Volume one would be good start.

:)

Thanks :)

Who makes the ones you use?

I make them, I don’t know if they’re sold. They’re as easy to make as an offset though.

At the point that the return drop enters the return trunk you have about 120 feet of equivalent resistance, that’s where the most improvement can be made. Doing something like this will help. Then...

It depends on the system and how much room you have. When you have a duct that’s say 8x25 going to 14x25 you don’t really need any but it looks better to have say a 6” radius any smaller and it gets...

Man o man.

Both metric and Imperial sizes. https://remstoolsusa.com/ Is where I get all my Rems tools and they are outstanding to deal with.

I’d say I save more money, especially on the larger fittings but it’s close.

I have a pvc heat box made by Greenlee.

Reclaimed wood.

Yes, I still solder sometimes though.

No better place to point it, it’s in a garage with no floor drain. In fact most of the boilers I install are in basements and they’re also just pointed to the floor.

:) I didn’t install the insulation so I had to cover the duct tape. I’m going back to finish when the upstairs floor is ready.

Thanks, Rems Curvo, Type L hard.

The way I’ve never had problems swaging is the old school way, in that it both compresses and expands at the same time, much less thickness loss. I also bought an expander that works on the same...

It's a return, just sucking in all that nice warm and humid attic air.

Man...

I also had a inadequate cooling call on a 9 year old system in a rental and found a r22 with a txv coil paired with a 410a condenser of late...

I remember in the 70s when oil went way up people switched to gas and when the gas went way up shortly after up some of them asked if they could switch back...

It's a U98V. When I pull oil furnaces out I try to get my customers to go with mods, less complaints.

If it's there when I go back tomorrow I'll take it off for you (I left the doors outside).

I turned it around since I didn't need the chimney.

That's the way the wall was, I didn't make the hole bigger.

It's a f100 in a Carrier box, they wanted to save money so I reused it.

Feast your eyes on today's twofer...

I've been in the hvac trades for over 40 years and I could probably count on one finger seeing a waterheater vented correctly and that was probably by "mistake"... Most use the hole that's already...

Whenever you feed into the branch of a tee, I call that a bull head tee.

This job took me a little over 8 hours total. Yes there's lots of old stuff in my neck of the woods.:)

They may just get a power vent water heater, otherwise I'll fix it.

I had a nice comfortable Sunday working on a carpeted floor.:)

If you were in my area I would.

Draft diverters aren't very good anyway, better to have a barometric draft control, what they did is cut the legs mostly off of this one making it even worse.

Variety is the spice of life.:)

Yes, they cut it way down. It's not going to help at all if there's a down draft.

:)

You didn't want to tie into that, where's your sense of adventure...

Man-o-man...

This furnace also had a air leak from the cover that joins the primary and secondary heat exchanger due to lack of sealant
