Method <strong>of</strong> Removing Deposit<br />

A rubber hose or plastic ball that under<br />

pressure agitates <strong>the</strong> wall <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

ductwork.<br />

Usually an air gun with a trigger that is<br />

able to direct compressed air locally.<br />

Usually a plastic or metal ball placed <strong>on</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> a flexible hose. Compressed<br />

air leaving small openings in <strong>the</strong> ball<br />

propels <strong>the</strong> hose forward inducing <strong>the</strong><br />

nozzle to closely traverse <strong>the</strong> internal<br />

surface <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> duct.<br />
