Flexible Connector At Fan
Flexible connectors isolate vibration and small movement between fan/equipment and duct, but they still need alignment and support.
Stop if
- This fan connector is twisted/stretched. Should we realign the duct/equipment before fastening?
Watch out
- Do not use flex connector as a transition or hanger. Do not pull equipment/duct together with the connector.
Check
- Equipment and duct aligned, connector not carrying duct weight, fabric not torn, and fasteners/seal correct.
Steps
- Equipment and duct aligned, connector not carrying duct weight, fabric not torn, and fasteners/seal correct.
