Line up the slip flanges or raw edges carefully. Drive sheet metal screws (tek screws) through the mating flanges spaced every 4 to 6 inches, and use high-temperature foil tape or silicone sealant to seal the perimeter completely. Take care not to puncture the internal hydronic circuit or electric element racks with long screws.

Field checklist

Ask Foreman

Hey boss, I’m checking vavs & fan coils: How do I properly secure the reheat coil to the VAV discharge? I found the likely issue and want to verify the next step before I lock it in. Do you want me to adjust it now or check the drawing/detail first?
