Protective Film Is Trapped Under Exposed-Duct Joints or Hangers

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?

Stop if

Stop before changing structural support, rated construction, equipment handling, specialty materials, weatherproofing, engineered movement details, or manufacturer-specific requirements without the responsible direction.

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

current drawings and approved details
grid/floor/location and measured conditions
photos showing the installation condition
relevant manufacturer, structural, architectural, or finish information
what has already been checked
