How much do I need?

To determine the quantity of Nixalite® needed, carefully measure the depth and length of the surface. Take these dimensions and refer to the Surface Depth Specification Charts shown below. The total of Nixalite® required (T), is found by multiplying the row or rows required for the surface depth (RR) by the length of the surface (L). (RR x L=T)

How do I space it?

Now that you know how much Nixalite® will be needed, you need to know how to space the Nixalite® strips on the surface. Nixalite® Space-I-Fications provide simple rules and tolerances for positioning the Nixalite® strips on the surface. See drawings A through I for illustrations.


A

Always measure from the middle of the base strip

B

5" (12.7 cm) max. and 3 1/2" (8.9 cm) min. between models N, L and S Nixalite®. 2 1/2" (6.4 cm) max. and 2" (5.1 cm) min. between model H and  models N, L or S Nixalite®.

C

1 1/4" (3.2 cm) max. from the outside edge to the base strip of the first row for models N, L and S Nixalite®.

D

2 3/4" (7.0 cm) max. from inside wall to base strip for models N, L and S, 3/4" (1.9cm) max. from inside wall to base strip for model H Nixalite®.

E

Extend Nixalite® base strip at least 1/2" (1.3 cm) over ends of surface.

F

Nixalite® needles must extend over the outside edge at least 1/2" (1.3 cm).

G

Model W has a max. 2" (5.1cm) surface width coverage.

H

Position Model W a max. of 2 3/4" (7.0) vertical distance from installation surface.

I

Clips fastened 7/8" (2.2 cm) above the base strip fo Model W.
