How to install 636 venting

What is pipe? Originally Posted by Hvac I got a what I thought to be a good 2" cutter made by Kobalt. It had a very agressive v shaped blade. It would tend to just break the pipe instead of cut. I took it back and got a cheep generic brand one. It cuts nice however the ratchet likes to slip sometimes. I like to lay the pipe on the ground and have one handle of the cutter on the ground, then use my weight to push the other handle down.

It will cause the pipe to bend inward a little, but it will eventually cut. If I have to cut an exsisting pipe it is kind of a fight but it will do it. I have had a little trouble in cold temps so I just took my little LP torch out and quickly warm up pipe a little.

For 3" pipe I like the chop saw but it's a little bit of a pain to drag it around so I usually use a skill saw. Just need to wear glassed to protect eyes.

However, when ever I create shavings I run a rag or blow through with CO2. If you have ever been called out at pm to drive 2 hours to run a no heat on a 4 hour old install and find shavings pluged up so bad you have to run a water hose down the flew to clear them out it makes you be very picky when it comes to shavings. The Lennox G series and the new series that I can't think of its name right now. Have a very very small drain port from the collector box and the drain line has very little pitch.

They will plug very easily. I haven't used just sched The only big problem with pluged drains was on the Lennox, Like I said the port is very small even a lady bug would cause problems I didn't have problem when I installed cuz I was carefull and made sure I cleared shavings. I'm a servic tech so I don't install all that often anymore, in comparison to when I was an installer. It just seamed when we techs would tell the installers about the problem it seamed to fall on def ears.

In any case when you don't take the time to fallow proper procedures the end product tends to be subpar. Shavings only occur if you're irresponsible and careless. On the exhaust, it's a non issue. Sawzall has been my tool of choice since they brought in the scam of My buddy works for Royal pipe systems, he's got it on good authority that is the same as sched 40 pvc but twice as expensive because its "certified".
