PART 3 EXECUTION

EXAMINATION

Verify site conditions under provisions of Section [01039.] [________.]

Verify that substrate, adjacent materials, and insulation are dry and ready to receive insulation.

INSTALLATION

Install insulation [and vapor [and air] barrier] in accordance with [insulation] [________________] manufacturer's instructions[.] [and Section 07190.]

Install in exterior [walls] [roof] [and] [ceiling] spaces without gaps or voids.

Trim insulation neatly to fit spaces.

Fit insulation tight in spaces and tight to exterior side of mechanical and electrical services within the plane of insulation. Leave no gaps or voids.

Install with factory applied membrane facing warm side of building spaces. Lap ends and side flanges of membrane [over] [between] framing members.

[Staple or nail in place at maximum [6] [____] inches ([150] [____] mm) oc.] [Tape in place.] [Retain in place with spindle fasteners at [____] inches ([____] mm) oc.] [Retain in place with wire mesh secured to framing members.]

Tape seal butt ends, lapped flanges, and tears or cuts in membrane.

Wood Framing: Place vapor and air barrier on warm side of insulation by [stapling] [nailing] at [6] [____]inches ([150] [____] mm) oc. Lap and seal sheet barrier joints over member face.

****** [OR] ******

Metal Framing: Place vapor and air barrier on warm side of insulation; lap and seal sheet barrier joints over member face.

[Place insulation fasteners at [____] inches ([____] mm) oc.] [Retain insulation in place with wire mesh secured to framing members.] Tape seal tears or cuts in barrier.

Extend vapor and air barrier tight to full perimeter of adjacent window and door frames and other items interrupting the plane of membrane. Tape seal in place.

Coordinate vapor and air seal with Section [07190.] [____.]
