About this file

This is a specification section for roof and deck insulation work at the VA San Francisco Medical Center for the SPS Sterile Processing Service project (Project No. 662-23-105). The section covers the installation of roof and deck insulation, substrate board, vapor retarder, and cover board on existing concrete and metal deck substrates, along with repairs and alterations to existing roof insulation.

The specification requires a minimum overall average R-value of RSI-57 (R-33) and any location R-value of RSI-17 (R-10). Insulation products must comply with ASTM C1289 Type II Class 1 Grade 2 polyisocyanurate board with glass fiber reinforced cellulosic felt facers, or alternative materials including mineral fiberboard, perlite board, or cellular glass for tapered sections. Tapered roof insulation systems must maintain a minimum thickness of 38 mm (1.5 inches) and minimum slope of 1/48 (1/4 inch per 12 inches). Substrate boards must be glass-mat water-resistant gypsum roof board or cellulosic-fiber-reinforced gypsum per ASTM standards, 16 mm (5/8 inch) thick. Cover boards must meet similar specifications. Installation requires either adhered insulation using urethane adhesive or hot asphalt, mechanically fastened insulation using corrosion-resistant fasteners to resist uplift pressures, or a combination method. Insulation joints must be staggered minimum 150 mm (6 inches) between layers, and cover board joints must be offset from insulation joints minimum 6 inches. All materials must be delivered in original sealed packaging and stored indoors in dry conditions. The installer must meet the same qualifications as the Division 07 roofing section installer. Products must comply with UL listings, ASTM standards, ASHRAE Standard 90.1-13, ASCE 7-16, and NRCA Manual-15 guidelines.
