PART 2 PRODUCTS
2.1 OPERABLE WALLS shall
be manufactured by Panelfold, Inc., Miami, Florida, U.S.A. and installed by an authorized
representative of the manufacturer in openings prepared by others to Moduflex® Series 800
requirements.
2.2 OPERATION shall
consist of a series of manually operated flat panels, top supported. Top and bottom seals
shall be as specified in paragraph 2.8.
2.3 PANEL CONFIGURATION
shall be as follows for areas indicated on the plans:
2.3.1 MODEL 810 shall be comprised of a
series of pre-programmed, individual panels, side or remote stacking (located in
room(s):).
2.3.2 Final closure shall be effected by (specify: Jamb-Hinged Single or
bi-fold Panels; Expandable Panels; or Jamb-Hinged Communicating Panels).
2.4 PANELS shall be
one-piece 4" (102) thick, all-steel construction. Continuous steel panel faces shall
be invisibly welded to minimum 14 gauge (1.90) one-piece steel frames. Horizontal or
vertical spliced frames or faces shall not be permitted. Interlocking vertical panel edges
shall be made of steel.
The vertical edges of the panels shall not require trim
thus minimizing the appearance of the vertical joining of the Sheer-Look® panels.
2.5 PANELS shall be
factory surfaced with one of the following (colors to be selected from manufacturer's
standards):
2.5.1 Manufacturer's standard vinyl,
Class A flame spread (specify Type I; or Type II).
2.5.2 Manufacturer's standard Ribtex®, vertical-rib wall carpeting, Class A minimum weight 21 oz. per
lineal yard, fused bonded backing.
2.5.3 Manufacturer's Woventex®, panel fabric, Class A. acrylic backed.
2.5.4 Maharam Tekwall 1000 panel fabric, Class A acrylic backed.
2.5.5 Customer's Own Material to be factory applied (subject to approval
by the manufacturer for suitability to standard manufacturing processes and equipment).
2.5.6 Coated steel panel faces for field surfacing by others.
2.6 HANGING WEIGHT of
panels shall not exceed 12 lbs./ft2 (58.6 Kg/m2).
2.7 ACOUSTICAL RATING as
tested by an independent acoustical laboratory in accordance with ASTM E90-81 test
procedures in a full scale 14'0" (4267) by 9'3" (2819) opening shall be
(specify: STC 54, STC 52, STC 49 or STC 47). Optional N.R.C. .90, STC 50.
2.8 SOUND SEALS shall be
as follows:
2.8.1 Vertical seals between panels shall
consist of deep nesting, universal interlocking ESP bronze steel astragals incorporating
continuous, vinyl acoustical seals. Vertical astragal vinyl seals shall be installed on
the outboard edges of the panel skins in a double row with an acoustical labyrinth.
2.8.2 Horizontal TOP seals shall be (specify: continuous contact
extruded vinyl shapes; or clearance type, automatically actuated; or clearance type,
manually actuated).
2.8.3 Horizontal BOTTOM seals shall be (specify: 1 1/2" (38)
clearance-type automatically actuated by the movement of one panel-pair against the other;
or 2 1/2" (64), or 5 1/2" (141) clearance-type manually actuated at waist height
on panel edges). Downward pressure of all clearance-type seal mechanisms shall assure an
acoustical seal and resist panel movement.
2.9 SUSPENSION SYSTEM
shall be heavy duty aluminum Type 7/8 or steel type 5 track. Track shall be supported by
adjustable steel hanger rods, or direct mount @ type 7/8 only. Panels shall be supported by trolley assemblies of
radial type steel or nylon tired or carbon fiber fill tired, steel ball-bearing wheels.
Trolleys shall be attached to the panels with adjustable steel pendant bolts with locks to
prevent panel misalignment.
2.10 PANELS that are
hinged together shall be hinged with manufacturer's standard butt-type hinges.
