The "W" ?
The 1 to 3 trunk split --> 1 hour 15 minutes
The trunk offset with reversal --> 1 hour
pneumatic shear breaking down --> 2 hours 45 minutes
Wishing I had a plasma table --> Priceless
This duct is located in the basement, so no insulation.
This is a Carrier MVP Furnace with Carrier TDB with Carrier ComfortZone
Thank you so much for the compliments. If you could, check out my other post regarding this in Residential HVAC --> http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?threadid=49263
I will find out if it works. I think it will nicely.

How did you convince them to give up all that space in the cieling? Around here they won't give you even 10"
I've had no books or training on sheet metal layout. I learned from practice. All you need to know is to keep your lines parrallel when you do fittings like these. Of Course, having 8 classes left for my bachelors in mechanical engineering helps also.
The only thing I've not done yet is triangulation. (For square to rounds and such) In the 6 or 7 years of doing this I've never needed to use triangulation, but I will of course learn that also just for self gratification and being able to say "yea, I can do that!"

That fitting looks sweet. Just wondering though, how big of a blower for this duct, and will it be enough when all zones are calling?
Also, how big of a return did you need?

Looks like all the pittsburghs were closed by hand or do you use a pneumatic hammer? These things are big time savers!Knight97 said:The "W" ?

I love how it looks. We have a guy that does some pretty stuff like that. Though it looks nice....please post about it's performance. I am just curious...looks that there would be some troublesome turbulence noise or reduced air flow. Though I think the air flow will be fine....if it is noisy, wrap it with insulation and see how it sounds....but it will cover your work of art.
Exactly! Closing by hand leaves ridges, which look great on Ruffles!sparks said:The deeper hammer marks.Some edges still up in the left corner.Knight97 said:how can you tell they were closed by hand?
yea, I want one too.
Im not knocking the quality just explaining.
A pneumatic hammer leaves the edge very smooth and closes them fast! Not complaining either, just curious. I still say they are great looking fittings.1 - 20 of 30 Posts
