Why did a spiral duct reducer separate during startup?

A reducer that separates was not mechanically engaged and sealed for the load. Re-seat, fasten, and seal it by the approved pressure-class detail.

['Round reductions can see thrust, vibration, and pressure changes. Foil tape and a couple light screws are not a structural joint on a demanding run.', 'Support the fitting, check insertion depth, use the approved fastener pattern, and seal with the correct pressure-rated mastic/tape system. Replace damaged collars or distorted pipe ends.']
