Design/System/Construction/Assembly Usage Disclaimer

Authorities Having Jurisdiction should be consulted in all cases as to the particular requirements covering the installation and use of UL
Certified products, equipment, system, devices, and materials.
Authorities Having Jurisdiction should be consulted before construction.
Fire resistance assemblies and products are developed by the design submitter and have been investigated by UL for compliance with
applicable requirements. The published information cannot always address every construction nuance encountered in the field.
When field issues arise, it is recommended the first contact for assistance be the technical service staff provided by the product
manufacturer noted for the design. Users of fire resistance assemblies are advised to consult the general Guide Information for each
product category and each group of assemblies. The Guide Information includes specifics concerning alternate materials and alternate
methods of construction.
Only products which bear UL's Mark are considered Certified.

described herein which provide Class A, B or C coverings. See Roofing Materials and Systems Directory-Roof Covering
Materials (TEVT).

3. Roof Insulation* — Consisting of building units, foamed plastic or mineral and fiber boards, applied in one or more
layers. When multiple layers are used, end and side joints shall be offset a min of 12 in. in both directions in order to lap all
joints. See category for names of companies providing Classified products — Building Units (BZXX), Foamed Plastic (CCVW)
or Mineral and Fiber Boards (CERZ). Roof insulation shall be compatible with roof covering materials Class A, B or C system.
See Roofing Materials and Systems Directory-Roof Covering Materials (TEVT).

4. Adhesives — (Optional) — May be applied to steel roof deck units or between insulation layers at a max application rate
of 0.4 gal per 100 sq ft. See Adhesives (BYWR) category for names of manufacturers.

5. Steel Roof Deck — (Unclassified) — Fluted, No. 22 MSG min galv 1-1/2 in. deep with 3-1/2 in. wide flutes spaced 6 in.
OC. Ends overlapped a min 1-1/2 in. and welded to supports, 12 in. OC max. Adjacent units button-punched, welded or
fastened with No. 12 by 1/2 in. long self-drilling, self-tapping steel screws.

6. Spray-Applied Fire Resistive Materials* — Applied by mixing with water and spraying to the beam (or joist) surfaces
in one or more coats to the final min thicknesses shown below. Crest areas above the beam (or joist) shall be filled with
the Spray-Applied Fire Resistive Materials. Surfaces must be clean and free of dirt, loose scale and oil. Min average and min
individual density of 15 and 14 pcf, respectively, for Types 300, 300AC, 300ES, 300HS, 300N, 3000, 3000ES and SB. For
Types 400AC and 400ES min average and min individual density of 22 and 19 pcf, respectively. For method of density
determination see Design Information Section.

* Spray-Applied Fire Resistive Materials directly applied to joist contours. As an alternate, metal lath or nonmetallic fabric
mesh secured to one side of joist to catch overspray when spraying following joist contours. Metal lath to be fully covered
with Spray-Applied Fire Resistive Materials but with no min thickness requirements.

spaced min 12 in. OC along the top chord of the bar joists.

Another method of attachment is the use of 1-1/4 in. long, 1/2 in. wide hairpin clips formed from 0.064 in. diam steel wire,
alternating from top to bottom of the joist web member.
