Static field route #1028

I already hung the wrong size duct or installed from the wrong pile

Measuring, Layout & Field Documentationyellow

Stop the run and document the mismatch. Do not keep connecting more wrong duct. Compare the installed piece to the print/shop tag and ask how to remove, adjust, or report it.

Field checklist

Stop adding more pieces.
Photograph installed duct, tag/label if present, and drawing callout.
Measure actual installed size and correct required size.
Check if nearby staged material is mixed.
Ask foreman before removing or modifying.

Ask foreman

I installed [actual size] at [location], but the drawing/shop shows [required size]. I stopped and documented it. Do you want me to remove it, hold for review, or check staging first?

Do not

Do not keep building the run hoping the next fitting makes it work.

Why it matters

Wrong-size recovery is about stopping the spread of rework and giving the foreman clean facts fast.
