Support a VAV Box Without Blocking Service
Support the VAV from approved points, keep it level as required, and leave access to controls, actuator, filter, heater, coil, and panels.
Stop if
- Where are the approved support points on this VAV, and which side needs clear access for controls and reheat service?
Watch out
- Do not hang the box from connected duct or bury the service side against structure, pipe, or ceiling framing.
Check
- Verify manufacturer support points and orientation
- Confirm hanger detail and independent support
- Keep inlet and discharge connections from carrying the box weight
- Leave required access around panels, controls, and reheat components
- Coordinate ceiling access before close-in
