Stop. Get direction before you touch it.

Can you install a duct sound attenuator if the internal media got wet?

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.']
