Exposed spiral screw lines look random

Stop and align the exposed spiral run before final fastening. Exposed spiral is part of the room finish, not just airflow duct.

Stop if

• This spiral is exposed. Do you want the seam/screw line facing a certain direction before I fasten the run?

Watch out

• Do not treat exposed spiral like hidden duct or leave random screw lines, scratched finish, or crooked joints.

Check

• Look down the run before fastening
• Keep seams/screw lines consistent where visible
• Protect painted/coated/stainless finish
• Use approved screws/spacing
• Ask before rotating visible pieces
