The Duct Blaster™ by the Energy Conservatory and the DucTester by Retrotec™
are both fan systems used to pressurize ducted air-conditioning
systems.
This type of testing is called Duct Leakage Testing and is now mandated in
cities states and countries around the world.
Although it is rapidly gaining popularity and is even mandated in the
California's building code as of July 1st it's not a new test.
In fact it's been done for more than 30 years. Since the beginning they've been
using cumbersome and expensive plastic tapes to seal the register so the system
can hold pressure.
These first use petroleum products are not only wasteful and environmentally
unfriendly they're a pain to use and even come with a warning of potential damage to paint
wallpaper and finished wood surfaces.
Vent Cap Systems™ are the economic and environmentally friendly alternative.
They consist of a non-marring plastic hook
a soft, squishy, foam, non-adhesive gasket
and a machined aluminum spring-loaded fastener on top.
To get started take the Pole RAT or Remote Attachment tool and screw it on any
standard painter's pole.
This will allow you to set the Vent Caps at a distance without lugging a ladder
through the house
Next the hook and drop it in the notched cavity on top of the Pole RAT and you're
ready to set the hook.
Raise the Pole RAT until it's flush with the registe and turn 90 degrees - and the
hook is set.
Next snap the Vent Cap in the same cavity on top of the Pole RAT
this holds the button down allowing you to raise and lower with no tension on
the cord.
Not only do they save you time and look more professional but they also cut your
tape costs in half, if not better.
If you have three to five trucks and you're testing regularly, you're spending 12
to $15 thousand a year on tape,
and that's $15,000 a year - every year. Quit throwing away wads of tape along with
your revenue.
Quit risking damage to paint, wallpaper - or worse - carrying a heavy ladder around.
And don't risk a fall off a letter for you for anyone on your team.
