Hi, my name is Rajvir. I’m from HVAC Technical Academy and today we’re going to be discussing duct board and how it works, where it’s in the system, and what it’s used for. So, right here we have our duct board laid out. I’ve done my first two cuts. It’s going to be 10 by 10 each cut. So, let’s do the last two cuts. So, we’re going to use our square and use our cutter. Make sure the sled’s facing forward. Apply even pressure. And then for our last cut, we have three

blades. We’re going to cut the excess off. And be careful not to get it on your skin. It’s very itchy. So after we made our cuts, then you’re able to assemble it into a plenum. So, you’d use staples and then you’d use tape and then your box would be sealed and it would look something like this, which then goes on top of the air handler with fab and mastic to make sure it’s sealed and has proper air flow and insulation. So basically what the duct board or plenum does is it supplies

insulated air throughout the ducts which are in your attic, come out the registers, and help air condition your house. A couple things—if you check for if it’s going bad, it could discolor and leak air and then ultimately cause you to have high energy bills because it’s not working efficiently. The ducts go on with a collar and then you’re able to mastic these on as well and then they’re just hung up and then back to the register.

Yeah, that’s pretty much all I have to say today. And my name is Rajvir from HVAC Technical Academy and have a nice day.
