Use a level on every straight run before tightening any hanger permanently. Unlevel duct causes condensate to pool and affects air distribution at diffusers.

Ask Foreman

Can you verify this before I keep going? I’m looking at: Not checking that duct is level before securing it permanently. What’s the approved correction for this job?

Do not

Do not hide, force, cover, or “make it work” if this affects safety, access, airflow, rated assemblies, supports, equipment, or inspection. Stop and verify the approved correction.
