Post the detailed train- ing instructions, project specific safety drawings, and plans for OSHA compliance using the product.

Installation shall proceed with care to assure proper ... more. less.

sealing of the liner fabric. Insulation shall be placed on (roof) or behind (walls) the liner fabric in the full-specified thickness without voids or compres- sion. Notify Thermal Design (800-255-0776) immediately of any damages, improper sizes or shortages. No changes or substitutions will be allowed unless submitted at least 10 days prior to bid date and in compliance with Simple Saver System standards as set forth in this specification. Substitutions of systems that do not have a continuous vapor barrier on the inside plane of the purlins or girts will not be allowed. Purlins, girts and insulation must be completely isolated from the inside conditioned air with an effective vapor barrier. Taping or stapling of vapor barrier lap joints is not acceptable. Sealing field joints with a permanent vapor barrier lap sealant is required. Field seams, if any, shall be made on a structural member and mechanically attached with a metal band and fasteners along its full length. All exposed parts of the system shall be Class A material and have flame spread of 25 or less based on ASTM E84 stan- dards. Vapor barrier fabric shall be white or colored woven coated fabric with opaque light-gray back and triple extrusion- welded seams fabricated in one piece, to fit not less than the full bay length by the width of the building. Buildings more than 100´ wide may have field seams on the bottom of a purlin but no less than 50´ apart. Any field seams must be sealed with vapor barrier lap sealant. Wall bay minimum fabric size shall be not less than one entire wall bay or end wall column space from the ceiling to the floor. Perimeter edges of the vapor barrier fabric shall be trimmed and sealed to the adjoining steel or fabric with vapor barrier lap sealant. All edges of liner fabric, including field seams, shall be mechanically fastened with steel retaining straps the full perimeter. In the event that the crew is not experienced in the installation procedures, vid- eotaped or on-site installation training shall be requested by the installing contractor from Thermal Design to assure proper installation procedures. Submittals: Include manufacturer 9s product brochures; com- ponent specifications, samples of the painted support strap- ping, and samples of the Syseal® reinforced polyethylene vapor barrier fabric, including a sample of the extrusion weld- ed seam; specific detailed drawings from Thermal Design for the project showing purlin spacings, support strap locations and spacings, fastening points, liner fabric sizes and loca- tions; insulation widths and thicknesses, sizes and locations and detailed installation instructions for quality assurance and OSHA compliance. Safety Compliance Clause: Detailed installation instruc- tions are provided to assure proper installation and func- tion for OSHA safety compliance as an alternative form of fall protection in metal building structures. Fall protection certificate available free of charge from Thermal Design.

Traverse strap pattern shall include one strap six (6) inches away from each rafter flange with the remaining space between rafters divided into equal spaces not to exceed five (5) feet. Longitudinal straps shall be nominally thirty (30) inches on-center, with two adjacent straps at the ridge line.

Special fasteners for wood, concrete and other structure types are available from Thermal Design and should be used when appropriate. Always install two fasteners in the end of each strap for safety and to withstand installation stress, and one fastener at all other designated fastening points.

Thermal Break (Block): Thermal break shall be (select one): 1/8Ý thick by 3Ý wide white, closed cell polyethylene foam with pre-applied adhesive film and peel-off backing, 3/8Ý polystyrene Snap-R® thermal block or 1Ý polystyrene Snap- R® thermal block. The selection shall be provided as thermal break where there is no existing thermal break. PART III: EXECUTION Simple Saver Roof System: Cut to length and install painted steel straps in the pattern and spacings as shown on the project shop drawings. The straps are installed in tension and span immediately below the bottom plane of the purlins. Position the pre-folded vapor barrier liner fabric on the strap platform along one eave purlin. Clamp the two bottom corners squarely at the eave and centered on the bay. Pull the other end of the pleat-folded fabric across the building width on the strap platform but below the purlins, pausing only at the ridge to fasten the straps and fabric into position where the plane of the roof changes. Once positioned, the remaining fasten- ers are installed from the bottom side at each purlin/strap intersection and the edges are sealed and trimmed along the rafters. A similar method can be used starting at the ridge purlin space and pulling the fabric to each eave. Insulation is unpacked and placed on the vapor liner system. Shake to the specified thickness. In two-layer systems, the second layer of insulation is placed over and perpendicular to the purlins as the roof sheeting is applied. It is important that the insulation cavity be filled or the cavities be ventilated to minimize the probability of condensation. (Ventilated and/or dehumidified roof systems are possible with the Simple Saver System). Call Thermal Design (800-255-0776) for details. Simple Saver Wall System: Sheet the building with just the thermal break (if specified) applied to the exterior of the girts. Insulation is cut to the required lengths to fit vertically between the girts and installed in the girt spaces on Fast-R insulation hangers. Fluff the insulation to the specified thickness, mak- ing sure there are no gaps or voids. Insulate the complete wall section. Apply the wall vapor barrier fabric by clamping it into position over the eave strap. Once in position, the fasten- ers are installed through the wall straps, eave strap and into each roof strap, permanently clamping the wall fabric between them. Seal the wall fabric to the roof fabric, base angle, or base cee channel and on the column flanges. Additional straps are installed along the base angle and each column to retain the system permanently in place. Detailed installation instructions are to be sent along with the project drawings specific for the project and included with the materials in each shipment. Pertinent information is included on the drawings for each project. Review all information and instructions prior to commencement. If any questions arise, contact the manufacturer prior to installation. On-site installa- tion training is available for actual expense. The manufactur- er 9s toll-free hotline is 800-255-0776. Note: The Simple Saver System with OSHA Compliant through fall protection can be applied to many different structure types and installation execution varies slightly. Also, installations and specifications for existing buildings vary. Call or write for specific details. A design manual is also available upon request. Shrink-wrap license terms are included on design manuals, installation instructions, video training tapes and compact discs.
