Static field route #13903

Before RTU sets on curb — what do I check?

Equipment ConnectionsV139 audit-polished route

Before the pick, verify curb tag, orientation, gasket path, supply/return openings, access clearances, and loose debris. This is the last cheap moment to catch a rotated or wrong curb/unit setup.

Field checklist

Match unit tag to curb tag, plan location, and orientation.
Verify supply/return openings line up and nothing is blocking the duct path.
Check gasket path, curb top, corners, loose screws, debris, and bent metal.
Look at service access, coil pull, filters, gas/electrical/control routes, and roof hatch path.
Call out mismatch before the crane picks or before the unit lands.

Ask foreman

Before this RTU gets picked, can we verify tag, orientation, gasket path, openings, and service access so we do not land it wrong?

Do not

Do not let the unit land just because the crane is waiting if the curb, openings, gasket, or orientation is wrong.

Why it matters

Once equipment lands, a simple mismatch becomes crane time, roof work, rework, and finger-pointing.
