Flex collar blocked by ceiling grid or framing

If ceiling grid or framing blocks the collar, do not force the flex. Coordinate before hiding an inaccessible connection.

Stop if

• The collar connection is blocked by grid/framing. Do you want the route or opening adjusted before I connect flex?

Watch out

• Do not bury a collar connection you cannot inspect or service.

Check

• Identify what blocks the collar.
• Check diffuser/boot/access location.
• See if route/boot needs adjustment.
• Ask before bending or crushing flex around grid/framing.
• Photo the conflict.
