Use a spotter when long duct is moving through finished areas or tight paths. One person watching the far end saves walls, doors, and people.

Field checklist

Walk the path first.
Check corners, door frames, lights, sprinklers, and finished surfaces.
Assign one person to lead and one to watch the tail.
Move slow through turns.
Pad/protect finished surfaces when needed.

Ask foreman

Can someone spot the tail end while we move this through finished space?

Do not

Do not carry long duct through finished areas blind or assume the back end is clear.

Why it matters

Long duct swings wider than apprentices expect, especially at corners and doorways.
