Do not cover a bad flex route just because it is above ceiling. Fix or document before close-up.
Field checklist
- Identify the bad route: sag, kink, long run, unsupported bend, or wrong size.
- Photo the issue.
- Tell foreman before tile/insulation hides it.
- Fix if directed.
- Mark if it must stay open.
Ask foreman
This flex route is bad before cover. Do you want it fixed before ceiling close?
Do not
Do not let hidden flex become a comfort complaint.
Why it matters
