That was a massive amount of help. After trying to figure it out on my own, I just couldn’t get it right, but knew there had to be a logical way to do this. With your help, I got it on the first try. Perfect 90 degree angle! I now have my sanity back. Thank you so much!

[@Know-How-Now]

You're welcome! It seems like it should be so easy to get the correct bend, but becomes Rubik's cube.

[@justmejerry56]

Thank you for your explanation!!! I watched 4 other videos and could not understand how to make a right angle - as the videos were way too complicated. Thanks to your video and your clear concise articulation of the nuances and steps, I was able to make a 90° angle!!!

[@Know-How-Now]

It's my pleasure to help. Best wishes for you project.

[@Justin-mb8ve]

All small sides on same side easy

[@seaphotog]

You saved me -- I'd been staring and adjusting and just couldn't get the venting to work at a strange angle from my range/fan-hood. The tape tricks were brilliant

[@lakermark2006]

ive never worked with these before and when i picked up my order, i thought they gave me the wrong piece (because it was straight). now it all makes sense, sheesh, i was going to bend these into a 90 degree angle before watching this video

[@johndrazic7665]

Once again I’m saved by smart people. Thank you, brilliant!

[@Know-How-Now]

You are welcome, John.

[@johnserrano9689]

Really is stunning just how many guys really have no idea the adjustable 90's like that are FULLY adjustable lol Spot of video, with excellent subject

[@mpxz999]

You're a genius, you're awesome, and you explain things so clearly that even I could do something right! Thank youuu!

[@Know-How-Now]

You are welcome. I do my best to post high quality videos on the channel.

[@dean3583]

Great idea with the tape!.

[@charlesgardner7399]

Wonderful. I've been looking for this. Exactly what I need and you make it very easy. THANKS SO MUCH.

[@Know-How-Now]

You are welcome, Charles. It's my pleasure to help.

[@scind2585]

Great video. Putting the tape on the long side keeps the planes of the two ends iat 45 degree.

[@georgefranklin3222]

Thank you for your clear explanation. Very helpful!.

[@Know-How-Now]

You are welcome, George. Thank you for the compliment.

[@tonyk2145]

Thank you so much

[@Know-How-Now]

You are welcome, Tony.

[@danthewalsh]

The resulting angle here will be a sharper turn (closer to 90 degrees) than the desired 45 degree angle. To get a 45 degree angle, you want to rotate by about a third of a turn (rather than a quarter turn as instructed here).

[@neohubris]

thanks, now I know how

[@Know-How-Now]

You are welcome.

[@kevinstanton7338]

How do you adjust it to fill a gap?

[@AlwaysHopeful87]

Thank you.

[@Know-How-Now]

You're welcome.

[@I.call.shenanigans]

Good for showing you the best way to make a smoothest 45% Well near the end the math and the explanation gets convoluted and would be better if the video was just chopped off at 3:15 All 3 make the angle each goes from 0 to 30% The middle one doesn't make the 90 it makes 30% the other 2 joints do not continue on they add 30% each also. 30+30+30= 90 The machine that stamps it out could just stamp out a few setting to make it a even better no brainer.

[@richardsanchez6993]

I was at Lowes walking down the isle when I noticed this duct elbow in a box sitting straight up. I thought for sec before I realized that it made sense to have them up for shipping purposes. I grab one and thought "it can't be that hard, a combination of twist and turns". Twenty five minutes later, I threw it in the box and said "I ain't got the time for this BS!

[@hammer326]

great video! I'm working with some old pipe not only on the bigger side (10") but used and a bit dirty; anything to use or NOT to use to lube it back up a bit? I take it WD-40 can't hurt to try?

[@Know-How-Now]

It can't hurt, you could try some spray silicone too.

[@sksmaster]

SOS!!! 🆘. Как это сделано? Что за станок? it’s done 🤷‍♂️???

[@tobymason5332]

Where did you get your pipes?

[@Know-How-Now]

Lowes, I used this elbow for a dryer vent that I changed from a plastic flexible one to a hard pipe. I made a video on how to do it, if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGWnYnSBqsqKd8k

[@kortneekuizenga8591]

Yes I did watch the videos and it's not a flat plane 45 like I said so no she didn't

[@danthewalsh]

Yes, it’s not perfectly flat. The relative rotations of the modules are alternated to create a slight zig-zagging path that ultimately gives the desired angle.

[@NPC-et9ik]

It is impossible to lick your own elbow. Try it.

[@chrisser5501]

Like a f’ing rubics cube

[@kortneekuizenga8591]

It's impossible to make a 45 on a flat plane with an adjustable 90

[@mwredfern]

looks like she did it! did u watch the video?

[@jwkolm]

Thanks, I've been twisting and twisting for 30 minutes and couldn't get 90 degrees.

[@Know-How-Now]

You are welcome, Joe.

[@isaiahm2044]

DO NOT WEAR GLOVES! they are sharp but ive done these barehand no problem. with gloves on im either using too much force or dirt gets trapped in between the seems. DO NOT WEAR GLOVES, go very slow if you are worried about cutting yourself

[@ericrogers3147]

Your know. How now should be called know how not

[@Know-How-Now]

Hi Eric. I do like constructive criticism. A meaningful comment would be appreciated, perhaps you can tell the viewers how this is done.

[@andrewthomas1961]

I thought your video was quick and helpful... not to mention taking the high road when the trolls come out. Keep up the good work!

[@Know-How-Now]

Thanks Andrew. The channel has over 3 million views and I can count on 2 hands the people who have left mean comments. It's always just a handful of people who cause most of the trouble in the world.

[@gastondebiassi6231]

Horrible explanation, she definitely needs to go back to elementary school

[@Know-How-Now]

Ummm Gaston, the video has 44,000 views with 433 likes and 18 dislikes. That's a 96% positive rate.... everyone else understands the explanation. You are also the only one to write a personal insult in the comments.
