Green / Field Check1stBatch 4

What This Helps With

Building it rotated (12x24) so it doesn't fit the space

Apprentice words: duct size

Trade terms: duct size callout, width x height, WxH

Check First

Which dimension is width vs height and the airflow direction

What Not To Do

Assume the bigger number is always horizontal

What can go wrong: Flipping W and H

Better Foreman Question

Is 24x12 width-first here, and which way is airflow?
