About this file

This document is a technical specification (Section 09 29 00) for gypsum board installation at the Cincinnati Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) as part of a fire alarm system upgrade project. The specification provides detailed requirements for gypsum board products, including Type X gypsum board (5/8 inch thick), water-resistant gypsum backing board, and glass mat gypsum panels. Installation guidelines cover various aspects such as board placement, fastening techniques, finishing methods, and specific requirements for different construction types (single-ply, two-ply, and three-ply assemblies).

Key technical requirements include using post-consumer recycled paper for board facings, following ASTM standards for installation and finishing, and achieving a Level 4 finish for public-facing areas. The specification also addresses special considerations for acoustical, fire-rated, and sound-rated partitions, including sealing electrical box penetrations and maintaining construction integrity. The document is part of the bid documents for Project No. 539-22-101, with a focus on precise installation techniques and quality standards for gypsum board applications in the VA medical center renovation project.

B. Install gypsum board in accordance with ASTM C840, except as otherwise specified.

C. Moisture and Mold–Resistant Assemblies: Provide and install moisture and mold-resistant glass mat gypsum wallboard products with moisture-resistant surfaces complying with ASTM C1658 where shown and in locations which might be subject to moisture exposure during construction.

D. Use gypsum boards in maximum practical lengths to minimize number of end joints.

E. Bring gypsum board into contact, but do not force into place.

F. Blow-Out Patches:

1. Holes over 3” diameter shall have patches screwed into stud framing. Provide supplemental framing as required.

09 29 00 - 4

2. Holes under 3” diameter may be laminated with full buttering of back of gypsum board and 6” minimum overlap of gypsum board at each side of opening. Use Type G screws to hold gypsum board patch in place.

G. Ceilings:

1. For single-ply construction, use perpendicular application.

2. For two-ply assembles:

a. Use perpendicular application.

b. Apply face ply of gypsum board so that joints of face ply do not occur at joints of base ply with joints over framing members.

H. Walls:

1. When gypsum board is installed parallel to framing members, space fasteners 300 mm (12 inches) on center in field of the board, and

200 mm (8 inches) on center along edges.

2. When gypsum board is installed perpendicular to framing members, space fasteners 300 mm (12 inches) on center in field and along edges.

3. Stagger screws on abutting edges or ends.

4. For single-ply construction, apply gypsum board with long dimension either parallel or perpendicular to framing members as required to minimize number of joints except gypsum board shall be applied vertically over "Z" furring channels.

5. For two-ply gypsum board assemblies, apply base ply of gypsum board to assure minimum number of joints in face layer. Apply face ply of wallboard to base ply so that joints of face ply do not occur at joints of base ply with joints over framing members.

6. For three-ply gypsum board assemblies, apply plies in same manner as for two-ply assemblies, except that heads of fasteners need only be driven flush with surface for first and second plies. Apply third ply of wallboard in same manner as second ply of two-ply assembly, except use fasteners of sufficient length enough to have the same penetration into framing members as required for two-ply assemblies.

7. No offset in exposed face of walls and partitions will be permitted because of single-ply and two-ply or three-ply application requirements.

I. Acoustical or Sound Rated Partitions, Fire and Smoke Partitions:

09 29 00 - 5

1. Cut gypsum board for a space approximately 3 mm to 6 mm (1/8 to 1/4 inch) wide around partition perimeter.

2. Coordinate for application of caulking or sealants to space prior to taping and finishing.

3. For sound rated partitions, use sealing compound (ASTM C919) to fill the annular spaces between all receptacle boxes and the partition finish material through which the boxes protrude to seal all holes and/or openings on the back and sides of the boxes. STC minimum values as shown.

J. Electrical and Telecommunications Boxes:

1. Seal annular spaces between electrical and telecommunications receptacle boxes and gypsum board partitions.

K. Accessories:

1. Set accessories plumb, level and true to line, neatly mitered at corners and intersections, and securely attach to supporting surfaces as specified.

2. Install in one piece, without the limits of the longest commercially available lengths.

3.2 FINISHING OF GYPSUM BOARD

A. Finish joints, edges, corners, and fastener heads in accordance with

ASTM C840. Use Level 4 finish for al finished areas open to public view.

B. Before proceeding with installation of finishing materials, assure the following:

1. Gypsum board is fastened and held close to framing or furring.

2. Fastening heads in gypsum board are slightly below surface in dimple formed by driving tool.

C. Finish joints, fasteners, and all openings, including openings around penetrations, on that part of the gypsum board extending above suspended ceilings to seal surface of non-decorated smoke barrier, fire rated, and sound rated gypsum board construction. After the installation of hanger rods, hanger wires, supports, equipment, conduits, piping and similar work, seal remaining openings and maintain the integrity of the smoke barrier, fire rated, and sound rated construction/ Sanding is not required of non-decorated surfaces.

09 29 00 - 6

3.3 REPAIRS

A. After taping and finishing has been completed, and before decoration, repair all damaged and defective work, including nondecorated surfaces.

B. Patch holes or openings 13 mm (1/2 inch) or less in diameter, or equivalent size, with a setting type finishing compound or patching plaster.

C. Repair holes or openings over 13 mm (1/2 inch) diameter, or equivalent size, with 16 mm (5/8 inch) thick gypsum board secured in such a manner as to provide solid substrate equivalent to undamaged surface.

D. Tape and refinish scratched, abraded or damaged finish surfaces including cracks and joints in non-decorated surface to provide smoke tight construction fire protection equivalent to the fire rated construction and STC equivalent to the sound rated construction.
