

It's good

[@Oscarbm1234]

You should have Eric M do a video on a plenum duct board transition. He’s a god at that.

[@joeshearer1247]

Oscarbm1234 full ductboard series from Eric

[@Oscarbm1234]

@@joeshearer1247 I spend a full hour at that while he knocks it out in 15 mins.

[@sdsd4284]

What's Eric M channel?thanks in advance

[@ryanrega3899]

Just use a grinder or sawzall next time to cut the duct in half like that. You can always clean up the cut (if you need to) with the grinder afterwards as well.

[@pf5658]

You have mad skills.

[@andrewcsteen]

This comment is really for your recent podcast on getting the most out of online training. In it your guest suggested trying to teach someone else what you yourself are trying to really understand and make concrete. This is a method that has been around for a long time in surgical medicine. The traditional method of teaching surgery is known as "see one, do one, teach one. Just an FYI.

[@hvacspecialist22]

Thanks for your video.

[@WillieMakeit]

Great job man

[@Mrcarloserwtf]

I always make transitions from the bigger duct to the smaller size , 18x10 and reduce one side to 16x10 etc , never seen this style

WHAT TOOL DO YOU USE FOR BEN THE 10MM PART

[@antonioaguilar9386]

How to do Offset

[@christiandonnelly2319]

Could you demonstrate how to build an on-site duct offset? Most people tend to choke the airflow trying to make theirs work when they’re not fortunate enough to have a prefabbed on on the truck. Must be a dying art...probably shouldn’t be...

[@eduardkhachaturyan1189]

Stay tuned, will do...

[@Sctronic209]

Your a true craftsman.

This is what it looks like when a service guy tries to do duct work

Doing installs for 8 years and working with a company that has a metal shop with breaks and Pittsburgh machine I would 100% consider this guy a hack job

[@dannyparrack6848]

A slower, more detailed video would have been nice...

[@deanburke3041]

Go to a shop first. Airflow is more important than doing it yourself. This is demented. For foreigners & immigrants only.

That's a fine looking high horse!
