41. Turn or Offset in Other than Rectangular Basement Trick

It's pretty simple to run a trunk line in the rectangular basement and if you need to turn it and make an offset you can use a flat 90* and a couple of flat 45*. But what would you do if the basement's walls made at a 74* angle to each other or any other odd angle and they give you only three flat 45* for both?

My co-worker suggested use of canvases. Well, I don't think that one canvas would make additional 29* angle and the installation in this case would looks like... highly unprofessional, to say the least. So, I resolved this issue in 5 minutes and in about 2 hours this part of the job (one duct turn and an offset) was done.

42. How to Pierce Duct Six Times Faster Trick

I knew this trick for many years but never used it. All these years, just like many of you, to pierce a duct or furnace jacket I have used a screwdriver and a hammer. This method requires at least five hits with a hammer and then the slit should be pulled up on one side to accommodate red aviation offset snips or electric shears.

So from now on I’m doing that at least six times faster!

43. How to Fix Broken Make-up Air Cap

Next step is to fix broken caps.  If you would like to learn this simple trick please click on the Buy Now button below and for the price of only $1.00 find out how to do it!

44. How to Cut Oval Stack in Exterior Wall Tip

In many HVAC companies the ductwork installers are separated: some of them doing only Rough-ins, while others only basements. The problem is the roughers don’t know or rather don’t care what the basement ductwork installers will do after their part of installation is done!

In the picture to the left you can see an example of such attitude. This oval stack is too long for any kind of fitting and part of it should be cut out.

But if an oval stack is somewhere in the middle of the basement it’s not a problem, mach more difficult if it sits in the exterior wall.

45. How to Make Round End Cap with Hand Tools 

Sometimes, especially when you’re finishing your basement off or working on a finished basement project, you need to relocate a heat run.

The price is $1.00.

46. How to Keep an S-cleat in Place Trick

Pretty often an opening for the cold air return falls at the duct’s end. In this case while connecting next duct you can’t slide an S-cleat, because it won’t catch a narrow slice of the previous duct. But you can’t put an S-cleat on either, because during connection it might fall down. So, what can you do?

47. Canvas Connection Tip

This canvas connection tip applies to those who don’t use S-cleat-slide method. Usually, when you’re trying to lead S-sides of the duct to the S-cleats on the canvas on the opposite side, the canvas is stretching out and making all kind of difficulties to the process. But there is a solution and for the low price of only $1.00 you can learn how to make it work without a single drop of sweat!
