PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1 CUBICLE CURTAIN TRACKS

A. Basis of Design were On The Right Track.

B. Wall Mounted Type:

1. Contractor shall submit bid using only flat track system and curtain fabric specified.

2. The Flat Track system cannot use ceiling supports and needs to be engineered to mount from wall to wall. Each Flat Track installation must have custom bends as needed pursuant to each location’s requirement. The track system must be seamless and manufactured as one solid track to increase overall strength and meet the facilities requirements.

3. The Flat Track will include custom “Easy On – Easy Off” cubicle curtains that works with the Flat Track support system. Cubicle

Curtains must be manufactured as one continuous curtain across the length of the Flat Track rail, the cubicle system must not use enclosed carrier track hooks and meet all other requirements needed by the facility such as using fabric that meets or exceeds NFPA701 standards.

C. Curtain Carriers: Carriers are integral to the curtain.

10 21 23 - 3

1. The Flat Track support beam is designed to work with an Easy On/

Easy Off open C-type fast install and removal curtain system. Cubicle curtains are manufactured flat and typically sized approximately 10% wider than the track length, unless specified otherwise. The curtain height and width will remain consistent 68 inch x 80 inch and curtains should be finished approximately 8-10 inches above finished floor, as suggested by Joint Commission’s patient privacy standards. This distance will allow for ease in periodic floor cleaning and prevents mop and/or floor cleaner from coming in direct contact with cubicle curtain, soiling the treatment. The cubicle curtains should be 68 inch x 80 inch and they must use a commercial grade of molded synthetic polymer C-type rings that allow for Easy On-Easy Off handling by environmental services and nursing staff. Th ring system must mount on the .25 inch x 1.5 inch Flat Track and must glide effortlessly without binding over the life of the curtain. The C-type rings will be inserted and spaced 6.75 inch apart on a 4.75 inch NFPA approved vinyl breathable mesh fabric that is integrated to ½ inch vertical and horizontal hole size opening mesh (minimum 70% open) allows for fire sprinkler penetration in the unfortunate case of fire. The mesh will be required to have a minimum 18 inch drop from sprinkler head to fabric. If the distance of the Flat Track is farther than the 18 inch drop, then mesh may not be necessary to meet patient privacy standards.

The bottom hem of the cubicle curtain is double folded and 2 inches.

The side hems are double folded and 1 inch. All hems and seams are sewn with a double needle lock stitch. All vertical seams are serge and sewn with a double needle lock stitch for maximum durability.

2. The cubicle fabric will contain the following characteristics to be approved by the facility: meet NFPA 701 flame spread requirements for vertical flammability (flame spread certification paperwork must be supplied.

3. Fabric: As indicated in Finish Schedule with written approval upon submittal prior to fabrication. A minimum 10% “attic stock” of curtains will be left for future use.

2.4 FASTENERS

A. Exposed Fasteners, Screws and Bolts: The Flat Track support beam is secured to the wall(s) using 4 each ¼ inch Hilti Toggle Bolt’s. The bolts shall be brilliant white in color to match the mounting plate.

10 21 23 - 4

2.5 FINISHES

A. Aluminum: Finishing shall consist of a cleaning process consisting of a degreasing and rinse cycle followed by a hot air drying prior to finishing. The finish shall be powder coated with U.V. resistant TGIC polyester “brilliant white” in color. Finished coat shall be 3 to 5 millimeters thick with a cure temperature of 375 to 400 degrees

Fahrenheit. An optional antimicrobial powder coat finish is available.

The antimicrobial powder coating technology uses environmentally sustainable silver ions to resist growth and spread of microbes even on lightly scratched surface.

2.6 FABRICATION

A. The Flat Track support beam is 1.5 inches high, .25 inches thick having a .25 inch radius on top and bottom of the track and weighs .816 pounds per foot. Vertical ceiling supports are not required for this product for lengths under 12 feet. The curtain support beam deflection for an

8 foot length loaded at the center at 35 pounds is 1/2 inch without permanent deformation. The curtain support will be attached to the walls at both ends using a .1875 inch thick by 2 inch wide by 4 inch high mounting plate having 4 chamfered 5/16 inch mounting holes. The base plates will be welded to the curtain support bar 360 degrees around with a minimum of .125 inch fillet aluminum weld. All radius bends will be smooth rolled from one continuous piece of 6036 T6 high grade aluminum and inspected for weld fractures and stress prior to finishing.

E. Shop assemble components and package complete with anchors and fittings.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 INSTALLATION

A. Install tracks after finish painting and ceiling finishing operations are complete.

B. The Flat Track system must be mounted halfway between the ceiling and the top of the door jamb/ opening into each room. The System will allow the curtains to stack without interference from patients walking into the room.

D. Anchor surface mounted curtain tracks to concrete, plaster and gypsum board.

10 21 23 - 5

H. Remove damaged or defective components and replace with new components or repair to the original condition.

I. Install track rigid, plumb, level and true, and securely anchored to the overhead construction.

J. Verify that carrier units operate smoothly and easily over the full range of travel.
