Open in Field Rescue Open category

Field checklist

Photo the pipe, duct/flex, access point, and room/grid.
Check whether flex is crushed, kinked, or access is blocked.
Confirm original duct route and access requirement.
Tell foreman before modifying duct or flex.
Keep the issue visible until resolved.

Ask foreman

Plumbing is compressing the flex/blocking access here. Do you want this escalated before we change the duct?

Do not

Do not smash flex, bury access, or reroute around plumbing without direction.

Why it matters

Late trade conflicts often look minor until airflow, service access, and punchlist fail.
