Plain-English answer

Use heavy structural steel Riser Clamps (Angle Iron Supports) fastened securely to the left and right exterior sides of the duct body.

These heavy horizontal angle bars extend outward past the floor hole cutout lines, resting their full load weight directly flat onto the structural concrete floor slab or structural steel perimeter framing channels at each floor landing.

Field checklist

Ask Foreman

Hey boss, I’m on sealing & insulation and need verification before I touch this: How do we support vertical riser ductwork at each floor penetration? Do you want me to stop here and check the approved detail, submittal, or inspector/manufacturer requirement first?

Verify before acting

Use this as training guidance. The foreman, approved drawings, project specs, manufacturer installation instructions, employer safety policy, and AHJ/code requirements always control the final answer.
