Safer field move

Ask Foreman

Can you verify this before I keep going? I’m looking at: Building a double-wall duct liner panel that shifts during assembly. 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.
