What to Check First

Ask Foreman

Where are the approved support points on this VAV, and which side needs clear access for controls and reheat service?

Text to Foreman

Do Not Do This

Do not hang the box from connected duct or bury the service side against structure, pipe, or ceiling framing.

Why This Matters

Poor support or blocked access creates noise, damaged connections, commissioning failures, and future demolition.

Verify against: VAV submittal/IOM, project hanger detail, controls and ceiling coordination, foreman direction.
