    Anything’s possible, I’m guessing there are some pipes or somethingunderneath and whoever did the installing didn’t feel like trying to straighten it out with junk in the way.

      There’s lots of really good reasons why HVAC techs aren’t cutting on pipe in a building. Having the proper pipefitters/plumbers making those changes which doesn’t actually change any function is expensive, so I could see that money not being spent.

      Looking at the final product, it looks like the HVAC folks could have acquired a larger vent grill and place the grill parallel to the tiles for cosmetic appeal even though the ducting wouldn’t take up the whole grill.
