Chapter 11 from the "Ductwork Installation Guide":
BATH BOX DISPOSED PERPENDICULAR TO OVAL STACK
Р. 22 Р. 23
The differences of the case title shown in the Title of the Chapter from the one discussed earlier is only the fact that to connect to the bath box instead of oval 90’ used flat oval 90’ or from round to oval end boot. Flat oval 90’ consists of 4 oval parts inserted in each other by a special seam. And it is more fragile than oval 90’. After some time and temperature differences it may crack. That is why all three connections of the flat oval 90' should be covered with the duct tape.
Also quite often after the flat oval 90’ was inserted into bath box sleeve, only one screw is easily tightened because the pipe on the other side interferes. In this case, it is best to nail a suspension (see P. 22) right under the flat oval 90’ that will hold the construction together.
Sometimes flat oval 90’ after it is inserted into bath box stands out beyond the joists – it is unacceptable and it should be cut to fit. Usually only crimped part can be cut and crimped again. Never cut a rivet during cutting – that part should be bent inside. If you cut an uncrimped portion of the flat oval 90’ or any other 90’ assembled from separate components, than the uncut piece should be bent outside.
When using 7” flat oval 90’ or narrow joists, it won’t be enough to only cut the crimpled portion. You will have to also cut bath box sleeve. And to determine the length of the pipe, you should set flat oval 90’ over the middle of the bath box hole. Insert it into the hole and the extra length of the bath box sleeve is cut to fit the second floor level plus 1 ½” for connection.
If you use from round to oval end boot, the installation is done in the same manner. The only difference is that duct tape doesn’t have to be used. When measuring from the pipe to the bath box you should allow for that part of it that is located between outer round portion and the beginning of the oval one. For example, if you have 15” and the above mentioned portion is 4”, that the length of the pipe should be determine by the formula 15” + 3” – 4” = 14” (where 3” – is extra for the crimp).
On Р. 24 we show a case where a bath box is located too close to the oval stack and also shifted to the side. To make a connection the following should be done:
1. Insert flat oval 90’ into the bath box sleeve.
2. Take oval 90’ and locate it so it sits right in the middle of flat oval 90’ and make a mark on r-foil.
3. Measure distance from the mark to the oval stack and cut that extra piece.
P. 24 4. Put the piece on the oval stack and over it put oval 90’. 5. Measure distance from the oval 90’ to flat oval 90’ and measures it where the distance is the maximum.
6. Cut piece of the pipe according to the measurement plus 3”and adjust the shorter side (see. Р. 24).
7. Assemble of 3 pieces together, install flat oval 90’ into the bath box sleeve and screw together.
8. Lowered oval stack with additional portion is raised back and inserted back into oval 90’.
9. All the parts are screwed together and rough strap nailed.

Several months ago I’ve decided to stop selling my “Ductwork Installation Guide” and concentrate my effort on rewriting the text of it! So, I was looking for help, but I didn’t get any. I thought that there could be a lot of people in the country willing to share their knowledge and understanding of the ductwork installation, but time was proving that I was wrong. There are not people having this kind of knowledge and willing to help newcomers to learn this profession at the same time. I’ve contacted several most active participants on a few “Forum Websites”, but they couldn’t even pass the test on my “How Did I Do It” page or just ignored my call for help.
At the end I've decided to rewrite my “Ductwork Installation Guide” by myself and I’m asking the visitors of my website for help again. But this time around I need a little bit different kind of help: I need a support.
Every day I’m having about 45 visitors on my website and in average 8 of them looking specifically for ductwork installation guide, or manual, or book, or training! But read my lips: It doesn’t exist!!!
If you are looking for something like that you have only two options: learn it on a field or wait when I finish my “Ductwork Installation Guide”.
But you can help me to rewrite my “Guide” if you will pay for the chapters which I already rewrote!
There are already five of them available (chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, 51) and chapter 6 is coming up soon!
I think that everyone will benefit from this kind of cooperation: you will learn the profession step by step but I will learn that your interest to the subject isn’t a simple curiosity!
Looking forward for our cooperation!
