ASSEMBLY of ProTEC CONCRETE STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANEL

The ProTEC panels are manufactured with grooves on all four sides to accept the steel components. This grooving applies to the regular panel whose sides are 90 degrees to the panel face. The following is a simple explanation on the building of a wall and a corner using the ProTEC panel, the steel components and the proprietary fasteners.

In the building of a wall, the steel base or sill C channel is anchored to a slab, foundation wall, floor or platform, with the web side down and the legs projecting up from the mounting surface. Appropriate fasteners such as diameter by 3 to 4 long wedge bolts or x 3 or 4 lag bolts or cast in place dia. Bolts are used to secure the sill channel to the floor.

The recommended method of fastening panels to the Sill channel and the H and half H studs as well as the top track is to apply the FOMO brand expanding urethane adhesive in the slots of the panels to be joined as well as a serpentine bead of the adhesive applied between the grooves of the panel edges and top and bottom. Apply the adhesive in the side grooves to within 4 of the top of the panel. If applied any higher, the adhesive will expand into the top and side grooves and will prevent the top track from properly seating when it is later installed. A panel is then set on the sill channel with the channel legs in the bottom grooves of the panel. Steel H-studs are then inserted into the panels side grooves and a second panel is installed on the sill channel and slid into the first panel so that the H-studs are inserted into the side grooves of this second panel. The proprietary #14 x 4-1/4 dual threaded fasteners are placed thru the face of the concrete skin and into both legs of the H, Half H or top and bottom track. These screws should not be placed in the upper corners of the panels until the Top Track is installed as it must be fastened to the H and H/2 studs.

The head of the fastener should slightly imbed into the concrete face of the panels and flush with the surface. These dual threaded fasteners are placed in each corner of the panel and at the 1/3 points on the vertical edges of the panels. Eight fasteners are placed on each side of the panel for a total of 16 fasteners per panel. When 4 or 5 panels have been installed on the sill channel and secured to it and the H-studs, the steel top track C channel can be installed, web side up with the legs into the grooves on the top of the panels. All panels should be secured to the top plate with the fasteners. Adhesive must be used when using the #14 x 4-1/4 fasteners in the above described pattern.

In building a corner, the steel base or sill channel is anchored as above forming a 90-degree corner. One corner panel unit is set on top of the sill channel at the corner with the sill channel legs in the bottom grooves of the panel. The second corner unit panel is set on the sill channel with the sill channel legs in the bottom grooves of the corner unit panel. Both corner unit panels are then connected to the steel sill channel and the steel angles with the proprietary fasteners thus forming a corner. When sufficient panels are connected to the corner, the steel top plate is installed and connected as explained above, using the FOMO adhesive and the #14 x 4-1/4 screws.

To assist the reader in understanding this process, enclosed is a 19 page section entitled Illustrated Assembly Instructions, which pictorially shows how the panels go together to build an exterior load bearing wall for a small building.

Also enclosed is a section entitled Construction Details, which includes various typical construction details and perspective drawings.

GENERAL INFORMATION, RECOMMENDATIONS & INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

Keep all panels, steel components and fasteners protected from theelements prior to installation.

Store the panels laying flat. Do not drop panels. Remove debris from the foundation wall, slab, or floor, so that the sill

channel can be connected securely thereto. Remove debris from sill channel area prior to the placement of a panel on

the sill channel. Use care in placing panels on the sill channels. The sill channel must be installed back from the edge of the foundation

wall, slab, or floor, so that the outer panel skin bears on the foundation,slab, or floor.

The sill and top channels shall be installed so that the butt joint betweenchannels does not occur less than 12 from any panel joint.

The top channel shall be installed so that the overlap joint betweenchannels does not occur in the header above a window, door, or otheropening in the wall.

During the process of assembling and plumbing the panels, connect thecorners of the panels to the steel components with the proprietary screws.

It is recommended that the building of the panel wall start with theassembly an erection of a corner.

The corner panel units and steel angles making up the corner assemblyshall be plumbed and fastened together before proceeding further.

When the next panel is installed snug to the corner, plumb the corner andthe panel and fasten them to the sill channel and to each other.

As additional panels are installed, they must be snug to the previouslyerected panels and plumbed prior to the installation of the fasteners.

Adequate bracing of panel walls must be provided during erection.Bracing should occur every 10 to 15 of wall length and should betemporarily secured to the wall panel and the interior floor or staked tothe exterior ground to insure against blow over in the event of excessivewind conditions.

It is recommended that the top channel be installed and secured as theerection of the wall proceeds and only after there is sufficient length ofwall to accommodate a top channel.

FOUNDATION & SLAB ON GRADE

Foundation walls and the outer edges of slabs on grade should be level,square, have a smooth top free of irregularities, and have sides that arestraight. Standard corners should be 90 degrees.

The use of Sill Seal or equivalent material, or silicone caulking isrecommended between the top of the foundation wall or slab and thesteel sill channel.

Steel bottom track shall be anchored to the foundation as per code.Where permitted by local building codes, 3 or 4 Wedge Bolts are to beused every three feet on center to anchor sill channel to the foundationor slab. They should be placed within 6 of the intersection of the H orH/2 studs.

When the steel channel is used as a sole plate attached to a woodsubstructure and perpendicular to the floor joists, it will be attached toeach joist it crosses using a Lag Screw. Where the steel sole channel islaid parallel to the floor joists, on an end or rim joist, as shown in DetailFS-4, it shall be attached every three feet on center using the same screwindicated above. They should be placed within 6 of the intersection ofthe H or H/2 studs.

It is recommended that at the corners, the still channels be formed andinstalled as shown in Detail FS-9.

To prevent water infiltration at the sill channel, it is recommended thatMoist Stop e-Z Seal or equivalent material be used as shown in Details FS-1, FS-1A and FS-3A through FS-8A.

In situations where the exterior wall finish is applied directly to thepanel, such as a hard coat or elastomeric finish, Urethane Caulking asshown in Detail FS-2, is recommended to prevent water infiltration. Inaddition Urethane Caulking can be used as an alternate for Forti-Flash E-ZSeal type material.

It is recommended that THERMADRY Insulating Drainage Panels beinstalled on the exterior of the foundation walls, as shown in Details FS-4through FS-7.

STEEL COMPONENTS & FASTENERS

All steel components, angles, channels, and H-studs, used as part of the ProTEC panel system shall be G-60 Galvanized Steel. Top and bottom track shall be a minimum of 20 gauge and the H and H/2 studs shall be a minimum of 18 gauge.

All steel components not normally part of the ProTEC panel system, but used as part of the structure with the ProTEC panel system, i.e. the studs, structural C channel and structural track shown in Detail WC-11, shall be a minimum of 20 gauge G-60 steel and sufficient to handle the loads placed upon them.

WALLS Walls having corners other than 90 degrees can generally be constructed

by using metal components having corresponding angles and using standard fabrication procedures.

It is recommended that at the corners, the top channel be installed as shown in Detail RJC-1.

In situations where one 2 x 4 wood top plate is used in addition to the steel top channel, as shown in Detail RJC-8 OR RJC-8A, the wood top plate shall be connected to the steel top channel with a corrosion resistant 2 flat or pan head screw every 24 on center.

In situations where a second 2 x 4 wood top plate is used on top of a wood top plate that is already connected to the steel top channel, as indicated above, the second wood top plate can be connected to the steel top channel, as indicated above, the second wood top plate can be connected using screws, as per code requirement.

All panel joints shall be sealed with the fiberglass mesh and WaterArmor. For rough openings for standard windows, steel channels shall be inserted into the jamb, sill, and header panels. All panel components shall be connected to the steel components using the T Clear proprietary fasteners. See Details WD-1, WD-2 and WD-3.

For rough openings for standard doors, steel and panel components are connected in the same fashion as described above, without the sill panel or bottom track. See Details WD-2 and WD-3

For exterior rough openings, all headers, jambs and sills shall be back wrapped with T Clear Fiberglass mesh embedded in WaterArmor or equal.

ROOF TO EXTERIOR WALL CONNECTIONS

Whether the roof structure is joist and rafter construction or roof truss construction, it is connected to the exterior wall steel top channel using steel connectors (Truss Clips/Joist Hangers). Refer to Details RJC-2 through RJC-7 and RJC-9

Where the roof structure is metal, screws shall be used to connect the USP Ties, or equivalents, to metal roof components and the proprietary screws used to connect the Ties to the metal top channel.

Where the roof structure is wood, screws can be used to connect the USP Ties to wood roof components and the proprietary used to connect the Ties to the metal top channel.

Where it is necessary to connect three metal components to the panel, i.e. a USP Tie to an H-stud and a top C channel, only the proprietary screw fastener shall be used.

ELECTRICAL

Each panel has two vertical electrical chases, See Detail WC-9 Electrical boxes can be installed in the panel by lining up the box location

with the electrical chase, cutting the panel skin to accommodate the boxand removing enough panel core material to accommodate the box. ARoto Zip tool is recommended for cutting the panel skin and a Hot Knifecan be used for quick and easy removal of the foam core.

The electrical box is secured to the panel by using what is commonlycalled an old work box or by using metal F Clips or Hold-Its.

Panels are available with electrical box cutouts already cut along thevertical electrical chase that the electrician can easily install the electricalboxes.

Never cut the panels skin to provide an additional electrical chase orchange the direction of the electrical chase.

Cut, punch or saw 1 diameter holes in the top and/or bottomchannels so that these holes line up with the electrical chases that will beused. A drill with a step drill bit is recommended.

Remove the burr from these holes and install an appropriately sizedgrommet prior to the installation of electrical wire.

When the electrical wires are being run from below, the 1 hole shouldbe made in the sole channel so it lines up with the vertical electricalchase, prior to the installation of the panel on the bottom track channel.

When the electrical wires are being run from above, the 1 hole shouldbe made in the top channel so it lines up with the vertical electrical chase,prior to or during the installation of the top channel.

Be sure to cut, punch or drill holes before installing roof trusses, rafters,or joists. It is recommended that all wire chases be drilled and grommetsinserted to allow for future expansion.

Window bases that sit directly on a concrete slab or foundation shall haveno electrical outlets for there is no way to run the wiring to the outlet

FIELD FABRICATION

Even on factory fabricated panels; slight modifications may be necessaryto accommodate variations due to field conditions. The most commonmodifications include cutting the panel to reduce its width, cuttingheaders and windowsills, and cutting panels to accommodate specialsituations. In most cases, modifications to panels are not difficult tomake.

It is recommended that a circular saw with a carbide tip blade be used tocut the panel. Because of the thickness of the panel, the use of a handheld circular saw requires a cut be made on each side of the panel.

It is important that accurate measurements are made and the cut line ismarked on each side of the panel. Mark the first side and square acrossthe panel to transfer reference points to the second side. Using thereference points, mark the second side.

The marking of both sides of the panel should be complete before any cutis made.

It is recommended that a pencil be used to mark the cut lines. The use ofa chalk line is not generally recommended, because the chalk line can beeasily wiped away in handling or blown away b y the approaching sawblade. Thus, there is little or no cut line to follow.

Metal straight edges and framing squares are helpful tools for markinglines.

Care should be taken to follow the cut line. Where applicable, use shouldbe made of the guide bar on the circular saw.

Use the maximum depth of cut setting and make a straight cut followingthe cut line. Flip the panel over and make another straight cut followingthe cut line.

For cuts close to the panels edge, use the guide bar on the circular saw. The cutting of the panel will remove some or the entire factory installed

slots necessary for the installation of the steel components. These willhave to be replaced as follows:

o Set the circular saw blade depth at 2 1/8.o If the factory install slots have been completely removed, set the

circular saw guide bar, if possible, so that the blade will cut alongthe slots to deepen them to 2 1/8

o If the factory-installed slots have been removed, use the slots onboth ends of the panel to set the guide bar on the circular saw, ifpossible. If it is not possible to use the guide bar, mark the cutlines on the panel. Then either using the guide bar or cut lines, cutthe new 2 1/8 deep slots.

Headers cut for spans greater than 3 feet should not contain an electrical chase.

Should there be any questions during the installation process, please call the T. Clear Toll Free number 800-544-7398 prior to performing a non-reversible process.

Step 2. Set one section of the panel corner unit on the base channel and

install the steel angles.

Step 3. Fit the second section of the panel corner unit to the steel angles and on to the sill channel, making sure that it is snug to the first section of the corner unit. Be certain the panel corner units are snug, square and plumb. Using the proprietary screws, attach the panel corner units to the sill channel in the bottom corners. Using pneumatic nails attach both panel corner sections to the steel angles. Do not install the top-most fasteners at this time. The top-most fasteners are intended to connect the corner unit and subsequent panelsto the steel top plate, and will be installed at a later time.

Step 4. Insert an H-stud into each side of the corner unit.

-

I . t

-

Step 5. Set panel onto the sill channel and against the corner unit. Repeat

this process on the other side of the corner unit. Plumb the corner unit

and panels. Using the screw fasteners, connect the corner unit and panels

to the H-studs and sill channel. Check the panel to verify that it is plumb,

level and in the correct position. Then screw off the bottom corners and

the center of the panel edge to the H-stud, half "H", corner angle and sill

channel. Next, nail the rest of the panel off, both inside and out, every 8

inches on center.

Step 6. Install the half "H" from sill to top of panel. Connect

the window base half "H" with pan head screws.

Using fasteners, connect the channel to the panel. Do not install the fasteners

where the header will be installed.

Step 7. Set the window base panel onto the sill channel and against the

previously installed panel. Insert the steel window sill channel into the top

of the window base panel and the window base half "H" into the open

end of the window base panel. Using the fasteners, connect the window base panel to the window sill, half "H" and sill channels

Step 8. Connect the full steel half "H" to the window base channel with pan head screws. Set the panel onto the sill and into the half "H". Screw off and nail the full panel to the half "H".

Step 9. Install the window header channel into the opening and connect

it to the half "H"s with pan head screws.

Step 10. Install the window header panel into the opening and install splines.

Using fasteners, connect the panels to the steel splines, jamb, header, and

sill channels. Do not install the top row of fasteners across the panel at

this time.

Step 11. Install the steel top channel into all panels, header panels, and corner units as the erection of the wall proceeds.

If uplift is not a consideration, the top track should be fastened to all panels, header panels and corners as the top channels are installed. If clip angles are used to connect to the roof framing, they can be installed now.

If hurricane or uplift ties are required, they should be installed with the top track and fastened to the panels, header panels, and corners, at the same time. Make certain that the locations of the hurricane/uplift ties coincide with the locations of the structural roof members being tie down.

Step 12. Repeat Steps 2 & 3 for the installation of an additional corner unit,

Steps 4 & 5 for wall panels.Steps 6 through 10 to create a window

opening, and Step 11 for the installation of the top track.

Step 15. CONNECTING ROOF STRUCTURE TO THE COMPLETED EXTERIOR WALL

Depending on the design of the roof structure (i.e. joist, rafter, tr1.1ss, etc.), it is installed in the same manner as it would be on a conventionally built wood

frame, metal frame or wood panel wall.

In the case of:

A. CONVENTIONAL NON-UPLIFT SITUATIONS

- NO WOOD TOP PLATE

- For a light steel frame roof structure, clip angles and screws are used to connectroof structure to the steel top channel.- For a wood roof structure, screws are used to connect the clip angle to the. steeltop channel and screws are used to connect the wood to the clip angle.

WOOD TOP PLATE-For a light steel frame roof structure, screws can be used to connect the clip

angle to the wood top plate and screws are used to connect the roof structure to

the clip angles.

-For a wood roof structure, clip angles are not necessary, the wood roof structure

can be connected to the wood top plate using nails.

B. HURRICANE/ UPLIFT SITUATIONS

-Hurricane or uplift ties have been connected to the steel top channels with screws.

-A wood roof structure is connected to the hurricane ties with nails or screws.

-A light steel roof structure is connected to the hurricane ties with screws.

The following three drawings illustrate the installation of a wood truss roof system to an exterior wall.
