Not measuring diagonal clearance for large fittings

Measure diagonal clearance for large fittings, not just straight width and height.

Stop if

• Can this fitting physically pass and rotate into place from this path?

Watch out

• Do not assume a big fitting will fit because the final installed space is large enough.

Check

• Check the fitting's largest diagonal/swing path.
• Measure the route through doors/halls/ceiling openings.
• Account for insulation/flanges.
• Plan how the fitting will rotate into place.
• Ask before staging if it may not fit.
