Saddle tap not sealed around full perimeter

Do you want this saddle tap sealed all the way around before I close it up?

This saddle tap is seated, but I want to verify the approved seal method and make sure the backside/perimeter is sealed before cover. Do you want mastic, tape, or another method here?

Round, Spiral & Oval Duct 2nd Year YELLOW

Stop if

This tap may leak around the backside if it is not sealed now. Who should verify the seal method before ceiling close?

Watch out

Do not guess, hide it, or keep installing past the unclear condition.
