Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that duct lining will interfere with the opening or closing of dampers, which could lead to an inability to balance the flow of intake and exhaust air, which could lead to an inability to maintain adequate indoor air temperatures, which could lead to condensation, which could lead to deterioration, which could lead to compromised structural integrity, which could lead to harm to persons.
