Roof-Curb Vibration and Weather Seal: Keep Both Functions Intact
Verify the curb gasket, isolation, flashing, fasteners, and unit bearing surfaces work together without creating gaps or rigid vibration bridges.
Stop if
- Can we verify the curb gasket, weather seal, and any isolation detail before the unit is fully secured?
Watch out
- Do not fill a structural mismatch with sealant, crush the gasket unevenly, or add fasteners that bypass an isolation detail.
Check
- Confirm curb and unit model compatibility
- Inspect gasket continuity and placement
- Check curb level and bearing surfaces
- Coordinate roofing and counterflashing
- Verify isolation or curb-rail details before final fastening
