Do Not Do This
Do not hide the access point, label the wrong side, or rely on memory or ceiling marks that will disappear.
Why This Matters
Future inspection and testing depend on finding the correct damper quickly without demolition.
Verify against: life-safety drawings, damper submittal, project labeling standard, AHJ/commissioning requirements.
