Answer 33: Below is the list of standard options for the wash fountains:

Trap Enclosure/Pedestal:

STD Pedestal - Standard Height 34" Rim Drain Type:

A Off-line vent with supplies from below Controls IR Adaptive Infrared Activation Valve:

TMA Thermostatic Mixing Valve Soap Dispenser:

LSD* Liquid Soap Dispenser

Question 34: On detail partition type E, on drawing A-301, there is a note that says lockers are to be painted on interior and exterior, however on drawing A-502, typical locker detail, just the exterior is noted to be painted. Which is correct?

Answer 34: Drawing A-502 is correct. Paint only the exteriors of the wall lockers.

The proposal due date and time is hereby extended from December 6, 2007 to December 13, 2007, 2:00 PM.

FABRICATING RECOMMENDATIONS

Note: Protect your eyes with goggles; cover your nose and mouth with a filter mask when cutting Glasbord panels.

Hand fabricating: Drilling—High speed drill bit (60° cutting angle, with 12°-15° clearance) or hole saw.

Stapling: Standard pneumatic stapler.

Cutting: Sheet metal shears or circular saw with reinforced carborundum or carbide-tipped blade.

Production fabricating: Use carbide-tipped tools. Straight cuts can be sheared (90° cutting edge with 0.002" [0.05 mm] clearance) or sawed. For irregular cuts, use die punch or band saw.

STORAGE

All Kemlite products should be stored indoors.

SERVICEABLE TEMPERATURE RANGE

Panels will perform in temperatures from -40°F (-40°C) to 130°F (54°C). For use in environments beyond this range, contact Kemlite for recommendations.

PRODUCT LIMITATIONS

Near heat source: Glasbord panel products may discolor when installed near a heat source which radiates temperatures exceeding 130°F (55°C) such as cookers, ovens, and deep fryers.

Uneven surface: Installation over uneven concrete block walls may result in areas of delamination and bulging.

KEMLITE TESTING

Cleanability test: When Glasbord with Surfaseal and an ordinary frp panel are heavily soiled, the Glasbord panel exhibits up to 10 times more cleanability per MacBeth Computer Colorimeter.

Stain resistance test: Prolonged direct contact to concentrated ammonia-based cleaner exhibited no color change per MacBeth Computer Colorimeter.

NOTICE

Panels will provide a clean, aesthetically-pleasing finished installation. However, by nature, fiberglass reinforced plastic paneling may occasionally have small areas that are aesthetically unacceptable for use. Panels should be inspected on-site prior to installation. If any portion of material will not provide an acceptable appearance, Kemlite should be notified at once. Upon verification of unacceptability, that portion of material will be replaced by Kemlite. Kemlite’s sole responsibility is for the replacement of defective material but not for labor or other handling or installation expenses.

We believe all information given is accurate. It is offered in good faith, but without guarantee. Since conditions of use are beyond our control, all risks are assumed by the user. Nothing herein shall be construed as a recommendation for uses which infringe on valid patents or as extending a license under valid patents.

FLAME SPREAD AND SMOKE DEVELOPMENT RATINGS

The numerical flame spread and smoke development ratings are not intended to reflect hazards presented by Kemlite products or any other material under actual fire conditions. These ratings are determined by small-scale tests conducted by Underwriters Laboratories and other independent testing facilities using the American Society for Testing and Materials E-84 test standard (commonly referred to as the "Tunnel Test"). KEMLITE PROVIDES THESE RATINGS FOR MATERIAL COMPARISON PURPOSES ONLY. Like other organic building materials (e.g. wood), panels made of fiberglass reinforced plastic resins will burn. When ignited, frp may produce dense smoke very rapidly. All smoke is toxic. Fire safety requires proper design of facilities and fire suppression systems, as well as precautions during construction and occupancy. Local codes, insurance requirements and any special needs of the product user will determine the correct fire-rated interior finish and fire suppression system necessary for a specific installation.
