IEQ Ductwork Protection

Should the ductwork that is delivered to the jobsite for installation be wrapped at the fab shop on both ends or can the ends of the duct be wrapped onsite prior to unloading from the truck?

Niether ASHRAE 62.1 nor USGBC specify this. I would personally rather them be sealed at the fab shop.

Indeed it is not a requirement to be wrapped at the factory, but many projects are specifying ducts, and even large AHUs be factory wrapped or shrink-wrapped so that road dirt isn't introduced. It should theoreticaly be cheaper to wrap them at the fab shop than in the field anyway.
