High production Monokote application techniques have come a long way since their introduction approximately five years ago. High production pump conversion kits, larger, smoother conveying systems and lighter, more flexible nozzle systems have combined to dramatically increase application rates and de crease in-place costs. During these past five years, average construction prices and wages have increased over 30%, yet during this same period, the average in-place cost of a bag of Monokote has dropped significantly.
Again, high production techniques and wellsupervised crews have been the keys to success.
This third revision of the High Production Procedures Manual incorporates some new ideas for keeping production up and costs down: Larger surge hose, larger ball valve, nozzle shut offs, and a "crooked" pole gun to mention a few.
Before starting your next job, review this
manual comparing its recommendations to your present job set-up and upgrade wherever
possible. Again, no single component makes all the difference, but every component makes
a little difference. It all adds up to more Mono kote jobs and more profitable Monokote jobs. Our joint efforts will help keep sprayed plaster fireproofing a viable and profitable product for the plastering industry.

MONOKOTE* JOB EQUIPMENT AND HIGH PRODUCTION PROCEDURES
I. SITE AND PROJECT PLANNING
Pre-setup Planning
(1) Arrange with the general contractor s rep
resentative to meet and walk the site to estab lish the location of your permanent pumping station.
(a) Select a primary and an alternative setup location. Where possible, pump up the outside or through the core of the building from a single site. During the winter, the core will provide some heat and helps prevent line freeze-up.
(b) Be sure of adequate space for unloading and material handling for the duration of the job. Space and access routes often change as the project progresses.
(c) Find a water source with adequate volume and pressure. Also check on washout procedure and local water regulations. For example, a settling tank may be required Be certain the general contractor has arranged the necessary facilities.
(2) Arrange your schedule with the job super intendent. Spraying should be done after the floors are poured and hangers are in place, but before plumbing and sheet metal work is be gun. Roof decks must be watertight before the roof is sprayed. With built-up fiber roofing or other flexible systems, the roof must be com plete. You must prohibit all roof traffic after Monokote application until the fireproofing has
dried and full bona strength is attained (3) Insist on uncluttered floors. Working
around obstacles sucn as stacked waibca'c. pipes and hanging ducts can cut your aociica tion rate in half and drastically increase labor costs and waste Insist tnat you be on the f:cor as soon as the concrete is pourea induce these requirements in your bid and product-on commitment. Tell the suDenntendent tnat clear work floors mean you will be out of his way a -ot faster.
(4) Check to see if tarps are necessam -or overspray protection outside the building
(5) Determine if any protection for interior ef faces is required.
(6) Be certain steel and concrete are reason ably clean for proper Monokote aporcaton Remove heavy, loose rust or mill scaie wa burlap rag or heavy brush. Oil on stee1 m con crete should be removed with trisodium poosphate or other cleaners. On concrete. checclosely for form oils and curing compounds
(7) With the general contractor, careful1., c the means for maintaining proper temperance and ventilation for your phase of the worK a weather conditions.
(8) Review the specifications and draw'"us and be sure the general contractor and msce: tors have the same interpretation as you cc
II. MIXER, DELIVERY & APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
A. Pumps
Select a pump with a production capacity well above the desired daily average. Large 30HP pumps have performed as required at heights in excess of fifty floors.
The delivery systems greatly affect pump de livery rates. Study the conveying equipment and system information in paragraph HD. and in Figure 2 at the back of this manual.
Establish a routine preventive maintenance program on all equipment.
Note: (1) Pressure release valves should be kept clean and in good working order,
(2) Any abnormality - such as a new noise, uneven surge, etc. - should be checked im mediately. Waiting until something malfunc tions could result in a system plugged with set
material
(3) Install time docks to measure my.:running time These provide an accurate on which to base routine maintenance
The single most important deveiop^r-- the application of sprayed fireproof : been the introduction of high producHc' version kits for pumping Monokote Fne: ing These kits are available from T'~---Equipment and from Essick Manufactu- " ; The principal benefit is tne reduction c` : space at the end of the piston stroke Tney- (A) dramatically increase pumping ' r(B) make pumps less sensitive to over"- and (C) enable stiffer mixes to be pump-? higher rates. The latter enables thic*er coat building resulting in fewer passes La: savings through increased pump efftoenc .

D. Conveying Equipment
Hign oroduction with minimal buildup of oid material can only be assured m a clean, smootn walled, fuil flow system Drag s minimized by me elimination of all unnecessary restnctions ana bends Hose pipe and fittings must be of a type that will help prevent ledges for buildup of mate rial. For distance or heignt smooth walled 3" aluminum pipe is a necessity
All conveying equipment should be checked regularly for excess wear or deteriora tion. Conveying equipment should be installed in the following order (see Figure 2) pump manifold--------------- > safety pressure release valve--------------- > tapered reducer---------------> surge hose----------- > tapered reducer----------- >
ball valve------ :---- > 3" rigid aluminum con duit----------- > 3" x 2" reducer -- -> floor hose----------- tapered reducer-------------> whip hose----------- > swivel------------> materia! shutoff valve----------- > spray gun----------- > orifice V'z" ai6". or 5/s"). When setting up. check for leaks by pumping water through the system Teflon tape or pipe dope on all threaded unions helps sea! the system and prevent corrosion lock-uo and damage to aluminum threads.
1. Safety/Pressure Release Valve
The ball and seat should be checked and cleaned regularly The release oressure snou'd be adjusted according to pump manufacturers recommendations, and should be consistent with rated working pressures of other equipment in the system.
2. Bell Reducers (2" x 3") 2-1/2 x 3 ) (11/2 x2) 1-1/2 x 1-1/4)
Must be of the conical tapered type with
externa! male threads. This allows me use of fe male sleeves and,or female swivei fittings Galvanized reducers are widely used without problems. Black iron plumbing fittings are un
acceptable because severe material ouiidup often occurs, restricting material `low ana causing premature material set

Thorough wasnout is necessary to prevent material from setting and accumulating m el bows and at unions
(1) After the last mix nas cleared the nocoer the Dump should be slowed and heavily re tarded water pumped through the system A sponge can also be pumped througn tne sys tem if a sponge is to be used, the whip nose ana hose reducers must first be flushed and discon nected A large sponge could plug tne system when reaching this area.
(2) Dirty water can be pumped mto a dram pipe or collected m a 55-gallon drum on the floor
(3) If a dram is used, several minutes of clear water should clear the nozzle before the pump is shut off Then close the ball valve, and discon nect the surge hose from the pump and securely
