How-To Install a 45 Degree Saddle Tap on Round Duct - The Duct Shop

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Installing a 45 degree saddle tap on round duct can be a tricky task. Follow this step by step instructional to install them like a pro. Ensure you set up your saddle tap to face the direction of air flow. Once you are happy with the location, trace around the inside of the saddle tap with a marker on the round duct (it should be egg shaped). Drill a hole into the traced line with a unibit and carefully cut along the traced line with a set of sheet metal snips. Once you've made the hole, line up and secure the saddle tap with a screw in the back of the saddle tap. Then drill a screw into all four corners of the saddle taps skirt and seal with duct sealant.

    Hey great videos. simple instruction will help people save big bucks. I seen your struggle with cutting your take off hole. round duct is tricky to cut once snapped together. may I suggest an easier way to procure that pesky hole. start off by doing exactly what you did drilling a hole with a screw then using your unibit but instead of starting on the outside edge you start an inch maybe 2 inches off center of the hole and then what you do is you take a full spiral and a half before you actually reach your outline but when you start a little off center you make a spiral shape moving towards the outside what that does is relieves the tension from the center. you will be doing more cutting but it goes three times as fast and it's a lot easier and you don't make burrs on your edges. try it out and that would probably be a good video for you to put up

    Some gnarly fishhooks there bud, use offset snips for an easier cut.

    Screw your tap into the spiral before you trace. it makes lining up your cut out very simple.

    So if it's for an exhaust the saddle would be place on the duct facing the opposite direction or the direction of air flow?

    I can't figure out why the duct sealant is being applied outside the joint instead of between the 2 parts? Thanks

    Buddy you need more training before you can teach someone else. You should have put a sealant between the pipe and saddle.
