Re: flex ducts

thx for the info. the AC unit is 17 yrs old and has worked very well thus far since we bought it. The AC flow is good now that the fresh air supply flex tube is new. I totally agree with going all metal on the supply / return ducts. When the AC unit dies, I will bite that bullet and do it right.

disconnected flex duct to plenum

Have an older mobile unit. Single wide with florida room addition. The main supply air flex duct came off the plenum run. It connects to the duct from the bottom. I used a snake cam to find where it attaches. Can these be put on from the top side in a room? I ask as the room it's in is being renovat...
