CONTRACT NO.: AUH.06.18.0684
1 SCOPE
This method statement covers onsite installation of insulation for HVAC duct work
manufactured from hot dipped galvanized steel sheet to SMACNA.
This procedure provides instructions for the Fire rated insulation of smoke management duct
works. It defines the intent, scope and nature of the insulation process adhering to standards
that will be followed by the Team during Installation at the Customer's Premises during the
Installation phase of the project.
2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to define the method to be used to ensure that insulation
for prefabricated duct are correct, acceptable, and confirming to the contract documents and
general specifications and that all Project personnel are aware of their specific
responsibilities in order to ensure the above requirements are met.

6 PROCEDURE.
- Carbon steel banding material, minimum 19mm wide with steel banding clips.
- Fixing accessories: Hand banding tensioner, Blanket cutting knife / Scissor, crimping
Tool.
6.1.1 General.
- This section shall comply with with Estidama requirements for Non-Polluting Materials
(SM-1) credit.
- All insulation material shall have Zero Ozone Depletion Potential, and less than Five Global
Warming Potential (GWP<5).
- Canvas jacket and all insulation material shall be non-combustible, or self- extinguishing
non-flame spread grade.
- Insulation in exposed areas, I.e. permanent visible, shall be protected with aluminium
cladding.
- Surface-Burning Characteristics: Flame-spread index of 25, and smoke-developed index of 50
for insulation installed indoors; according to ASTM E 84.
- The Duct to be insulated and the relevant insulation material shall be as specified in project
specification Section 23 07 13_Clause No.1.3.
- The minimum insulation R-Value applied to ducts shall comply with ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Table
6.8.2.B

CONTRACT NO.: AUH.06.18.0684
- Check the bill of materials for conformance with the purchase order and material submittals.
- Ensure that all materials used have passed receiving inspection in accordance with QA
procedures and are not damaged or defective. Any non-conforming materials must be
labelled by storekeeper and returned to quarantine area in accordance with procedure.
- Ensure that all required materials, tools and equipment are available at the site

6.6.1 Methodology
- Derived from Applus test APF 1446, for single layer low smoke temperature-25mm x
96kg/m3 with 3 inch overlapping at joints.
- Pins specification: When applicable, 12 Gage (3 mm) steel pins are installed on 12" (305mm)
centers along the width of the duct and 10-1/2" (270mm) centers along the length of the
duct. The length of the pins to be minimum 13 mm more than the thickness of the
insulation. Horizontal ducts are pinned from the bottom side and vertical ducts are pinned
on the widest side at 12 inch CC.
- Pins are welded using Capacitor discharge pin welding method. Pinning is done to avoid
sagging of blankets.
- Laying the blanket on the Duct and tape the starting edge on the longitudinal center of the
duct, wrap the Firemaster blanket onto to the duct sides and bottom.
- Securely tighten such that there no significant bulge on the blanket.
- Overlap the longitudinal edges by 3 inch. Tightly compress the longitudinal edges together
and temporarily tape it with a Aluminum foil or Aluglass tape to hold position.
- The steel banding is placed around the blanket and tightened/ tensioned to firmly hold the
Fastwrap XL in place against the duct, but not to cause any cutting or damage to the blanket.
- Banding is sealed or crimped with a steel Band seal on any face of the duct.
- Similarly install the adjacent layer overlapping the first layer by 3in at all seems.
- Blankets shall be impaled on the bottom side where the pins are welded.
- A friction fit washer is used to compress the blanket and to fix it in place.
- Pins that extend beyond washer shall be turned down or the excessive length cut off to
prevent sharp edges.
Applus system.
- If the damaged area is larger than 8" (203mm) x 8" (203mm) the entire wrap section must be
removed and replaced according to our installation instructions.
- If the damaged area is small (less than 8" (203mm) x 8" (203mm)), the damaged area must
be cut away and replaced with a new section 1" (25mm) larger in length and width than the
cut out, such that the new section can be compressed tightly into the cut out area. All cut
edges of the new section must be taped and sealed with aluminum foil tape. The new
section must be held in place with either pinning or banding per our installation instructions.
6.6.5.1 Limitations:
- Morgan FireMaster FastWrap XL shall be installed in accordance with these installation
instructions and appropriate laboratory design listings.
- The integrity of FastWrap XL systems is limited to the quality of the installation.
A risk assessment analyzing potential risks and their mitigation measures is attached to this
method statement.
