Transition from hard duct to flex not supported

Support the hard-to-flex transition so the flex does not pull the collar or sag at the connection.

Stop if

• This hard-to-flex transition is unsupported. Do you want support added before I connect it?

Watch out

• Do not let flex hang from the collar like a weight.

Check

• Check both sides of the transition.
• Support hard duct and flex near the connection.
• Keep the collar round and aligned.
• Verify liner seal after support is added.
• Ask before loading the connection with flex weight.

Steps
