Before Installing Flex

Printable field checklist for before installing flex.

First move

Stop and confirm flex is allowed for this run and that the route will not kink, sag, crush, or choke airflow.

Check before moving

  • Flex size and collar size
  • Run length and route
  • Sag/support
  • Bend radius/kinks
  • Inner liner connection/seal
  • Outer jacket/vapor barrier

Photo ID to collect

  • Collar connection photo
  • Full flex route photo
  • Support/sag photo
  • Diffuser/box photo

Ask this

“This flex run is getting long/kinked/crushed. Do you want a different route or hard duct before we connect it?”

Do not

Do not use flex as a lazy reroute or tie only the outer jacket.
