Static field route #1029

Inspector is coming and I need a duct wrap pre-inspection walk

Insulation, Liner, Wrap & Vapor Barrieryellow

Walk insulation like an inspector will: coverage, thickness, facing/vapor barrier continuity, seams/laps, compression at supports, access doors, labels, dampers, and damaged patches.

Open in Field Rescue Open category

Field checklist

Confirm spec/material/thickness if available.
Check seams, laps, vapor barrier, tape/mastic, staples/pins/bands as required.
Look for compressed/missing insulation at supports and fittings.
Verify access doors, dampers, labels, and cleanouts remain reachable.
Photograph areas before cover/inspection.

Ask foreman

Before inspection, I found [wrap issue] at [location]. Do you want me to repair it now or hold for verification?

Do not

Do not cover access, ignore torn facing, or leave compressed/missing insulation because it is hard to see from the floor.

Why it matters

A duct-wrap inspection is usually about continuity, correct material, access, and clean visible workmanship.
