A. All portions of duct designated to receive duct liner shall be co"pletely covered with duct liner. All #oints shall be neatly butted and there shall be no interruptions or gaps. Duct liner shall be installed with the 3rinted air strea" surface treat"ent e%posed to the air strea". 4. Duct liner shall be adhered to the sheet "etal with 0(I *"ini"u"- coverage of adhesive co"plying with the re!uire"ents of ASTM , 0+1. ,. All transverse edges that are not to receive sheet "etal nosing shall be coated. Longitudinal #oints shall occur at the corners of ducts. If duct siFe and standard duct liner product di"ensions "ake e%posed longitudinal #oints necessary such #oints shall be coated with adhesive designated for duct liner application and which "eets the re!uire"ents of ASTM , 0+1. Such #oints shall be additionally secured with "echanical fasteners in accordance with 2AIMA )5DLS or SMA,2A 69A, D,S as if they were transverse #oints. D. Duct liner shall be additionally secured with "echanical fasteners co"plying with the re!uire"ents 2AIMA )5DLS or SMA,2A 69A, D,S and of the correct type for the duct liner being installed. )asteners "ay be either weld-secured or i"pact-driven and shall be installed perpendicular to the duct surface.. Mechanical fasteners shall not co"press the insulation "ore than +><C *: ""- based on no"inal insulation thickness. )astener spacing with respect to interior duct di"ensions shall be in accordance with 2AIMA )5DLS or SMA,2A 69A, D,S. )astener heads or washers shall have a "ini"u" area of (..' in & *;<; "" &), with beveled or cupped edges to prevent their cutting into the duct liner. /. ?here air velocities e%ceed ;((( fp" *&(.: ">sec- "etal nosing *either channel or CFeeC profileshall be installed on upstrea" edges of liner duct sections. ). Metal nosing shall be securely installed over transverse liner edges facing the airstrea" at fan discharge and at any point where lined duct is preceded by unlined duct. 5. Duct liner in roll for" shall be folded and co"pressed in the corners of rectangular duct sections or shall be cut and fit to assure a lapped co"pressed corner #oint 6. Duct liner in sheet for" shall be cut and fit to assure tight over-lapped corner #oints. Top pieces of liner shall be supported at the edges by the side pieces I. Any da"age to the air strea" surface "ust be repaired by coating the da"aged area with adhesive or coating designed for duct liner application. Adhesive or coating shall "eet re!uire"ents of ASTM,0+1 3.03 7"e!( 8ua!"%y C&n%r&! A. Jpon co"pletion of installation of lined duct and before 69A, syste" start-up visually inspect the ductwork and verify that duct liner has been correctly installed. ,onfir" that the duct syste" is free fro" construction debris. 4. After the lined duct syste" is co"pletely installed and ready for service conduct a final inspection of the entire syste". This inspection should include at "ini"u" the following steps$ +. ,heck all registers grilles and diffusers to ensure that they are clean and free fro" construction debris. &. ,heck all filters in accordance with their "anufacturer8s instructions. Jse specified grade of filters at all ti"es that syste" is operating. :. ,over supply openings with filter "edia prior to syste" start-up to catch any loose "aterial that "ay re"ain inside the ductwork. ;. Turn the 69A, syste" on and allow it to run until steady state operation is reached. '. Be"ove the te"porary filter "edia fro" supply openings and along with it any loose "aterial blown downstrea" and caught by the filter "edia. 1. ,heck to ensure that air delivery perfor"ance "eets all re!uire"ents and co"plies with SMA,2A leakage specifications. 3.09 Pr&%ec%"&n
