What do I do when not coordinating acoustic liner with duct size?

Acoustic liner changes inside duct size and airflow area. Verify liner thickness and duct size before installing or connecting.

Field checklist

Ask foreman

This duct is lined. Is the shown size the metal size or the clear airflow size after liner?

Do not

Do not assume lined duct has the same clear opening as unlined duct.

Why it matters

Insulation affects access, vapor barrier, condensation control, inspections, TAB/service access, and finished-work quality. Project specs and manufacturer details still control.
