Flex restriction hidden above ceiling
Hidden flex restrictions become hidden airflow complaints. Check the whole run before the ceiling closes.
Watch out
- Do not leave hidden restrictions because nobody can see them from the floor.
Check
- Run your hand/eyes from boot to collar.
- Look for kink, crushed liner, sag, tight strap, sharp bend, or excess length.
- Correct support and bend shape before cover.
- Photo the corrected run if asked.
- Ask before closing if the route cannot be made smooth.
