Safer field move

Pull a sample section from the first delivery and verify that the TDC flange holes align with your gasket and coupler system before accepting the full order. Mis-punched flanges from the shop mean the entire run can't be assembled.

Ask Foreman

Can you verify this before I keep going? I’m looking at: Not field-verifying that pre-punched TDC duct flanges align before ordering an entire duct package. 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.
