To prevent material sagging on open cable trays (no lids), steel banding is installed around the cable perimeter prior to application of the insulation blanket. Banding is tightened to create a surface for the insulation blanket to rest upon. The use of wire mesh or a cable tray lid is also permitted.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete if not required.

Blanket Insulation: Install per manufacturer's requirements to achieve performance rating required.

Marine Blanket Installation:

Available in a variety of thicknesses and densities. The material parameters chosen depend upon the specific application and the Fire Rating Class required. Comply with the current Certifications and details on tested systems and material components.

Comply with manufacturer's installation requirements to achieve performance class and certification construction assembly.

ACCESS DOORS

Field-Fabricated:

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete article below if Ductmate Ultimate or F2 prefabricated access doors are specified. Retain article below for installation of field fabricated access doors.

Cut and remove installed insulation to dimension 2 inches (51 mm) larger than opening.

Seal cut edges of remaining insulation with aluminum foil tape.

Cut access opening in duct.

1/4 inch (6.4 mm) diameter threaded rod to corners of opening.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Use the following optional article to specify easy removal of insulation.

Cover rods with hollow steel tubes.

Cut 16 gauge cover plate with dimensions 2 inches (51 mm) larger than opening.

Drill holes in cover plate to match rod pattern.

Place 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) ceramic fiber or unfaced FyreWrap blanket gasket between duct and access door cover.

Install cover over rods.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Specify a minimum of 4 pins for ducts with single layer insulation, and a minimum of 5 pins for ducts with a double layer of insulation. For the double layer system, the pins should not be spaced greater than at 12 inch (305 mm) centers.

Single Layer: Weld 4 steel insulation pins to outside of door panel, 1 inch (25.4 mm) from corners.

Double Layer: Weld 5 steel insulation pins to outside of door panel, 1 inch (25.4 mm) from corners.

Cut first insulation piece to size of access door, seal cut edges with aluminum foil tape and install over pins within cutout area.

Cut second insulation piece with dimensions 2 inches (51 mm) larger than first piece, seal cut edges with aluminum foil tape and install over pins.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Include the following article for access door openings in ducts where the 2-layer system has been used. Delete if not required.

Cut third insulation piece (for 2-Layer grease duct systems only) with dimensions 2 inches (51 mm) larger than second piece, seal cut edges with aluminum foil tape and install over pins.

Place washers on pins and bend over excess pin lengths.

Place washers on threaded rods and secure with nuts.

Pre-fabricated: Ductmate Industries - Ultimate and F-2 access door to be prefabricated from 16 gauge steel and installed as one unit.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Duct Support Systems: FyreWrap insulation is not required to protect most support components. Refer to manufacturer's Product Information Sheets for additional details and requirements. ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Regular maintenance of Unifrax FyreWrap is not required when installed as per installation instructions. The following article specifies repair procedures should damage occur

MAINTENANCE

Cut banding or insulation washers on damaged blanket areas and remove.

Cut and remove damaged blanket.

Cut new blanket piece with exact dimensions as that removed and install on ductwork in same configuration as previously used in compliance with required material overlaps and attachment methods.

Ensure same minimum overlap is created.

Replace permanent attachment.

FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Use the following Articles only when manufacturer's field services are desired to verify the quality of the installed components. Establish the number and duration of periodic site visits required by Manufacturer and specify below. Consult Manufacturer for services required. Delete if field services are not required.

Have manufacturer of products supplied under this Section review Work involved in handling, installation/application and protection of its products, and submit written reports in acceptable format to verify compliance of Work with Contract.

Schedule site visits to review Work as installation is about to begin.

PROTECTION
