What do I do when not checking plumb/level before final fastening?

Check plumb/level before final fastening. Temporary alignment is not final alignment.

Field checklist

Use level/laser/string as appropriate.
Check pitch/slope requirement if any.
Verify hanger load and alignment.
Tighten after final position is confirmed.
Recheck after adjacent pieces are connected.

Ask foreman

Can you check this alignment before I final-tighten it?

Do not

Do not lock duct down while it is twisted, leaning, or forced.

Why it matters

Once fastened, small alignment errors become leaks, stress, and ugly finish.
