TinnerFlow™3rd YearMaterial HandlingRED · Stop and Get Direction
A wet sound attenuator is not just dirty material; the media can lose performance and create mold risk. Hold it, document it, and get replacement or manufacturer direction.
Sound attenuators depend on internal acoustic media. If that media gets soaked in the yard, it can lose performance and become a contamination/mold concern in the airstream.
Do not hang wet sound traps just to keep schedule moving. Photograph the condition, tag the unit, protect the opening, notify the foreman/GC, and follow manufacturer/spec direction on replacement, drying verification, or rejection.
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.
