Hanging Ducting?

[BudJunky]

Hey guys I just got an AC hood and went to go put it up and realized I've never worked with ducting before. Should I use a clamp to attatch it to the hood or tape? How should I hang it from the cieling without constricting airflow? Is there a bracket of some type I can use?

From what I can see in pics and videos it looks like duct clamps and or zipties.. Anybody with an air-cooled hood wanna clarify for me so I can get back to work? lol I don't wanna screw anything up.

Use both the clamp and duct tape. the clamp probably won't totally seal it off, so that's where the tape comes in. Don't over do it though. You don't want it to be a mess to take apart when you do. One clean strip, and leave yourself a pulltab.

fabrics hangers are sold in the ducting section at lowes.

No clamps and no zipties. Use the type of duct tape meant for ductwork. Any hardware store. The brand I use is called Shuretape dc 181. Clamps suck
