Stop if
- For this VAV, what isolator type and load rating does spec require? Is deflection limited?
Watch out
- Don't omit isolators where spec requires them. Don't use wrong isolator type. Don't exceed isolator load rating.
Check
- What isolator type does spec require?
- What is the VAV weight?
- Is the isolator rated for that load?
Steps
