Move an Oversized Fitting Without Crushing or Racking It

This plenum clears the doorway but not the turn with the flange square. Do you want a different path, temporary removal of an obstruction, or a shop split?

Hangers, Supports, Rods & Trapeze 2nd Year YELLOW

Watch out

Do not pull an oversized fitting by one flange, drag it on finished surfaces, or force it through an opening that requires deforming the piece.

Check

current shop drawing or spool
photo of the fitting, supports, and access
verified install path and final position
known internal components or finish requirements
