Diffuser boot not sealed or aligned
Make sure the diffuser boot is sealed, aligned, and connected to the right device before ceiling close.
Watch out
- Do not leave a boot half-sealed or aimed wrong because the tile hides it.
Check
- Match the boot to the diffuser/grille size and room tag.
- Check that the boot is square with the ceiling/device layout.
- Verify flex or branch connection is sealed at the collar.
- Look for insulation or ceiling conflicts around the boot.
- Ask before covering if boot/device alignment is off.
