Install ductwork to allow adequate access and service space for <br />equipment and access clearances for cable tray/j-hooks.Refer to drawings and/or manufacturer's <br />recommendations Install vertical ductwork plumb. Make allowances for beams,pipes or other obstructions <br />in building construction and for work of other contractors. Check plans showing work of other trades and <br />consult with Engineer in event of any interference. <br />E Where interferences develop in the field,offset or reroute ductwork as required to clear such interferences. <br /> Do not divide duct and do not route any other utilities such as piping or conduit through duct. In all cases, <br />consult drawings for exact location of space allocated for duct,ceiling heights,door and window openings, <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 2D852F9B-A7CF-462A-9536-444A53AA848A
