PART 3 – EXECUTION

3.01 EXAMINATION

A. Examine areas and conditions in which the wall guard will be installed.

1. Complete all finishing operations, including painting, before beginning installation of wall guard materials.

B. Wall surface shall be dry and free from dirt, grease and loose paint.

3.02 PREPARATION A. General: Prior to installation, clean substrate to remove dust, debris and loose particles.

3.03 INSTALLATION

A. General: Locate wall guard as indicated on the approved detail drawing for the appropriate substrate and in compliance with the IPC installation instructions. Install wall guard level and plumb at the height indicated on the drawings.

B. Installation of 700i700iW Infinity System Wall Guards:

1. Determine the height of the top of the wall guard above the finished floor. Deduct 3-7/8″ and snap a chalk line.

2. Ten aluminum retainer supports per 12′ (3.66m) length, spaced 16″ (406mm) on center are recommended. Position the centerline of a 2″ (51mm) aluminum retainer support on the chalk line. Start at one end, using an aluminum support as a template, transfer the locations of the two holes on each aluminum retainer support to the wall with a marker. At the beginning and end of each run allow 1-9/16″ (40mm) for end caps, 7/16″ (11mm) for outside corners and 1-9/16″ (40mm) for inside corners. Add approximately 1/16″ space between the end caps/ corners and the aluminum retainer support in order to allow for adjustments when attaching the vinyl cover.

3. Secure aluminum retainer supports to the wall using hardware provided (2 fasteners per support). When installing continuous lengths over 12′ (3.66m), use a splice behind the vinyl cover seam.

4. Drill all marked holes on the wall with a 1/4″ drill bit.

Position ALLIGATOR anchors into the holes on the wall and use #10 x 1-3/4″ phillips pan head screw to attach each aluminum retainer support to the wall. Level and tighten the aluminum retainer supports to the wall.

5. (700iW – Slide reveals onto end caps and corners.)

Slide the end caps and corners onto the aluminum supports, leaving a 1/16″ gap for adjustments, and secure by using two 1-1/4″ self-tapping screws per end cap or four per corner.

6. Cut the vinyl cover to the distance between the end caps/corners. NOTE: Trim all factory edges square before installation. Position the vinyl cover on the aluminum retainer supports starting at one end and working to the other end by pushing the cover over the aluminum until it snaps into place.

3.04 CLEANING A. At completion of the installation, clean surfaces in accordance with the IPC clean-up and maintenance instructions.
