Matt,

I must have been a bit loopy last night as I did not comment on what I thought was the more important issue, and I kept telling myself to make sure and remember to do so.

"The straps are installed behind the AHU casing. I cant see how far down the straps are connected because they go into the casing/shell."

The AHU panels are designed to fit just so and be as air tight as possible. Inserting a strap between the panel and the unit frame only makes for air leaks.

One thing I've seldom found was the required notice, required by 13-610.1.ABC.3.5.2.4
