  3. PART 3 EXECUTION
    1. 3.1 EXAMINATION
      1. Examine areas and conditions under which Work of this Section will be performed. Correct conditions detrimental to timely and proper completion of Work. Do not proceed until unsatisfactory conditions are corrected.
    2. 3.2 INSTALLATION
      1. Storage:
        1. Store fiberboard flat on stringers in a well-ventilated building with at least 6 inches (152 mm) of clearance between each stack of units, or outside away from standing water. Stacks should not exceed 3 units in height.
      2. Application: General
        1. Vertical joints shall be centered on framing members with a 1/8 inch (3 mm) gap between edges. Horizontal joints should be backed with supporting framing to provide adequate reinforcement for fastening. A 1/8 inch (3 mm) gap should be left between the lower and the upper panel. Provide a minimum 1/8 inch (3 mm) gap around window and door openings.
      3. Application: Structural Wall Sheathing.
        1. When used as bracing panels, full sheets shall be installed. Bracing panels shall be installed at the corners within the prescribed distance from the corner as required by the building code.
        2. Structural Wall Sheathing shall be installed on exterior walls with studs spaced no more than 16 inches (406 mm) o.c. from the sill to the top plate.
      4. Fasteners:
        1. Structural Wall Sheathing shall be installed using galvanized roofing nails or corrosion-resistant staples.
        2. Fasteners should be placed no closer than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) from the edge and shall be driven perpendicular to the face. Where two panels meet on a framing member, care shall be taken in placing the fasteners so that both panels are fastened correctly on the common framing member.
        3. For bracing panels, fasteners shall be spaced no more than 3 inches (76 mm) o.c. along the edges and 6 inches 152 mm) o.c. along intermediate studs.
        4. When panels are installed as non-structural wall sheathing, fasteners shall be spaced no more than 6 inches (152 mm) o.c. along the edges and 12 inches (305 mm) o.c. along intermediate studs.
        5. Do not overdrive fasteners.
          1. Install fasteners tight to the face of the panel.
          2. Structural Wall Sheathing fastener installation with no more than 25-30 percent of the fasteners overdriven no more than 3/16 inch (5 mm) is acceptable. Panels fastened exceeding these limits shall be replaced.
      5. Penetrations and Cut-Outs:
        1. For Structural Wall Sheathing, limit the total penetration area in any one panel to 144 square inches. Cutouts for windows and doors that are larger than 144 square inches in size shall be backed with framing and secured around the perimeter.
