1CIN-W/1PIN-W. CSI 3-Part Specifications. Large file (>500kB).

General

This specification is for use over any type of approved structural deck which is not nailable and which provides a suitable surface to receive the roof. Poured and pre-cast concrete decks require priming with JM Concrete Primer prior to application of the heat welded modified bitumen ply. This specification is not to be used over poured or pre-cast gypsum decks, lightweight insulating concrete decks or fills without JM insulation.

This specification is also for use over JM roof insulations, or other approved roof insulations which are not nailable and which provide a suitable surface to receive the roof. Specific written approval is required for any roof insulation that is not supplied by JM. Insulation shall be installed in accordance with the appropriate JM Insulation Specification detailed in the JM Commercial/Industrial Roofing Systems Manual. This specification can also be used in certain reroofing situations. Refer to the "Reroofing" section of the JM Commercial/Industrial Roofing Systems Manual. For heat weld applications directly to the insulation, the top layer of insulation must be JM Nord Board.

Design and installation of the deck and/or roof substrate must result in the roof draining freely, to outlets numerous enough and so located as to remove water promptly and completely. Areas where water ponds for more than 24 hours are unacceptable and will not be eligible for a JM Roofing System Guarantee.

Note: This specification is also for use with JM PAO (Classic) products.   All general instructions contained in the current JM Commercial/Industrial Roofing Systems Manual shall be considered part of this specification.

Flashings

Flashing details can be found in the "Bituminous Flashings" section of the JM Commercial/Industrial Roofing Systems Manual.

Application

Heat weld a full width piece of one of the cap sheets listed so that it is firmly and uniformly set. Subsequent sheets are to be applied in the same manner, with 4" (102 mm) side and 6" (152 mm) end laps over the preceding sheets. All laps must be rolled with a 3" (76 mm) rounded edge roller.

A 1/8" to 3/8" (3 mm to 10 mm) bleedout of APP compound shall be visible at the edge of all seams. All laps must be checked for good adhesion. Preparation of the 6" (152 mm) end lap requires scuffing away all loose granules. Heat and embed all remaining granules. Apply heat to the roll being seamed while making sure both have a good compound flow to adhere the two surfaces. End laps must be checked for proper adhesion.

Application of JM APP/PAO Modified Bitumen Products may require the use of an open flame propane torch. Improper use of these materials and application equipment can result in severe burns, and/or other physical injury, as well as damage to property. In order to prevent these situations  the mechanic must install the materials using the techniques recommended by JM and those found in "A Guide to Safety: Torch-On Modified Bitumens" available from the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association. These techniques have been endorsed by the National Roofing Contractors Association and the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers.

For special precautions for heat weld application of JM Classic (PAO) products, refer to Paragraph 7B.6.6.

For cold weather application techniques, refer to Paragraph 7B.14.

Steep Slope Requirements

Special procedures are required on inclines over 2 1/2" per foot (208 mm/m). Refer to Paragraph 7B.12.

Surfacing

No additional surfacing is required.
