MechAcc-
I have seen that video, it is an eye opener
I am always amused to see the use of the square throat/radius heel elbow on a big commercial job. It is usually a dead giveaway that the the work was performed by a residential shop.
I had the pleasure of meeting a fellow from the ITI that had a lot of input into the making of that video. He had just retired and was moving from CA to somewhere in the Smokey Mountains. Being that he had worked his life in union sheet metal, he insisted on finding a union shop to install the duct in his new home. It took some doing, but he located a union shop to install the duct. One week, the fellow flew in to check on the progress of his new home only to find that the installer had used the worst of worst fittings. He made them rip them all out and redo the entire job using the correct fittings.

| I was recently working for Boston air systems at wellsley college in wellsley mass, We put in some square throat and heal elbows and the company that they were purchased from had skipped every other vain.Long story short the engineer made us put in the extra vains that were left out.Kinda stinks putting them vains in after all the duct is installed. |
