Corners of TDC/Ductmate joint not sealed
Treat TDC/Ductmate corners as leak-prone points. Check the corner clip, gasket, and seal path before calling the joint done.
Watch out
- Do not assume the flange is sealed just because the straight runs look good.
Check
- Inspect all four corners, not just the front face.
- Verify corner clips/bolts are seated.
- Check gasket position before sealing.
- Seal corners with the approved method.
- Recheck hidden/backside corners before insulation or ceiling close.
