Do you have height restrictions on your crew members? Kinda like flight attendants...only greasier.

 

[mbryan]

No but amazingly I don't have any guys that are over about 5'10". I was thinking about renting one of these guys for those jobs where you just can't fit in the duct.

Hey Matt .. Just a Question where do you get those suits you wear when you are crawling thru the duct work.. Are they disposable ? If So How Much do they cost..
Just wondering...

 

[mbryan]

You mean these white suits? We get them at Grainger and they run about $5-6 and yes they are disposable, thank God.

 

[mbryan]

BTW they are called Tyvek suits and you can get them with or without hoods and booties. The booties are nice cause you can cut them off after you crawl out of a duct and you dont have to worry about grease on the floor. Here is a nice "before and after" shot of one of those suits.

We once used those disposable suits. It tooks months to shake off the term the employees gave us - 'Marshmallow Men'. No more of that for us!

Hey Matt

I also use those tyvek suits with the hoods and boots. I buy them from www.protective-clothing.net. I pay 69.30 for a case of 25. It costs me about $2.77 per suit. Just thought I'd let you know it your interested so you could save a couple of bucks.

 

[mbryan]

Those are great prices! Thanks dude!

I got to clean a hospital vent hood next week I know the 30 foot lond duct has probably never been cleaned so I guess I am Going to try scraping it and see how it turns out ,, and at the prices for those suits it's sure cheaper than buying Fred's Blue Jeans.. Thanks Matt...

Guys , we call them "Tea Bags" LOL. I found a killer deal and bought 4 cases of XL for 8.00/cs. Wish I could have bought 20 cases. I carry one behind the seat and one in every car just in case I need to change a tire in the rain.

No problem. They are good for 30' long ducts and 30 story long shafts

Hey Matt, did that guy have a way to get out at the bottom, otr did he have to climb back up

 

[mbryan]

Funny, I havent seen that guy around much since that job. In fact I got a call the other day from that account saying that there was a funny smell coming from the exhaust system "smells like chicken" they said.

There was a way out out the bottom.

Hey Matt...do you still get those Tyveks that cheap from the place that Brian posted? I have a friend that sells them, but they're $98/ 25. Not a bad deal I thought....but if I can get them from ^^^^(there) cheaper that would work too...

 

[Russ Spence]

[HotShot_Anthony]

nah, it's just time to order Tyveks again, so I used the search feature instead of asking the same questions over and over...
