(121.92 cm) wide blanket helps to maximize coverage since the 3 in. (76.2 mm) longitudinal overlaps occur less frequently. 2 In accordance with the tolerances in ASTM C 892 Standard Specification for High-Temperature Fiber Blanket Thermal Insulation.

Preparatory Work 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ is installed with common insulation tools, such as knives, banders and capacitor discharge guns for applying insulation pins. In order to install the duct firestop system, the surfaces of all the openings and penetrating items need to be clean, dry, frost free and free of dust.

2-Layer Grease Duct Note: This general instruction for applying 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ details a two-layer wrap Method (ASTM E 2336) installation of 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ blanket applied directly to a grease duct. To minimize waste, the 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ material should be rolled out tautly before measuring. The first layer of 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ blanket is wrapped around the perimeter of the duct and is cut to a length to either butt to itself or overlap itself not less than 3 in. (76.2 mm). The interface between adjacent blankets forms the "longitudinal” joint. Inner layer longitudinal joints can be tightly butted joints or they should overlap onto adjacent blankets with a min. 3 in. (76.2 mm) overlap. Aluminum foil tape is used to seal all cut edges of the blanket and any tears in the foil scrim. This first layer is temporarily held in place using filament tape. The first layer does not require steel banding. The second layer of 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ blanket is wrapped around the perimeter of the previously installed first layer of 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+. Regardless of installation method, offset the edge of the second layer a min. 10.5 in. (26.7 cm) for the perimeter overlap of the inner layer. In addition, the second layer perimeter (lateral) joint must be an overlap of not less than 3 in. (76.2 mm). When installing 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ onto grease ducts using any method except the Butt Joint with Collar method, the outer layer longitudinal joints must have a min. 3 in. (76.2 mm) overlap. With the Butt Joint with Collar method, the outer layer longitudinal joints are tightly butted and the 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ Collar is centered over the outer layer longitudinal joint. The second layer of blanket can be temporarily held in place using filament tape. The second layer of wrap requires permanent fastening with stainless (or carbon) steel banding, or with rows of weld pins (impaling or cup-head style).

Access Door Installation Four galvanized steel threaded rods, 1/4 in. diameter (6.35 mm) by 4-1/2 in. to 5 in. long (114.3 mm to 127 mm) are welded to the duct at the corners of the door opening. Four steel tubes, each 3 in. (76.2 mm) long, are placed over the rods to act as protection for the 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+, and to transfer the wing nut force to the access door, when fastening the door. Four insulation pins are welded to the door panel for installation of the blanket. One layer of 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ is cut approximately the same size as the access panel and impaled over the insulation pins on the panel. It is essential that this layer fit tightly against the wrap surrounding the access door opening with no through openings. A second layer of 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ is cut to overlap the first layer by a minimum of 1 in. (25.4 mm). Impale the second layer over the pins. A third layer of 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ is cut to overlap the second layer by a minimum of 1 in. (25.4 mm). The third layer is impaled over the pins and all three layers are locked in place with galvanized or stainless steel speed clips. Pins that extend beyond the outer layer of 3M™ Fire Barrier Duct Wrap 615+ should be turned down or cut off to avoid sharp points on the door. The insulated door panel is placed over the threaded rods and held in place with washers and wing nuts. The details are shown in Figure 3. The details for installing the 3M™ Fire Barrier Grease Duct Access Door (pre-manufactured) are shown in Figure 3A.

Note: System integrity is limited by quality of installation. Consult current independent testing laboratories (e.g. Intertek, UL) for Design or System Details. In all four overlap techniques the perimeter overlap can occur at any location on the duct.

Penetrations When the duct penetrates a fire rated wall, ceiling or floor, an approved firestop system must be employed. Figures 4-6 illustrate typical conditions. To firestop the wrapped duct, follow the installation parameters detailed in a compatible ASTM E 814 tested through-penetration firestop design. Note: Through-penetration designs in which the duct is bare where it passes through combustible or limited-combustible construction (e.g. gypsum walls or wood joist floor-ceiling assemblies) are appropriate for ventilation duct scenarios only. It is not appropriate for bare, uninsulated grease ducts to pass through combustible assemblies. Intertek 3MU/DI design listings contain through penetration details. See system details of UL System HNLJ.V-27, Section 3.C. for applicable UL through penetration systems.

Note: System integrity is limited by quality of installation. Consult current independent testing laboratories (e.g. Intertek, UL) for Design or System Details.

Where laboratory casework abuts other finished work, apply filler strips and scribe for accurate fit, with fasteners concealed where practical. Do not exceed the following tolerances:

1. Variation of Tops of Base Cabinets from Level: 1/16 inch in 10 feet (1.5 mm in 3 m). 2. Variation of Bottoms of Upper Cabinets from Level: 1/8 inch in 10 feet (3 mm in 3 m).



3. Variation of Faces of Cabinets from a True Plane: 1/8 inch in 10 feet (3 mm in 3 m). 4. Variation of Adjacent Surfaces from a True Plane (Lippage): 1/32 inch (0.8 mm). 5. Variation in Alignment of Adjacent Door and Drawer Edges: 1/16 inch (1.5 mm).

B. Utility-Space Framing: Secure to floor with two fasteners at each frame. Fasten to partition framing, wood blocking, or metal reinforcements in partitions and to base cabinets. C. Base Cabinets: Fasten cabinets to utility-space framing, partition framing, wood blocking, or reinforcements in partitions with fasteners spaced not more than 24 inches (600 mm) o.c. Bolt adjacent cabinets together with joints flush, tight, and uniform.

1. Where base cabinets are installed away from walls, fasten to floor at toe space at not morethan 24 inches (600 mm) o.c. and at sides of cabinets with not less than 2 fasteners per side.

D. Wall Cabinets: Fasten to hanging strips, masonry, partition framing, blocking, or reinforcements in partitions. Fasten each cabinet through back, near top, at not less than 24 inches (600 mm) o.c. E. Install hardware uniformly and precisely. Set hinges snug and flat in mortises. F. Adjust laboratory casework and hardware so doors and drawers align and operate smoothly without warp or bind and contact points meet accurately. Lubricate operating hardware as recommended by manufacturer.

Field Jointing: Where possible, make in same manner as shop-made joints using dowels, splines, fasteners, adhesives, and sealants recommended by manufacturer. Prepare edges in shop for field made joints.

1. Use concealed clamping devices for field-made joints in plastic-laminate countertops. Locate clamping devices within 6 inches (150 mm) of front and back edges and at intervals not exceeding 24 inches (600 mm). Tighten according to manufacturer's written instructions to exert a uniform heavy pressure at joints.

C. Fastening: 1. Secure countertops, except for epoxy countertops, to cabinets with Z-type fasteners or equivalent, using two or more fasteners at each cabinet front, end, and back. 2. Secure epoxy countertops to cabinets with epoxy cement, applied at each corner and along perimeter edges at not more than 48 inches (1200 mm) o.c. 3. Where necessary to penetrate countertops with fasteners, countersink heads approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm) and plug hole flush with material equal to countertop in chemical resistance, hardness, and appearance.

D. Provide required holes and cutouts for service fittings. E. Seal unfinished edges and cutouts in plastic-laminate countertops with heavy coat of polyurethane varnish. F. Provide scribe moldings for closures at junctures of countertop, curb, and splash with walls as recommended by manufacturer for materials involved. Match materials and finish to adjacent laboratory casework. Use chemical-resistant, permanently elastic sealing compound where recommended by manufacturer. G. Carefully dress joints smooth, remove surface scratches, and clean entire surface.

3.4 INSTALLATION OF SINKS:



A. Comply with installation requirements in SEFA 2.3. B. Semiflush Installation of Stainless-Steel Sinks: Before setting, apply sink and countertop manufacturers' recommended sealant under rim lip and along top. Remove excess sealant while still wet and finish joint for neat appearance.
