PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

1.A. Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared. 1.A.1. Before placing sheet, verify the sub-floor is sloped toward drain 1/4 inch (6 mm) per foot using cement mortar if required, and is free of loose objects or projections.

1.B. If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.

3.2 PREPARATION

2.A. Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.

2.B. Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.

3.3 INSTALLATION 09305-7 3.A. Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

3.B. Waterproof Sheet Membrane Installation: 3.B.1. Turn-up sheet along walls not less than 3 inches (76 mm) above curb line, allowing sufficient material to wrap over the curb and extend at least 6 inches onto floor. Pairs of pre-made curb protectors (outside corners) are available. 3.B.2. Notch wood studs to 1/2 inch (13 mm) to the height of the pan to allow sheet to be flush with face of the studs. 3.B.3. Place 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 13 mm) furring strips to metal studs above the top of the pan. 3.B.4. Place 15 lb. felt underlayment on substrate before installing sheet membrane. 3.B.5. Fasten 3 inches (76 mm) or higher above the top of curb. Use flathead roofing nails or staples on wood studs. Use drywall screws and washers on metal studs. 3.B.6. Fold corners and tuck 'dog ear' behind pan towards the wall. Do not cut pan corners. 3.B.7. Seaming: Lay sheets with an overlap of two inches (51 mm) with upper lap edge towards direction of watershed. Fold back top edge and apply the cement to both surfaces. Place together after surfaces become tacky, about two minutes, and press or roll with a roller, first lightly so as to avoid slippage, then firmly, but not so hard as to distort the material. 3.B.8. Use hold-down clamping-ring type drain with weep-holes. Set sub-drain lip flush with subfloor. 3.B.9. Trim for drain exactly to size of drain opening. Do not trim out to bolt holes, but pierce to accommodate bolts with a tight fit. 3.B.10. Bolt clamping ring firmly. Place a small amount of gravel or other porous material at weep holes so they remain clear when setting bed is placed.

3.C. Crack Isolation Waterproof Sheet Membrane Installation: 3.C.1. Substrate Bond Coat: 3.C.1.a. Latex Portland cement mortar complying with ANSI A118.4 containing a dry latex, or liquid latex additive. 3.C.1.b. Rapid setting latex mortar complying with ANSI A118.4. 3.C.2. Tile Setting Bed: 3.C.2.a. Thin-set method (ANSI A108.5) in accordance with TCNA Handbook requirements and using ANSI A118.4 latex Portland cement mortar. 3.C.2.b. Thick-setting mud bed method (ANSI A108.1) in accordance with TCNA Handbook requirements.

3.D. Sound Reduction Sheet Membrane Installation: 3.D.1. Substrate Bond Coat: 3.D.1.a. Latex Portland cement mortar complying with ANSI A118.4 containing a dry latex, or liquid latex additive. 09305-8 3.D.1.b. Rapid setting latex mortar complying with ANSI A118.4. 3.D.2. Tile Setting Bed: 3.D.2.a. Thin-set method (ANSI A108.5) in accordance with TCNA Handbook requirements and usingANSI A118.4 latex Portland cement mortar. 3.D.3. In waterproofing installations, the membrane shall be extended 6 inches (152 mm) minimum up the wall. 3.D.4. Acoustical Isolation: Acoustical sealant shall be installed at the perimeter of the floor and at penetrations of the floor inside the perimeters. There shall be a 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) wide joint at these locations, that continues through tile work. Neither tile nor setting mortar shall touch the walls or protruding pipes, etc.

3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

4.A. Prior to setting bed installation plug sub-drain and fill pan with water and let stand for 24 hours to insure clamping ring is tight and pan undamaged.

3.5 PROTECTION

5.A. Protect installed products until completion of project.

5.B. Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
