Protective Film Is Trapped Under Exposed-Duct Joints or Hangers
Confirm when the protective film must be removed and inspect every joint, hanger contact, seam, label, and accessory before final tightening or closeout.
The exposed duct still has protective film where the hanger and next joint will trap it. I checked the finish requirement. Do you want those areas stripped now and the remaining film left for protection?
Watch out
Do not leave film trapped under hangers, gaskets, sealant, screws, or joints, and do not peel it early without a protection plan.
Check
Check the finish schedule and manufacturer instructions.
Remove film from surfaces that will be trapped or sealed when required.
Protect the exposed finish during remaining work.
Inspect for adhesive residue, scratches, and hidden film tabs.
