The insulation material on site does not match the spec
Do not install insulation that does not match the drawing/spec/submittal. Document the staged material and ask before it becomes hidden work.
Watch out
- Do not assume fiberglass wrap, elastomeric, liner, rated wrap, and vapor-barrier products are interchangeable.
Check
- Photograph the material label/box/roll and the area where it will be installed.
- Pull the insulation schedule/spec note if available.
- Compare material type, thickness, vapor barrier, facing, and special environment requirements.
- Ask foreman/PM to verify before installing.

Say this to your foreman
The staged insulation looks different from the spec/submittal at [location]. Do you want this held until the material is verified?
