![]() Seal and insulate all ductwork to all current jurisdictional codes and regulations.EcoBatt insulation shall be installed and fitted without voids or compressions. Carefully fit the EcoBatt around all obstructions created by electrical, plumbing and other objects.Fill in all cracks around windows and doors and seal with ECOSEAL™ Plus to create an air-tight seal.Follow all applicable codes for proper air-way spacing above baffles and minimum vent area requirements. Provide insulation vent baffles at eaves to prevent attic insulation from blocking the vents.Place walk boards over the joists to make a path.Watch out for nails-especially in attics where roofing nails may protrude through the sheathing.Cut the insulation to fit around any and all obstructions. The insulation will recover and expand to the labeled thickness once the package is opened. EcoBatt insulation is compression packaged and should be opened only when ready to install.Be sure to install EcoBatt insulation with the R-value identification facing the interior. Watch this Tips & Tricks video to learn just how important it is to correctly install insulation. To get the marked R-Value, this insulation must be installed properly. The higher the R-Value, the greater the insulating power. This product meets the California Referenced Standards Code, Chapter 12-13 Standards for Insulating Material, Part 6, Title 24, C.C.R. This product conforms to the performance requirements of ASTM C665, ASTM E84 and ASTM E136. Check with the manufacturer of any heat source in regards to how much clearance is needed around it.Install only non-combustible unfaced fiber glass insulation around chimneys, flues and other heat sources.Cover faced insulation with an approved interior finish, such as drywall, as required by local codes.FSK-25 facing is approved for exposed applications. Kraft and foil faced fiberglass batts are combustible and may not be left exposed in occupied spaces. Unfaced fiberglass insulation is non-combustible. Lumber in contact with insulation shall have a maximum moisture content of ≤ 19% verified with a calibrated moisture meter. ![]() Recommended PPE is not required to re-enter or to re-occupy the building once EcoBatt has been installed.īays and cavities that will be filled with insulation shall be broom cleaned removing all wood waste (sawdust, drilling waste, trash, etc.) and any other debris that is not part of the construction such as loose nails, plastic containers, electrical, plumbing and mechanical scraps, etc. It is safe to be in the areas while EcoBatt is being installed as long as eye protection and a dust mask are worn. Watch Jonathon Lang, with the Knauf Academy, review PPE for installing insulation. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Recommended PPE: dust mask, loose fitting clothing with long sleeve shirt, safety glasses and gloves are recommended.
