Apprentice question
Field check
Standard work. Do it right, keep moving.
Do not bridge a flexible connector with rigid bracing. Keep the duct and equipment restraint systems independent so the flex break can move.
['A canvas/flexible connector is supposed to break vibration and allow movement. A rigid brace across it turns it back into a solid connection.', 'Remove the brace across the flex gap and confirm the duct side and equipment side each have their own approved restraint/support method.']
