Hello new construction and remodeling air duct techs.
I am the owner of a 40+ yr family HVAC-R company in Phoenix AZ,
I am presently doing a complete gut, layout and install of a 3 BR home in the Phoenix area.
This is a flat roof home and currently the ceilings have been removed from all areas where I am installing the new duct system, so all good there.
My question, (for those honestly have more than a little experience air duct systems):
Once the new air duct system is installed and the ceiling is then re-installed, any branch dampers will be inaccessible for adjustment.
Would it cause any problems if the needed dampers were installed down stream toward the end of the runs?
I'm talking far enough in so the face air flow will not be terribly disrupted but can still be adjusted by sticking an arm 18" to 24" into the register box to make any necessary small adjustments?
I'd really appreciate what your thoughts and, and even better, what is your experience with this?
Thank you,
GoodOlJoe
