Wrapp'n Alaskan mechanical insulation

[@mech827]

Man I was monkeying around duct and pipe today! Hospital renovations are ALWAYS fun. I was in the grid all week last week. Had to cut out a wall to be able to stand and get 90”s onto 3” 2”and 1” Domestic water lines.

[@wrappnalaskan]

Lmao...yep...hospital reno's BLOW... We have an in with a local hospital and they throw us all there work... Job security is good but snaking a 12' ladder through the grid and crawling on VAV boxes is not! Keep up the good fight!

[@mech827]

You too and thanks for the channel! It helps to know I’m not alone. Lmao

[@peacelover4713]

Great job

[@benjicinniamon2849]

Man what a hole looks like roof drains im guessing

[@wrappnalaskan]

@@benjicinniamon2849 yep! 6 feet above the grid on top of a return air duct... friggin hospital remodels lol

Guess this is a trade where being small might be an advantage as opposed to a hinderance. Keep getting told the trades will be difficult for me being small but this looks like it might be a good fit.

[@wrappnalaskan]

1000%

[@wrappnalaskan]

I've been waiting for a moment to expand on this...absolutely our trade favors smaller people... if it's a renovation especially... on new construction, it could be weeks/months between mechanical install and the inspections that let us begin our scope...in that time it's a regular thing for other trades to do their work and limit our access

[@insulatoru8817]

I can’t really think of a trade that not being fat doesn’t help 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@billygraff8073]

WHAT A HOLE😂 well done brother. You and I both know us skinny guys have been thrown in much worse than this but it’s just another day in paradise! Ps. You were born for this, long sleeves are for boys. Men don’t itch 😂😂😂

[@wrappnalaskan]

Lol for real.... I appreciate the love, bro... "Just another day in paradise" 🤘

[@geminisruiz6967]

good job

[@wrappnalaskan]

Yeah man, this was a tight one.... Up here in Alaska rain pipe sweats really really bad

[@victortrevino5260]

Good job brother, I know the feeling of being there, like that trying to install insulation. Keep up the good work.

[@wrappnalaskan]

Thanks brother...we definitely have our fair share of tight spaces... I've been working on (top 3) one of the worst jobs of my career...its gonna be a great video for some perspective lol... Stay-up man!

[@FahzyGraphics]

Do u have any other forms of social media?

[@FahzyGraphics]

Or an email I could use to contact you?

[@divulgewithchip1099]

Is it mandatory to go to apprenticeship? Or can I just slide in with an company? Seems like the work can’t be that hard. I have laborer experience

[@wrappnalaskan]

This video represents a very small portion of what we do...the metal work alone we do takes years to master

[@johnaglukark1356]

Used to be in IT over 10 years started as a labourer in construction few years ago and got into this not much after. No no education needed if your job is to wrap and get a vapour seal. But my work looks like an earth quake shook only the pipes next to this guys work, im still learning and always come back here to watch for tips

[@joshmiller8528]

It takes no time to master. It’s a simple job that takes minimal skill. Anyone can master this joke of a trade in a few months.

[@billygraff8073]

@@joshmiller8528 5 years in and I still haven’t learned all of the complexities of mechanical insulation. You’re right, a monkey can wrap a duct. My 5 year old can wrap pipe. It takes a skilled individual to be considered a mechanic. Come to work with me tomorrow kid I’ll show you some craftsmanship. Unequal mono tees in rubber and pvc.

Lol, k

Insulating a grease waste line?

[@wrappnalaskan]

Grease line? That's rain liter pipe

[@topdawgentlv7029]

Hmmmphhh curious why would that be insulated. We insulate grease waste lines over here in our local. Nice channel btw

[@wrappnalaskan]

. thanks man!!! Yeah, it's rain pipe lol above a drop ceiling in a hospital...earthquake damage

[@Demigod08]

No Ppe? You’re not wearing a mask ?

[@wrappnalaskan]

Why? Fiberglass particles are too big to accumulate in the lungs... Plus I'm 13 feet above the floor...i could barely get in that space so a hard hat was unnecessary, no noise so ear plugs weren't necessary either... And working on my belly in a well lit space with the material below me, eye wear was also not needed... The only thing I needed was gloves
