INSTALLATION

Install insulation in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

[Place after masonry wall has sufficiently dried and attained optimum moisture content. Place prior to covering cores with bond beams or lintels.]

Place as wall is erected. Completely fill spaces.

Place in lifts. Do not exceed [6] [____] ft ([2] [____]

pouring height.

PROTECTION OF FINISHED WORK

Protect finished Work under provisions of Section [01500.] [________.]

Place temporary signs in rooms which face insulated walls warning workers to use caution to prevent loss of insulation when cutting into walls.
