What This Helps With

Bird screens and louvers need to be accessible for cleaning because a clogged screen changes airflow.

Apprentice words: bird screen, louver screen, outside air screen, clogged louver, louver access

Common problem: Screen gets installed where it cannot be removed, or gets clogged with construction debris before startup.

Check First

Screen present if required, correct mesh/open area, removable/access, airflow direction, and clean before turnover.

What Not To Do

Do not bury removable screens behind permanent duct. Do not paint or clog screen mesh.

What can go wrong: Screen gets installed where it cannot be removed, or gets clogged with construction debris before startup.

Better Foreman Question

Is this bird screen/removable louver screen accessible for cleaning after duct connects?
