  • How to get an air flapper out of the ductwork?

    Hi,
    I have an air flapper stuck in my ductwork and it makes a noise when the furnace fan comes on.

    How do I get that out?

    I try with a small magnet but that did not work out.

    flapper

    use a coat hanger bent into a hook and try to snag the threaded part.

      To get this picture I had to zoom, so the loose piece is pretty far away, at about 5 feet.
      Any other ideas?

        how about a long vacuum cleaner hose?

          I went back with the small magnet and a camera to see what am I doing and that did the trick.
          Thanks everyone.
