High-pressure duct systems (above 2" WG) require reinforced construction, heavier gauge, and tighter seam standards. Verify the pressure class before fabricating any fitting and build to the applicable SMACNA table.

Ask Foreman

Can you verify this before I keep going? I’m looking at: Not verifying that shop-built fittings match the engineered pressure class for the system. 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.
