What do I check when landing equipment on a curb?

Equipment Connections: RTU, AHU, VAV, Fans & Louvers.1 field-polished — equipment/submittal check

Watch the last few inches: alignment, gasket contact, curb corners, duct openings, roof membrane, service clearance, and no fingers under the load. If it is not lining up, stop and call it out.

Ask foreman

The unit is close to landing, but it looks like the curb/openings/gasket are not lining up. Do you want the pick paused before it sits all the way down?

Do not

Do not assume the curb is right just because it is installed, and do not field-adapt the opening without approval.

Why it matters

Project drawings/specs, equipment submittals, manufacturer instructions, access/service clearance requirements, foreman direction, startup needs, and approved equipment connection details.
