Dry Construction A. Fast installation B. Minimum clean up C. Work progress in any weather 2. Exacting fire rating 3. Exacting sound rating 4. Price competitive with other wall systems BACKGROUND: Laminated Gypsum Wallboard Systems are not new. The first patents were issued in 1938 to Mr. E, B. Hummer, Bestwall Gypsum Company's Research and Development Director for Drywall Systems. The develop ment by Bestwall of a one-hour fire resistive assembly utilizing a %" thick patented gypsum core (Firestop), coupled with the "know how" of laminating multi-plies of Gypsum Wallboard together, made possible the creation of systems which could develop fire resistive qualities and sound attenuation acceptable in multi-story residential buildings. All of these systems have been accepted by F.H.A., lending institutions, and approved under local building codes. EXPANSION: In 1962 Bestwall Gypsum Company completed an expansion program that increased production capacities by 90 per cent. This program was designed to accommodate the added uses of Gypsum Wallboard created by the acceptance of commercial application of these systems. Adequate manufacturing facilities are now maintained to service projects regard less of schedule or scope. THE CREATION OF SYSTEMS ENGINEERING: Systems Engineers, specialists in application of commercial Drywall Systems, have been thoroughly trained to recommend the proper com bination of systems that meet the specifications of the most discrimi nating architects. They can assist with architectural detailing, lending institution presentations, quantity surveys and actual on-the-job appli cation. Bestwall Systems Engineers are available through all local Bestwall Certain-teed Sales Corporation District Sales Offices. There are twenty-four located in strategic cities across the nation. CONCLUSION: For the architect who desires walls that produce a quiet, safe building, the Bestwall Systems Engineer will recommend the proper Bestwall System. The owner will appreciate the low insurance rates and the smooth, maintenance-free walls that can receive any type of finish? The tenant will renew leases in a comfortable, quiet residence. Consideration and planning now will assure a profitable investment.

It is erected by laminating l/2" ply to 1" homo geneous board on each side of an air space. This center air cavity allows space for concealed wiring, electrical boxes, hose boxes, piping, and other rough work. It also provides greater resistance to sound trans mission. For specifications see Bestwall Systems Engineering Folder BW-62400. FEATURES Fire Resistant: The Double Solid Partition System (6" thick-basic) provides 2-hour fire protection. Sound Transmission Loss: 47.2 db. (6" thick-basic). Strength: Proven in ASTM "Bump" tests and performance to have greater resistance to deflection and cracking than a standard frame or thin solid wall. Laminated Construction: Smooth monolithic walls created by unitized lamination of multi plies of Gypsum Wallboard. Center Air Space: (1" to 6" as required) space for piping--conduit-- fixture framing--additional resistance to sound transmission. DESCRIPTION This basic system is the original method for erecting non-load bearing corridor and party walls. It is erected by laminating %" Bestwall Firestop Gypsum Wallboard to gypsum ribs-with metal or wood floor and ceiling runners. It provides thin, `yet strong, lightweight, highly fire resistive -.partitions. A Bestwall Systems Engineer can modify this, and all other'Bestwall PartitiofTSystems, to-meet your specific job require ments of sound and fire resistant characteristics and also electrical and telephone conduits, mechanical and air equipment, etc. For specifica tions see Bestwall Systems Engineering Folder BW-62390. FEATURES Fire Resistant: Semi-Solid Laminated Gypsum Partitions (2Vi" thickbasic) provide 1-hour fire protection. With modifications IV2. 2, and 3-hour fire resistance can be obtained. Sound Transmission Loss: 2V4" partitions--35 db., 2%" partitions --37.5 db., 4" partitions--37 db., 5" partitions--40 db. Strength: At least 10 per cent less deflection under standard ASTM "Bump" test than walls within 2" x 4" studs 16" o.c. faced with V2" Gypsum Wallboard. Laminated Construction: Smooth monolithic walls created by unitized lamination of multi-plies of Gypsum Wallboard. DESCRIPTION This is a complete non-load bearing system that integrates Bestwall, the original glass fibered gypsum wallboard, with lightweight steel framing. It is designed and engineered to create an economical partition that may be fire rated. It offers accurate and speedy installation with savings in material and labor. In addition, this system provides a varied range of functional and decorative space design for new and remodeling work in commercial, industrial, institutional and residential buildings. For speci fications consult Bestwall's Metal Stud Partition Folder BW-62120. FEATURES Versatility: System components may be combined with a variety of board thicknesses to meet individual requirements. Light Weight: This is a factor which can result in savings in struc tural design requirements. Workability: Simplicity of design assures minimum on-site construc tion delays. Fire Resistant: 1-hour fire rating is achieved with a single layer of %" Bestwall Gypsum Wallboard on both faces. A 2-hour fire rating is achieved with a double layer of %" Bestwall Firestop on both faces. SGP 0028071 PARK CITY WEST--ARCHITECT, SAMUEL I. OSHIVER AND ASSOCIATES BESTVALL GYPSUM COMPANY GYPSUM WALLBOAPU MAUUAL 1965 EHT10D Section 7 Sub-Se ction A SEMI--SOLID PARTITION Correct Erection Method Tlie semi-solid partition which, involves a layer of wallboard on each side of gypsum rihs is the present name for the original Bestwall Hummer System "B1'. Much of the Company literature has shown the manufacture of a panel and the erection of this panel in a wall. In some instances, this involved a two faced panel and in other instances, it was one face with rihs. This prefabrication was done in a warehouse or on the job hy the drywall applicator's men. Current literature no longer shows y-l/2n and 6-l/4n rihs nor 12" rihs. A standard 6" wide rih is used in the semi--solid partition. A full scale fire test with 5/8" Firestop and 1" thick rihs made of this assembly has proven that the fire resistance is applicable with 6" wide rihs at the joint between the face hoards and in the center, that is, 2' on center. Furthermore, the test was made without joint treatment hut with mechanical fasteners, as shown in the details. The Bestwall Laboratory has experimented with and shown that it is practical to erect a semi--solid partition in place without any prefabrication. The new sound slide film showing ''Gypsum Wallboard in High Rise Buildings", shows this method. Install the floor runners, plumb up and install the ceiling runners. Then start at the exterior wall columns, etc., and set the wallboard vertically on one side, fastening it with 1" long Bestwall Drywall Screws (nails may he used in wood runners) to the ceiling and floor runner. Uext to the backside of this first layer, apply Bestwall Laminating Compound with a glue spreader 3" on each of the joints between sheets and in a 6" width down the center of the board. A 6" gypsum rib (l" thick, or as specified) should then be held in place against the back of the board over the glue by a workman with one centered over the joint and the other rib at the center of the sheet. A second workman on the face side of an initial layer should attach a l~l/2" long Bestwall Drywall screw (designed for this use and shown in the Price Schedule) with an electric power screw driver, approximately 2' on center, with 4 screws to an S? high partition to hold the rib tight in the board. A screw should be used on the edge of each board into the rib and in the center of the sheet. After the ribs are all in place and the various electrical wiring, piping, and other rough, in work completed, the applicator should run Bestwall laminating compound with a mechanical glue spreader down the ribs and then install the other face side of the semi-solid partition, using Bestwall Drywall Screws (l" long) at the top and bottom runners, and (l--1/2" long) in the face board into the ribs in the same manner as on the first side. The next day when the glue has set, the partition will show remarkable rigidity and strength. This semi-solid partition with 5/" Firestop and 1" ribs is one o/~*n nmQr\7A GYPSUM HAIIfOA^B -TflMTiAL 1965 Edition 2- Section 7 Sub~Gaction A hour fire resistant*, Advantages 1, The screw attachment is no more costly than the screw attachment of g'Tpsum "board to metal studs. Actually, this construction method is similar to the installation followed by many applicators for 81 to 91 high partitions of single layer Gypsum Board over metal studs, 2, Stronger bjr test than conventional 5" partition, stud and l/2" gypsum wallboard, 3, Saved - 20 square feet more usuable floor area than 2" x H" wood stud wall construction for every 100 lineal feet of partition, LAKE HA TED GYPSUM WALLBQAKD SYSTEMS Bowing Board For years E, B. Hummer has advocated bowing the face board in all laminated gypsum wallboard work. After the base layer is in place, the face layer to be laminated if it is bowed so that the outer or exposed face is concave and the backside is convex, the board will hug the wall in application and reduce to eliminate the necessity for fasteners within the field of the board. This bow ing should very generally be across the long dimension of the board, that is the long dimension should be bent in the curve. Where the face board is erected vertically it is obvious that by doin, this the board can be nailed at the top plate, pressed down and nailed at the bottom plate, hugging the wall all the way dovm and eliminating the need of the nailing through the face of the board in the field. This is particularly helpful when applying predecorated board as Woodgrain board, Eternawall, or the Decorator line* This is equally applicable to the application of the board to wood fram ing and those framing numbers are in the same plane or where the board is being applied to an existing surface. TJhen the face board is applied horizontally, bow the board across the short direction of the board, that is make the Us width curved, and again applying the board with the top edge in place first and pull the bottom edge in, nailing along the tapered edge* Bestwall literature many years ago had detailed drawings showing the method of piling board to develop this curvature. While competition minimized the idea at that time, you will see USG, National and other manufacturers showing details on bowing gypsum wal]board in some of their current literature. Do not place a support in the middle of a sheet of board and let the ends hang dew to accomplish this curvature. This will result in very badly misshaped and warped board which will defeat the purpose of curbing the board. Have the board flat on the floor with the surface that is to be concave up and then lay supports under the edges of the board to raise the edge up and allow the weight of the board to accomplish the curvature. This should be no more than 1" in or 2" in 8'. Generally, allowing the board to set in this position over nirht will accomplish the desired curvature on the face board. Allowing the board to remain too long in this position will again defeat the Purpose and result in some badly warped board*.

Hurran''r's idea as advocated by Bestwall for many years and now by other gypsum manufacturers can assist the contractor in getting good lamin ated installations and eliminate the need of fasteners in the field thereby reducing the cost of the installation.

The wallboard system covered in this Georgia-Pacific/ Bestwall Gypsum Division folder has been developed with due regard to practical construction methods. However, since the Bestwall Gypsum Division does not have any prior knowledge of a specific building design and construction, or methods of application and use of their products, no warranty of performance is made. All of the test results shown have been obtained under laboratory testing conditions where controlled environ ment reduces variables to a minimum. In the field, such laboratory conditions are not always met, since many other variables are introduced. Laboratory re sults will generally exceed results of field tests, but the tests under controlled conditions are the only logical way to compare the performance of different assemblies. The Bestwall Gypsum Division of the Georgia-Pacific Corporation makes no warranty as to the performance of assemblies in the field having a performance equal to or better than that developed in the test. 5iSS! t,WEOTER)iWt ............................................................................ ...............

Moore /ghp File - Wallboard Gypsum ________ Product Manual #2 - Section 7-C The American Plywood Institute have conducted fire tests at the Underwriters' Laboratories on combustible (floor and ceiling) construction assemblies using various thicknesses of plywood in lieu of using the conventional l" x 4" or 1" x 6" sub-flooring which is presently used over wood joists for sub-flooring. Underwriters' have approved the use of 5/8" plywood (underlayment grade T8.6) over building paper over 1/2" structural interior plywood (with exterior glue, grade - CD). This type construction applies to floor and ceiling assemblies with a 45 minute and 1 hour fire rating (not over 1 hour). The Underwriters' Laboratories are presently changing their literature and when reprinted, UL literature will show this alternate method of construction under the already approved design numbers using plywood for underlayment In 45 minute and 1 hour floor and celling construction assemblies. This alternate method will allow contractors to use plywood in lieu of the conventional wood flooring over wood joists in combustible ceiling assemblies.

Now through greater glass fiber reinforce ment, its fire resistance has been increased to permit two hours when used in a single layer application in incombustible floor and ceiling assemblies. In an Official Fire Test at Underwriters' Laboratories a single layer of thick New Improved Bestwall Firestop was used as the ceiling beneath a concrete floor on steel bar joists (see reverse side for details) with sheet metal furring channels 24" on center, NOT 12", and drywall screws 12" on center, NOT 8". The result: The lowest cost two-hour fire resistive incombustible floor and ceiling assembly available today! This construction with New Improved Bestwall Firestop passed the hose stream and double over loading tests, as well as the fire resistance test, which actually ran two hours and twenty minutes, with no joint finishing treatment. All Bestwall Firestop, including the %" andVi" thick nesses and Firestop Backer, is being manufactured with this improved glass fiber reinforcement . . . all Bestwall Firestop users will benefit from this improve ment at no increase in price. Improved Bestwall Fire stop is available only from the Bestwall Certain-teed Sales Corporation. For additional information, including news about future tests to be conducted on New Improved Bestwall Firestop, contact the nearest sales office, located in principal cities throughout the United States. A staff of Bestwall Systems Engineers is available from coast-tocoast to assist in quantity survey, detailing and instal lation of Firestop floor, ceiling and wall systems.

Fredericks Paoli Mr. K.A. McCaskill Paoli General Sales Bulletin #90-65 Subject: METAL STUDS Re: Surface Protection By: C.E. Abbey /ghp File In Gypsum Wall board Manual #2 _________ Section 7E___________________ A technical point relative to the studs has developed which requires some explanation. Terms such as "electrogalvanized", "hot dip galvanized", and "bonderized" are used. "Hot dip galvanizing" is just what it says, the strip metal passes through hot liquid zinc to receive a protective coat ing on both sides against rusting. "Electrogalvanizing" means the sheet of steel has passed through a chemical solution containing zinc and the protective coating is developed on both sides by electrolytic action. Hot dip galvanizing puts a thicker application of zinc coating on the sheet than does electrogalvanizing. However, it is more extensive and requires longer processing and as a result, most fabricators of sheet steel use the electrogalvanizing process since in a majority of uses, it gives sufficient protection from rusting. The standard ASTM test to determine the extent of the protective coating is a so-called "salt-spray" cycling test in which the item is subject to a standard salt solution spray for a specific period of time and allow to dry and the process repeated and notes made as to when rust first appears. Hot dip galvanized sheets will perform better than electrogalvanized sheets in such a test. Bear in mind however, this processing is done when the sheet is still at least 24" wide and frequently as wide as 48". Major producers of studs buy the full width sheet in large rolls, slit it into strips, and then roll the narrow strip making the shape desired, punching and crimping it through a continuous process. Thus both the hot dip galvanized and the electro galvanized shapes have edges exposed and where there are cutouts in the items, these also expose the original raw steel sheet and rusting begins at such points. The National Gypsum Company is using hot dip galvanized sheet for their studs and currently are widely promoting this feature. All the suppliers considered-by Bestwal1 use electrogalvanized material and Bestwall cannot get hot dip galvanized material, except at a greater cost to Bestwall and with a long delay on the part of Bestwal1*s supplier In getting the sheet from the mill. Extra protection from rusting is mainly a problem In some Gulf Coast areas, but it wi11 be up to the Bestwall salesmen to sell against this feature in any event. SGP 0028124 (continued on page 2) CCT 2 1965 General Sales Bui letin #90-65 28 September 1965 -2- Neither of these sheets hot dip galvanized or electrogalvanized have a good surface for painting. When the metal used is to be painted, galvani zed sheets as well as ungalvanized are chemically treated to "prime" the surface. This is referred to as "bonderizing". Generally, metal studs, tracks, furring sections are not bonderized but many of metal corner and casings are "bonderized". Be sure to read Bestwall's literature and Price Schedules which generally reflect the thickness of the metal, type protection, and finish, of the product available. Reputable companies in giving the gauge of the metal, refer to the thickness of the metal without any surface treatment. Actually the thickness of the galvanized protective coating Is less than 0.001" and results in less than 0.002" added thickness of the sheet. Several suppliers of electrogalvanized studs and track are experimenting with bonderizing and painting to be competitive with hot dip material in resistance to the salt spray test. Hot dip galvanized sheets are consider ably more expensive than bonderized sheets and less available. In selling against the hot dip galvanized stud, bear in mind that millions of feet of electrogalvanized studs and track have been sold and used satisfactorily. It is only where there Is extreme water or moisture to contend with that the hot dip galvanized section would be justified or needed. The automobile industry because of many considerations, has moved to electrogalvanized sheets for auto bodies and where needed, give additional protection by painting. A separate Bulletin for the Western Sales region only will be sent out shortly on metal studs from a West Coast supplier.

SGP 0028129 BESTWALL METAL STUD AND GVPSUM PARTITIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION -- A complete system that integrates lightweight Bestwall framing with Bestwall original glass fibered gypsum wallboard. It is designed and engineered for the most economical, non-load bearing fire-rated partitions adaptable to all construction. This coordination of materials offers accurate and speedy installation with savings in material and labor. It provides a varied range of functional and decorative space design for new and remodel ing work in commercial, industrial, institutional and residential buildings. FINISHES -- Bestwall Regular Gypsum Wallboard forms a smooth, durable base for any decorative scheme. It can be painted or papered. Bestwall pre decorated panels are ready for immediate use when installed, serving to create harmonious interiors or special "accent" walls. VERSATILITY -- System components may be combined with a variety of board thicknesses for individual requirements. The System can be easily taken down to accommodate remodeling. LIGHT WEIGHT -- Light weight can result in savings in structural design requirements. A Bestwall partition, erected with 35/8" studs, with a single layer of 5/a" wallboard and screws applied to each side, weighs approximately 7.2 lbs. per sq. ft. WORKABILITY -- Design simplicity assures minimum on-site construction delays. Steel studs are tailored for all size requirements. Glass fibered Bestwall Wallboard can be easily scored and snapped. FIRE RESISTANCE -- Entirely composed of incombustible framing members and panels, the Bestwall System, as a combined assembly, is capable of oneand-two-hour fire ratings. This depends on the screw spacing described in the specifications and joint treatment and the thicknesses of wallboard used. A y2" thick Bestwall Regular Gypsum Wallboard provides 40 minutes fire rating in single application, and a single layer of %" Bestwall Gypsum Wallboard on both faces gives a one-hour fire rating. Two-hour fire rating is achieved with a double layer of %" Bestwall Firestop on both faces with the base layer being screw attached and face layer laminated. %" Bestwall Firestop meets building code acceptance in all the constructions listed in the table on Page 6. SYSTEMS ENGINEERING -- A staff of Bestwall Systems Engineers is avail able from coast to coast for on-the-job consultation, advice and installation details. These specialists can help you create functional space design to meet your requirements and to realize all the benefits and economies inherent in these Systems. BESTWALL GYPSUM WALLBOARD con sists of a glass fiber reinforced core of incombustible gypsum rock enclosed between two layers of tough paper. Gypsum won't burn or transfer heat in excess of 212 until all its water of crystallization has been driven off in the form of steam. The durable cream face paper is folded around the long edges to reinforce and protect the core. The ends are square cut and smooth finished. A strong gray paper is on the back side. FIRESTOP -- Bestwall Firestop. recommended where extra fire resistance is required, is the original drywall material providing up to one-hour fire resistant load bearing walls and ceilings with one layer application over both combustible and incombustible framing. It was also first to provide two-hour fire resistant load bearing walls in two layer application and a two-hour floor-ceiling assembly in single layer application. This extra fire protection is the result of incombustible glass fibers and unexpanded vermiculite added to the gypsum core -- an ex clusive Bestwall manufacturing process. GLASS FIBER REINFORCEMENT --- Literally miles of glass fiber filaments of uniform strength and length are dispersed in the core of Bestwall Gypsum Wallboard for greater resilience, strength and handling ease. Bestwall resists flexural stresses. It will not crack or sag when applied in the specified manner.

The steel stud has integral positive locking tabs on one face into which the wallboard is secured without the requirement for other fasteners and on the opposite face a flat surface to receive power-driven screws. This design feature eliminates 75% of the screws yet assures a more rigid wall than conven tional screw stud systems. This system makes it practical to erect one complete side of a partition without any fasteners whatever. The wallboard automatically modulates the stud at 2'-0" on centers thus eliminating time consuming layout. Holes are punched the entire length of the stud at 18" on centers to allow for ease of installing horizontal utilities.

A unique power-driven, self-tapping, self-drilling screw with radius-contoured head is used to apply the wallboard to the system. The gypsum wallboard may be applied either horizontally or vertically--in single or double layers--depending on the requirements of fire and sound for the particular partition. Two outstanding features of the stud are the stud extension splicer and the holes punched 6" on centers through the entire length of the stud. The extension splicer compensates for floor to ceiling variations up to 3" and also can be used to splice the stud to accommodate large horizontal utility lines. The punched holes line exactly from stud to stud and permit horizontal utilities to be installed with ease, an important time saving factor. These holes are dimensioned to receive either %" or IV2" channels which are positively locked in place to stiffen the system should unusual conditions require this application.

The components are used where inexpensive movable floor to ceiling partitions are re quired. All the steel and aluminum components are vir tually 100% demountable and reusable. The aluminum batten strips of this attractive system can be either on a two or four foot module. To enhance the decor of the wall the vinyl insert for the batten is available in five decorator colors which match or compliment a variety of vinyl covered gypsum panels. The system consists entirely of incombustible materials. When increased fire resist ance is desired, a %" rated gypsum panel is screw at tached to the framing members at 12" on centers in the field and 8" on centers, staggered, at the joints, and the wider batten strip applied to conceal these screws. (This type of application on Warrior studs has been assigned a one-hour fire rating.)

Use W-620 {l'/i") drywall screws or 5d common nails through prepunched holes in channel flange. Channels shall be located 6" below ceiling and 24" above floor. A 3" wide strip of gypsum is fastened to the studs along the floor. Ceilings: Attach DG-8 Resilient Channels at right angles to ceiling joists with suitable fasteners 24" on centers. Extend channels to partition top plates. If channels run parallel to partitions, locate channels at least 1" from partitions. EXISTING CONSTRUCTION screws or nails. The gypsum wallboard is fastened to the channel with powerdriven drywall screws. The panel may be applied either horizontally or vertically with respect to the channels, in single or double layers. The outstanding feature of this member is its resilience even when attached to solid existing walls where better sound attenuation is required.

Simply applied by nailing through board into stud. Provides proper ground and precise screed for cement application. Knurled and perforated for maximum cement and paint adhesion. Formed from electro-galvanized steel to protect the weakest spot in wallboard construction. D-1000 has 1" x 1" flanges DL-1000 has 1" x IW" flanges DLS-1000 has lVa"xlVfe" flanges DLL-1000 has l!4"xll4" flanges All Corner Edge Beads available in 8'-0", 9'-0" and lO'-O" lengths. The wide range of flange widths provides a selection from the lowest cost to the easiest nailing dependent on individual requirements for protection from knocks, bumps and abuse. CHANNEL EDGE CASING Slips readily over edge of wallboard at door or window opening to form functional square trim. Nailed through knurled and perforated flange and through wallboard into header or jamb. Beaded nose provides accurate screed for proper thickness of cement and gives strength where most needed without taping. Fast because no mitering is required. D-1001 is fabricated for Vi", W or %" wallboard and in T-0", 7'-3" and lO'-O" lengths. ANGLE EDGE CASING Similar to Channel Edge Casing but simplified by eliminating the back flange. This allows the wallboard to be completely nailed in all areas--even around door and window openings--before Angle Edge Casing is applied. This permits completely independent trimming crews if desired. D-1002 is fabricated for V2" or wallboard and in 7'-0", 7'-3" and lO'-O" lengths. RECESSED EDGE CASING This represents a further refinement on Angle Edge Casing. To use this trim, jambs and headers for all door and window openings are slotted V2" deep, back approxi mately to %" from face of jambs and headers. Wallboard is completely erected, leaving slot exposed beyond wallboard edge. Recessed Edge Casing is then installed by inserting offset leg into slot and nailing through other flange and through wallboard into jamb or header. This application assures a clean juncture plus true alignment of casing and framing without time- consuming precision fitting. DS-1003 is fabricated in one single dimension which accommodates V2" or Yb" wallboard, thereby reducing inventories to a minimum and is available in 7'-0", 7'-3,/ and lO'-O" lengths. BULLNOSE EDGE CASING Provides extra rigid, traditional type casing for wallboard construction with stream lined quarter round returns. May either be nailed in place first--and board inserted into nose--or slid over wallboard edge at openings, nailing right through board and flange into jambs or headers. Hemmed edge may be left untreated as decorative ofFset trim. D-1004 is fabricated for W or Vi" wallboard and in 77-0", 8'-0" and lO'-O" lengths. SQUARENOSE EDGE CASING Sturdy, conventional type square nose casing which is more rugged than others for maximum protection. Nail casing around wall openings so that wallboard may be readily slipped into nose of casing. Alternate method is to cut back wallboard slightly from opening, slip casing over edge, then nail both to jambs or headers. If desired, surface may be brought flush to trim thickness by feathering back onto wallboard surface with cement. D-1005 is fabricated for Vi", b" or Va' wallboard and in 7/-0", 8'-0" and lO'-O" lengths.

EDITION -2- MOVABLE PARTITIOtT TAX CREDIT Section 7 Sub-Section E The new 7% investment tax credit on investments in "business equipment and other depreciable personal property is an important sales aid for movable partitions*. Permanent interior walls are considered structural components and therefore do not qualify for the 7$ tax credit, Movable partitions are considered depreciable bus iness property and will quality for the credit. This pertains to partitions used in office buildings or any type of business structure. Assuming that the cost of movable -nartitions for a typical office building is $50,000 and that their useful life is 10 years (that is, it is expected that they will be used for 10 years), the amount of $3,500 (7$ x $50,000) can be deducted from the 1964 tax bill, regardless of when during the year of 1964 the purchase is made. In addition to the 7% tax credit, you are also entitled to depreciate the movable -nartitions at 20% of their cost for the first year of their purchase, no matter when during the year the purchase is made. Thus, for the movable partitions cost ing $50,000, depreciation in the amount of $10,000, for the year of purchase, can be deducted*. Purther, if it is expected that the partitions will be used for 10 years, they can "02 depreciated at 10$ for the year of purchase and thereafter until the cost, less salvage value, is recovered. In figuring the 10% depreciation, however, the amount allowed is prorated according to the month of the year in which the purchase is made The tax credit and depreciation picture for the first year, with respect to the movable partitions, would look something like t3his: Movable Partitions, purchased l/l/64 Tax Credit @ 7%> $ 3>500o00 First vear Depreciation @ 20% 10,000.00 Basis for Yearly Depreciation Regular Depreciation 10% $50,000*00 17.500.00 $36,500.00 $ 3,650.00 SGP 0028154 Thus: First. the taxable income is reduced by $13,650 (depreciation of $10,000 and $3,650.00) . Second, the tax itself is reduced by $3.500.'n0 (7% tax credit;. . Obviously, the purchase of movable partitions involves very substantial tax savings-. This is particularly important in the case of speculative building. (Some legal opinion even indicates that this can be applied to apartment buildings as well as commercial structures. This would have to be verified on a local basis for each particular instance.) The principal argument for the use of permanent wall construction is the lower initial cost. It is now apparent that any additional cost for movable partitions over fixed walls mifht well be offset by the tax advantages. It is important to remember that, in order to receive proper tax credit, the movable partitions must be billed separately to the owner. If the price is buried in the general contract, it may be difficult to prove the cost. (NOTE: Please verify this tax information with your local tax consultant) A IA FILE N O . 3 5 -H -6 DO NX HIGHLANDER Series of Movable Partition Systems Floor to Ceiling -- Cornice High - Rail High - Full or Half Glazed - Infinite Variables The Highlander Movable Partition is a new concept of sim- f-">v plicity and economy, designed and engineered for those con cerned with both function and beauty for interior space. Created to allow limitless selection of module, panel size or thickness, color or texture yet allowing complete electrical accessibility through hollow construction and varied base designs. Radically few parts function uniquely to form the structural framework and permit disassembly, relocation, interchangeability or accessibility of individual sections or panels with ease and efficiency. The Highlander Steel Stud, the basis of the system, gives more strength at lower cost, due to its shape, than any other build ing material. It is a new tool for freedom of expression, long term economy, fast erection time and lifelong beauty. DESIGN' DATA When stud tracks are positioned any modular panel sections can be individually slid into place. These panels can be removed and replaced in minutes without dis torting adjacent framework and assembled parts. In contrast to ordinary sandwich panel-type partitions, the Highlander System'??^'' is of hollow construction allowing ease of accessibility to mechanical and electrical devices which run free vertically between panels or horizontally in the base. There is no one size or one type of panel that is required in the system. Panel selection in colors and textures of materials such as gypsum board or plywood in a variety of patterns and colors of the following thicknesses can be used: '4", V2", or Sections can be glazed with glass from Vs" to '4" thickness. Panels can be varied in height and length with a maximum height of 16' and a maximum width of 4'; width restrictions depend upon panel material selected. With the 4' module an intermediate concealed structural stud is employed. SOUND ATTENUATION Employing a 54" thick gypsum board panel on a 24" module. System "A" sound transmission class 36 System "B" sound transmission class 33 System "C" sound transmission class 28 In accordance with ASTM E90-61T and ASA designation: Z 24.19-1957. By a nationally recognized testing facility. Copies of tests available. (The addition of a fiberglas sound blanket increases the average sound trans mission loss by an average of 5 to 6 DB.) HIGHLANDER SYSTEMS System "A" is both assembled and disassembled in progressive sequence. This progressive installation has proven to be the most economical manner of erection. Anchoring of the floor and ceiling tracks completely secures-; the partition. No separate fastening is required for panels and studs since 'Jsf all components interlock automatically in the system. A 2Vi" or 4" snap-on metal base or if desired rubber base may be used. System "B" is also assembled in economical progressive sequence and has the additional feature of complete accessibility and reinstallation of any two adjoining panels without disturbing adjacent panels. This is accom plished without damage to any components. A 2Vi" or 4" snap-on metal base or if desired rubber base may be used. System "C" provides the same complete accessibility as System "B". How ever, the entire system is raised three inches to provide an integrated and unrestricted electrical raceway in the base. The raceway is accessible through a 4" snap-on metal base which is easily removed. System "D" is rail high or rail high glazed. Available with open or closed base. The components are similar to System "A". Floor anchors are adjustable to one inch for leveling. This system is aesthetically harmonious and completely compatible in ap pearance with the other systems. SPE CIFICATI O N S Scope of Work: Furnish and install Donn Highlander series of partitions as manu factured by Donn Products, Inc., as indicated on plans and/or elevations as follows: Shop Drawings: Submit in triplicate drawings showing the complete floor plan -iE^s with typical details, elevations, special conditions, glass type, panel materials, and 'vffii color of finish.

There is a folder of details which all Salesmen concerned with knowing the drywall contractor and his -problems better, should study carefully. These folders include reference to standard frames from use with a 2~l/4n thick partition up to one; 4-5/8" thick. In addition, their rolling fexilities are set up such that they can make the same type door frame for thickness partitions depending, of course, on the quantity involved and a minimum price for the setup. Por further assistance, there is included a copy of personnel of this organization in various parts of the country who may be contacted for further information and availability of these frames. Many are being stocked in warehouses around the country o This information is to guide you in assisting your Drywall Contractors obtaining such accessories that are needed in erecting gypsum wallboard partitions. It is not meant to recommend this particular door frame to the exclusion of others which may do a satisfactory job and may be used with Bestwall partitions equally well.

This means that four times as many FEN-DRY frames can be installed in a given time and that labor costs are cut by four! Eliminated is the extra time required in (1) setting to floor slab, (2) attaching frame anchors to studs, notching and fitting gyp sum board into and around frame, and [3] LOOK BETTER FEN-DRY Frames are made for drywall. They hold tight to the wall, eliminating unsightly gaps. An 89 frame angle and a Va inch double-back bend around the complete frame provide a vicelike gripping area. Their corners are locktight miter joints, providing maximum strength and a continuous smooth trim line. STAY IN PLACE FEN-DRY Frames fit fast and stay fast. They are engineered for drywall; even the weight of the door works to advantage--tension and pull function to maintain the frame in perfect locked posi tion. Special welded-in anchors stiffen the frame at the key points and serve as a stop in plumbing the frame. Heavy gauge sill anchors, welded in jambs, lock the frame to the wall at the floor runner. Premortised jambs for template hinges and ASA strike further reflect the quality of the FEN-DRY Frame ... a frame that has undergone a 500,000 cycle door-slam torture test to prove its positive anchoring.

Moore jw FILE: Gypsum Wallboard Product Manual Number 2, SectionTF A good salesman should be constantly looking for ways and methods to give his customers the kind of service that will assist them to save money. Customers respect (and expect) this kind of service from Sales Representatives, This new piece of Bestwall literature (GP-6630) covers suggested details for a new concept in hoisting equipment. This type equipment has been used extensively in the Texas market to lift millions of square feet of all types of Bestwall Gypsum Wallboard into twelve-story buildings up to and including a thirty-two story building. The lift can accommodate 2! or 4' wide gypsum wallboard up to and including l4v lengths with weight loads of 2000 to 5000 pounds. The complete hoisting assembly as detailed in the new piece of literature includes one lift, one track and three dolly carts, Bestwall does not manufacture or sell this type of equipment. Reference to specific dimensions, gauges of metal and cables and type and thickness of welds have purposely been omitted from the literature. As indicated in the literature, plans for specific equipment should be approved by an engineer in the manufacture of each piece of equipment. The cost of the lift, track and dolly carts may vary from $70,00 to $100,00 per unit (manufactured and painted). The gypsum wallboard is delivered in predetermined units to the job site, raised with the lift and placed on a cart set on the track which extends out from the building. The cart has hard rubber wheels, two swiveled, for easy transfer through out the building, A minimum of three carts is recommended for a smooth distribution operation. A crew of 2 men on the ground to attach the lift under each end of the gypsum wallboard stack, 2 men at the track on the floor being stocked, one operating Continued on next page,,, SGP 0028206 General Sales Bulletin // 28-66 2 April 15, 1966 a walkie-talkie or giving directions to the crane operator and one to position the carts, and two men with each cart for a total of ten, can lift and distribute over 75,000 sq.ft, of gypsum wallboard into a building in three hours.

Hi-Tilt loads or unloads up to 30 pieces of 12-ft. wallboard at a time. It picks up the entire bundle, raises it more than 20 feet in the air, tilts it vertically and places it in upper story openings. ! gj CM O CL ^ One operator, standing on the ground, can unload from either side of the truck. Extendable hydraulic stabilizers relieve the truck frame of dangerous stresses. And, when in travelling position, the Hi-Tilt nestles snugly over the cab , allowing complete use of the entire truck body for the dry wall or other material. "The Only Practical Way to Deliver Wallboard" So said a high official of one of the country's largest gypsum manufactur ers after seeing the new HIAB Hi-Tilt in operation. "It makes all other meth ods seem old fashioned." HIAB Engineers designed and developed the Hi-Tilt to do the job safely,effi ciently and economically. All the know how that has made HIAB Speedloaders the most popular hydraulic loading equip ment in the world has been incorpor ated into the new Hi-Tilt. HIAB by-pass valves that prevent overloading, con stant flow valves that reduce shock----these and all the other exclusive HIAB Safeguard Engineering Features-- are found only in the Hi-Tilt. HIAB Hi-Tilts are made to the most rigid specifications in the industry. They are manufactured to give long years of trouble free service. Ask for a Hi-Tilt demon stration.

One of the most important problems a drywall contractor faces in going from conventional drywall in house construction and small commercial work is that cf getting material onto the job and distributed to point of usage. This requires careful planning and scheduling, and most important, an economical means of getting the material up to the various floors. Those of you who have boan exposed to this type of work long ago realized the conventional material hoist provided on high rise buildings was designed fcr smaller dimen sion materials and for bulk materials, but not for sheets U1 wide in 8 to 101 lengths The attached folder printed by the American Tubular Elevator Company, a division cf the Universal Manufacturing Corporation of Zelienople, Pennsylvania, manu facturers of various types of scaffolding and elevator equipment, describes the tower that has been used on some of the jobs in Philadelphia very success fully., This type of equipment is distributed by the Equipment Corporation of America (see back of the folder). This is sent to give additional information and assist in answering questions on this matter in the field. It in no way endorses this type or manufacturer's equipment to the exclusion of other equipment designed for the job. Applicators who are interested should contact the Universal Manufacturing Corporation in Zelienople, Pennsylvania for further information. Wc understand that the Equipment Corporation of America is one of the larger distributors for this organization, operating through much of the Country- Several months ago we gave you information about the Buckhoist Elevator which is a different type having certain advantages and shortcomings. You realize, of course, that the board can be raised to the various floor levels in a high rise building by means of a long boom crane. Where the drywall contractor puts such equipment as this tubular elevator cn the job, he must approach other subs to use the equipment on a rental basis as this helps defray the cost of the equipment and the operator.

It is being incorporated in three of the world's largest high rise apartment buildings: the Philadelphian, Penn Towers, and Park City West. This has presented dry wall contractors, such as Hollenbeck & Juell, Inc., with the unique problem of raising these large sheets of dry wall to their proper floor, economically and with minimum breakage. Working closelv with Hollenbeck & Juell, American Tubular Elevator engineers came up with a tower specifically designed to handle large palletized material. This tower utilizes an oversize cage which permits loading and unloading with a small electric fork lift unit. Typical Operation Only three men are required for this bulk handling system: 1 hoisting engineer 1 fork lift operator @ loading area 1 fork lift operator @ discharge area The dr\ wall material is delivered on flat bed trucks in quan tities of either 4 or 8 pallets depending on job conditions. The trucks are backed up to the loading ramp which is constructed of standard scaffold to a height equal to that of the truck bed. This allows the fork lift to drive directly onto the truck to pick up the pallets which are then placed in the cage to be hoisted to the desired floor. At this point, the second fork lift removes the pallet from the cage and places it in its proper position on the floor. One complete cycle; loading, unloading and placing of each pallet requires only 5 minutes which means that a truck carrying eight pallets ( 15,800 sq. ft. of gypsum dry wall) can be handled in about 50 to 60 minutes. The periods between truck-loads are used to distribute the pallets around the floor being charged; raise dry wall paste and fasteners; and to re locate the loading ramps and fork lifts at the completion of each floor. The picture story to the right illustrates how this specialized method of bulk handling can solve your hoisting problems with fantastic labor savings and maximum safety. SGP 0028241 \n Tower Solves Drywall odlem With Big Cage Each pallet is then delivered to the proper floor where it is unloaded with a second fork lift unit. These towers are equipped with special landing brace frames which allow discharge at any floor without having to remove cross braces. The huge cage easily accommodates these 4'x8' pallets containing 61 sheets of s/s" dry wall. The 4000# dry wall pallets are delivered in quantities of 8 to the job site. The trucks are backed up to the ramp which allows the fork lift to drive directly onto the flat bed for unloading.

Normally a 5 man crew is used which can put a 100' tower in operation in about 2 days. Previous Methods of Dry Wall Installation A stiff leg derrick was used on one job which required at least 8 men. With this method the contractor had to build fly-decks at every floor upon which the pallets were placed; then rolled on conveyors into the building. A fork lift was then used to distribute the pallets around the floor. Using the dry wall tower, the contractor immediately realized a 60% savings in labor alone. This method also provided greater all-around safety in handling and minimized breakage of panels. AMERICAN TUBULAR EXCLUSIVE To increase the versatility of the dry wall tower. American Tubular Elevator Co. designed a combina tion landing frame and tower brace. When this "K." frame is properly assembled to the tower, it replaces practically all of the normal girts and cross braces on the side adjacent to the .building. Its portal design per mits loading and unloading at any floor without hav ing to remove any tower components or relocate landing panels. The photo and sketch to the right shows a typical "K" frame and assembly. American Tubular Elevator Co.

FIRESTOP-120 . . . on a rated exposed grid gives a system which results in the lowest cost membrane fire proofing currently available The Bestwall Gypsum Division, a pioneer in gypsum building products for private and commercial con struction, now makes available "Firestop-120" a new ceiling tile, to provide the lowest cost 2-hour fire-rated ceiling. Tested in accordance with procedure set forth in ASTM E-l 19-61, "Firestop-120" gypsum ceiling tile achieved a 2-hour fire endurance rating in a rated ceiling assembly. "Firestop-120" is 'listed by Underwriters Labora tories under Fire Resistance Classification as Design 208--2 hours. Product boxes carry the U L Label. A Firestop gypsum board product, "Firestop-120" is covered under the Fire Hazard Classification of 10-15. Many advantages of Bestwall "Firestop-120" are beneficial to all architects, contractors and building owners. "Firestop-120" is approved under National Model Building Codes as well as local Building Department Codes of large cities. Provides a quick, low cost method of protecting incom bustible floor systems. Reduces sound transmission. Glass fiber reinforcement adds strength and resiliency to the tile during handling and application, and after it is in place. Each tile unit is removable for immediate access to pipes, ducts and utility lines above the ceiling. The official fire test of "Firestop-120" included recessed light fixtures totaling 16 sq. ft. per 203 sq. ft. or 8% of ceiling area and openings for vents of 71 sq. in. per 100 sq. ft. of ceiling area. Thus the rating of 2 hours permits modern flat ceiling design with recessed fixtures. Lighting and air conditioning facilities in the ceiling de sign may be easily changed when desired. Easy to handle panels 24" x 24" x Packed 6 tiles to a carton insuring arrival in good condi tion, with minimum loss through breakage or soiling. Saves construction time, as "lay-in" application is quick and economical, allows other trades to move in faster. Factory finish insures uniform appearance. Lowers construction costs as intermediate fire protection is eliminated, and clean-up operations are reduced. Pre-decorated units eliminate need for on-site decoration. -'-;E 3:JiLDlMG OWNER Greater fire protection generally results in reduced insur ance premiums. Plain or textured finishes of the tile reflect light evenly and without glare. Heat and sound transmission are reduced. Decorative finishes may be repainted economically by any conventional method.

WITHOUT OPENINGS FOR UTILITIES USING A 2" CONCRETE DECK. Easy to maintain and clean. Accessibility to any area of pipes, ducts or utility lines above the ceiling. Reduced construction time permits earlier occupancy. "Firestop-120" offers all advantages of conventional types of exposed grid suspension systems plus the benefits of a 2-hour rated ceiling. Bestwall "Firestop-120" is the first gypsum ceiling tile to be given a fire retardant time designated rating. It developed 2-hour fire resistance in an Official Fire Test when the assembly was constructed in accordance with the Standard Method of Fire Tests of Building Construc tion and Materials, ASTM Designation E-119-61. REQUIREMENTS OF STANDARD FIRE TEST SUSTAIN APPLIED LOAD One of the requirements of the Standard Fire Test is that "the construction shall have sustained the applied load (theoretically the design load) during the fire endurance test ... for a period equal to that for which classification is desired". Where design loading is not feasible, there is an alternate requirement to determine the protection provided to steel beams. It states that the maximum temperature on the steel beams must not rise above 1200F and the average temperature of a section of the beam must not exceed 1000 F. "Firestop-120" ceiling tile on a rated exposed grid provides this type of protection to structural steel. In the Official Tests the assembly did not fail under load nor was a critical temperature even reached on the bar joists during the 2-hour fire test. Only the tile prevented heat from being transmitted to the plenum. The deck or floor construction plays an important role in meeting this requirement. Gypsum, Portland Cement concrete, and similar materials--because of their com positions--tend to restrain a temperature rise on the top of the slab. ADVANTAGES OF BESTWALL "FIRESTOP-120" Bestwall "Firestop-120" makes it possible, where design requirements permit, to specify lighter weight floor ceil ing assemblies. In instances where Bestwall "Firestop-120" provides greater protection to a building than codes require, the added protection may provide lower fire insurance rates on the building and contents. BESTWALL "FIRESTOP-120" IS: Strong--Glass fiber reinforcement adds strength and resiliency to the tile during handling and application, and after it is in place. Easy Working--Easy to handle panels 24" x 24" x "Firestop-120" is also easy to maintain and clean. Decorative finishes are tough, hard surfaces resistant to marking. Fast Working--Saves construction time as lay-in appli cation is quick and economical. Versatile--Offers all the advantages of conventional types of exposed grid suspensions plus the benefits of a 2-hour fire rated floor and ceiling construction. Each "Firestop-120" unit is removable for immediate access to pipes, ducts, and utility lines above the ceiling. TEMDERAT jRE RISE ABOVE CC'VCRE'T'E The second condition of the Standard Fire Test is "trans mission of heat through the construction during the fire endurance test shall not have been such as to raise the temperature on its unexposed surface (top of the deck or slab) more than 250 above its initial temperature".

The formulation is on file as confidential data. CONSTRUCTION The concrete test yoke was assembled to form the 16 ft. 2-3/4 inch by 14 ft. 2-3/4 inch opening for the test specimen. Steel ledge angles meas uring 7 inches by 4 inches by 7/8 inches thick were attached to hanger plates across each 16 ft. 2-3/4 inch end of the yoke frame to form the end supports for the joists. The 10S3 steel joists were placed 24 inches on center with the ends bearing on the ledge angles 2-7/8 inches and with bridging bars welded to both top and bottom chords on the centerline. The 3/8 inch rib lath was attached at right angles to the joists and was tied with No. 18 gauge wire 9 inches on center at the side laps of the selvage and every other 3/8 inch rib at the joist. The end laps were approximately 2-7/8 inches. A concrete slab measuring two inches thick over the bar joists reinforced with 6 by 6 by No. 10 by 10 welded wire mesh was placed over the lath. The border channels were attached to the periphery with 3*l/2inch long nails approximately 8 inches on center. The bottom leg of the chan nel was 16-1/2 inches below the surface plane of the concrete deck. The main beams were placed perpendicular to the joists 48 inches on center and were supported by No. 12 gauge single strand tie wire hangers. Cross tees 4 feet long were placed between the main beams 2 feet on center. The cross tees extending from the main beams to the border channels were supported by SGP 0028253 No. 12 gauge wire hangers near the border chan nel. The hangers were suspended from 3/4 inch cold rolled furring channel that was placed on the top of the bottom chords of the open web joists. Cross tees 2 feet long were placed between the 4 foot long cross tees 2 feet on center. The ceil ing tile was then laid in the suspension system. Spring steel hold-down clips were clipped on the cross tees approximately 24 inches on center holding the ceiling tile in place. The last tile to be placed was held down by a modified spring steel hold-down clip, since the plenum at this point was not accessible to complete the con struction.

SGP 0028267 3 "FIRESTOP-120" . . . on a rated exposed grid gives a system which results in the lowest cost membrane fire proofing currently available Bestwall Gypsum Company, a pioneer in gypsum building products for private and commercial con struction, now makes available "Firestop-120" a new ceiling tile, to provide the lowest cost 2-hour fire-rated ceiling. Tested in accordance with procedure set forth in ASTM E-119-61, "Firestop-120" gypsum ceiling tile achieved a 2-hour fire endurance rating in a rated ceiling assembly. "Firestop-120" is listed by Underwriters Labora tories under Fire Resistance Classification as Design 208--2 hours. Product boxes carry the U L Label. A Firestop gypsum board product, "Firestop-120" is covered under the Fire Hazard Classification of 10-15. Many advantages of Bestwall "Firestop-120" are beneficial to all architects, contractors and building owners. "Firestop-120" is approved under National Model Building Codes as well as local Building Department Codes of large cities. TO THE ARCHITECT Provides a quick, low cost method of protecting incom bustible floor systems. Reduces sound transmission. Glass fiber reinforcement adds strength and resiliency to the tile during handling and application, and after it is in place. 4 Each tile unit is removable for immediate access to pipes, ducts and utility lines above the ceiling. The official fire test of "Firestop-120" included recessed light fixtures totaling 16 sq. ft. per 203 sq. ft. or 8% of ceiling area and openings for vents of 71 sq. in. per 100 sq. ft. of ceiling area. Thus the rating of 2 hours permits modern flat ceiling design with recessed fixtures. Lighting and air conditioning facilities in the ceiling de sign may be easily changed when desired. Easy to handle panels 24" x 24" x Packed 6 tiles to a carton insuring arrival in good condi tion, with minimum loss through breakage or soiling. Saves construction time, as "lay-in" application is quick and economical, allows other trades to move in faster. Factory finish insures uniform appearance. Lowers construction costs as intermediate fire protection is eliminated, and clean-up operations are reduced. Pre-decorated units eliminate need for on-site decoration. TO THE BUILDING OWNER Greater fire protection generally results in reduced insur ance premiums. Plain or textured finishes of the tile reflect light evenly and without glare. Heat and sound transmission are reduced. Decorative finishes may be repainted economically by any conventional method. SGP 0028268 FIRE RETARDANT CONSTRUCTION (U.L. DESIGN #208 - 2 HOURS) Easy to maintain and clean. Accessibility to any area of pipes, ducts or utility lines above the ceiling. Reduced construction time permits earlier occupancy. "Firestop-120" offers all advantages of conventional types of exposed grid suspension systems plus the benefits of a 2-hour rated ceiling. Bestwall "Firestop-120" is the first gypsum ceiling tile to be given a fire retardant time designated rating. It developed 2-hour fire resistance in an Official Fire Test when the assembly was constructed in accordance with the Standard Method of Fire Tests of Building Construc tion and Materials, ASTM Designation E-119-61. REQUIREMENTS OF STANDARD FIRE TEST SUSTAIN APPLIED LOAD One of the requirements of the Standard Fire Test is that "the construction shall have sustained the applied load (theoretically the designjoad) during the fire endurance test ... for a period equal to that for which classification is desired". Where design loading is not feasible, there is an alternate requirement to determine the protection provided to steel beams. It states that the maximum temperature on the steel beams must not rise above 1200F and the average temperature of a section of the beam must not exceed 1000 F. "Firestop-120" ceiling tile on a rated exposed grid provides this type of protection to structural steel. In the Official Tests the assembly did not fail under load nor was a critical temperature even reached on the bar joists during the 2-hour fire test. Only the tile prevented heat from being transmitted to the plenum. TEMPERATURE RISE ABOVE CONCRETE The second condition of the Standard Fire Test is "trans mission of heat through the construction during the fire endurance test shall not have been such as to raise the temperature on its unexposed surface (top of the deck or slab) more than 250 above its initial temperature". The deck or floor construction plays an important role in meeting this requirement. Gypsum, Portland Cement concrete, and similar materials--because of their com positions--tend to restrain a temperature rise on the top of the slab. ADVANTAGES OF BESTWALL "FIRESTOP-120" Bestwall "Firestop-120" makes it possible, where design requirements permit, to specify lighter weight floor ceil ing assemblies. In instances where Bestwall "Firestop-120" provides greater protection to a building than codes require, the added protection may provide lower fire insurance rates on the building and contents. BESTWALL "FIRESTOP-120" IS: Strong--Glass fiber reinforcement adds strength and resiliency to the tile during handling and application, and after it is in place. Easy Working--Easy to handle panels 24" x 24" x "Firestop-120" is also easy to maintain and clean. Decorative finishes are tough, hard surfaces resistant to marking. Fast Working--Saves construction time as lay-in appli cation is quick and economical. Versatile--Offers all the advantages of conventional types of exposed grid suspensions plus the benefits of a 2-hour fire rated floor and ceiling construction. Each "Firestop-120" unit is removable for immediate access to pipes, ducts, and utility lines above the ceiling.

Lancaster Avenue Ardmore, Pa. Dear Mr. Megaw: When we were asked to develop a tile coating for your company the main factor considered was the fire resistance of the coating. Some of your competitors in the tile field test for flame resistance against the ASTM spec CS4249. Under this test procedure the "charred" area must be under 12 sq. inches. We have noticed that some of these coatings run just under 12 square inches (11.7 square inches and sometimes as low as 10 square inches). The coating on your tile under the ASTM spec CS4249 runs between 3 and 4 square inches. Quite an improvement. Mr.W. O.Stoll can give you the wind tunnel test results that again speak for the excellent fire resistance of the coating. Washability is another important factor. This test is run on a Gardner scrub machine that counts the strokes of a scrub brush (under pressure) on the tile surface that is fed a constant supply of soapy water. Your coating will withstand 200 strokes and I have seen com petitive tile go only 100 strokes. In fact one of your competitors only requires 100 strokes. We have combined excellent fire resistance with very good scrubability. This, as I explained to you, is quite unusual in that when you upgrade fire resistance you downgrade scrubability. You will normally see either one or the other -- not both. If the fire resistance is just passable, then the scrub resistance is good. You have both. Our formula is a thermosetting type and is therefore non-blocking. This is important to your sales department in that when the tiles are packaged you need have no fear of your customers unpacking them and finding "block" marks on the surface of the tile where it stuck to the back of, or the face of, another tile. SGP 0028275 Page 2 The coating gives a tough, hard, and uniform flat surface to your tile. Many tiles are highly susceptible to marking by metal tools and equipment. The Bestwall coating is highly resistant to such marking. It will metal mark, but we believe it is much better than some of the competitive tiles. The uniform matt finish of this coating is important from two standpoints. 1. It provides a softness on the eye and that is most important for ceiling tile. 2. It will not "polish". Polishing of a film is due to the surface being rubbed (thru washing or rubbing together during shipment or during installation). Have your men look at the flat coated tile from various angles and you will notice the finish is flat. Some competitive tiles have a sheen. This is done to eliminate the "polishing" effect. Your formula provides a flat, matt, finish that does not polish - even when compared to tiles that have a slight sheen. Check your competition on this point and then use it as an effective sales tool. The coating is also free from water spotting. It is not sensitive to water - many coatings are. This is important when cleaning the tile. We agree that the tile should be washed with a damp sponge or rag. This coating can take it; some cannot - they are water sensitive; your coat:.ng is not. The color of the white tile coating can be on the blue side or red side. The sample we supplied to Mr. Stoll was unshaded and therefore the tiles in his possession are unshaded. The color can remain as it is or can be tinted slightly to your preference. I sincerely hope that this information will contribute to your sales meeting. Your men can be proud of this tile coating. Should you need additional information, please let me know. Kindest personal regards. AJK/gek cc. Walter 0.

The above statements are direct quotations from irate and frightened residents of a San Francisco com munity. The comments were pub lished in the city's newspaper shortly after two fires took the lives of five people. The fires occurred within six months of each other--the second fire was only four houses away from the holocaust in which a mother and three of her children died, trapped in their second-floor bedroom. This fire could happen again and again. It could happen tonight. Builders cannot be blamed. They comply with the building codes. The codes have no fireproofing re quirements for single family homes . . . although they have strict rules for hotels and apartment buildings. The danger will remain great until city building code and housing codes are changed. The vital framing members surfaced with gypsum wallboard, were un damaged by the flames. These statements were made by city officials. The first comment was made by a leader of the city fire de partment the day after the first fire. His prophecy, all too sadly, became a reality six months later when a young woman perished by fire in her sleep. City officials have reflected on sev eral "ifs" that they hope will prevent future tragic deaths: 1. If windows were at least 2x2 ft. and within three ft. of the floor in all sleeping rooms. 2. If thin paneling used inside the homes were backed by gypsum wall- board at least one-half in. thick. , 3. If requirements were estab lished which prescribe noncombust ible interior finish materials, such as gypsum. These "ifs" became formal recom mendations for code changes in Sam Francisco. They have now been adopted. It is evident now that these fatal fires and the subsequent requests for stricter codes will ulti mately improve the standards of fire protection in the San Francisco area. But now the story is just beginning. It is the responsibility of all public spirited citizens, city building offi cials and everyone within the build ing industry, to carry on the fight for fire protection in construction. This montage of newspaper articles is evidence of the outcry for tighter regulations in building codes after two fatal fires in San Francisco. SGP 0028307 The first step is communications-- spreading the word about the im portance of fire protection in all types of construction . . . industrial, commercial and residential. Gypsum is one of the most well known and widely used fire pro tective materials in the building in dustry. Gypsum wallboard is essentially a gypsum core specially prepared in manufacturing into a sturdy panel. The second step, of course, is edu cation--what is fire protection, how can it be measured. The three standard yardsticks for measuring this fire protection are noncombustibility, fire resistance and flamespread. Noncombustibility is afforded by gypsum's unique chemical composi tion. Gypsum will not burn. Under any definition, gypsum is classified as a noncombustible material. Fire resistance designates the abil ity of a construction assembly to contain fire at its source. The meas urement of this ability is indicated by hourly ratings. Gypsum wallboard floor-ceiling and wall systems, for example, have passed two-hour tests. * These tests are conducted by leading independent laboratories. Flamespread reveals, as the term indicates, the rapidity with which flame spreads over the surface of materials. Most building codes re quire a flamespread rating of not more than 25 in public areas. Gyp sum wallboard qualifies with an ex cellent 10-15 flamespread rating. Fire is a friend of every family in many ways. Yet, uncontrolled it be comes a dreaded foe. Despite the number of destructive fires each year, fire protection in building construc tion is economical. Gypsum wallboard, with its fire protection, offers the added bonuses of sound control, fast erection, ease of handling . . . at low cost. And gypsum wallboard is avail able in a variety of sizes, types and surface finishes. The quick action by San Francisco city officials in the wake of the two fatal fires in their area is a tribute to their dedication and concern for the safety of lives and property. The code changes they recom mended should also become a stimu lus for code officials and others with in the building industry to investigate and re-evaluate the code in their area. The time for change is now. SGP 0028308 i| I These photos were taken shortly after firemen had extinguished the flames in two fatal fires. Thin combustible paneling covered the framing members which were nearly totally consumed by the flames. Moreover, paneling contributed fuel to the fire. Studs undamaged by the fire were protected with !A-`n. gypsum wallboard.

McCaskill Paoli Re: UL Design #23 By: G.C. Moore /ghp File - Gypsum Wal1 board Product Manual#2 Section 9-A The National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington, D.C. recently conducted a fire test on an exterior loadbearinq wal1 assembly at the Underwriters' Laboratories. The test Is covered under file #R1505--1--2 or UL Design #23 - 2 hours (dated April 22, 1965). The fire test was conducted on a loadbearing wall assembly consisting of nominal 2" x wood studs faced Interior side with two layers of 5/8" (Type "X" gypsum wallboard) and the exterior side one layer of 1/2" thick exterior gypsum sheathing plus a clay faced brick wall. Wood Studs. Bearing Plates and Ft restops The 2" x 4" stud members were cut into 9', 7-5/16" lengths, and three bear ing plates cut in 101 lengths. The studs were nailed at the top and bottom to a bearing plate with two 12d x 3-1/^' long common coated steel nails at each end. A second bearing plate was nailed to the bottom bearing plate with 12d- nails spaced 16" o.c. The studs were spaced 16" o.c. with the two end studs spaced 12" o.c. to accomodate the test frame dimension. The end studs were spaced about 3/4" in from the sides of the test panel to avoid side restraint. The 2" x 4" firestops were cut to length to fit the stud spacing and nailed in place along the horizontal center line with two 8d x 2-3/8" Jong cement coated steel nails in each end. The firestops were staggered to permit end nailing. Gypsum Wallboard The sheets of 5/8" Type "X" gypsum wallboard forming the Inner layer were placed horizontally on the interior side of the wall and attached to the studs with 6d x 1-7/8" long cement coated steel nails spaced vertically 8" o.c. The sheets were cut into 28" and 92" lengths and the vertical joints between adjacent wall boards were staggered at opposite ends of the assembly. The top wallboard sheet was cut Into a 24" width to accomodate the height of the opening. The sheets of gypsum wallboard forming the outer layer were placed horizontally and attached to the studs with 8d x 2-3/8" long cement coated steel nails spaced vertically 8" o.c. Full (continued on page 2) SGP 0028312 General Sales Bulletin #92-65 1 October 1965 -2- length sheets were used at the top and bottom, with the center sheet cut into 44" and 76" lengths. The half width sheet was located at the bottom of the wall such that the horizontal joints between the inner and outer layers were staggered. The outer layer joints were covered with 2" wide joint tape and compound and finished with two coats of joint compound. Nailheads were covered with joint compound. Gypsum Sheathing The sheets of 1/2" thick gypsum sheathing were placed horizontally and nailed to the studs with lid x 1-3/4" long, 7/16" diameter flathead, galvanized roofing nails spaced vertically 6" o.c. The sheets were nailed to the top and bottom bearing plates with lid x 1-3/4" long roofing nails spaced 8" o.c. The sheets were cut into various lengths such that the vertical joints between adjacent rows were staggered. Face Bricks The brick wall was laid up using full mortar joints, 3/8" to 1/2" thick. A-l" air space was allowed between the brick wall and exterior sheathing. The corrugated wall ties were attached to every stud over the sheathing with two 8d x 2-3/8" long cement coated steel nails, with the ties located at every sixth course of bricks. Attached are two copies of UL Design #23 for-your ready reference and description detail of this exterior wall design.

SGP 0028316 1 USE OF MANUAL This manual is intended to provide the designer with essential performance characteristics of a wide list of construction assemblies so that he may see at a glance their relative performance characteristics and his selection may be more accurate in meeting specific design criteria. Since fire resistance is one of the basic considerations of design, the assemblies are arranged in tabular form according to their hourly fire resistance rating and construction use. The data also includes thickness and weight of the assemblies and, when available and appli cable, test data on airborne and impact sound isolation. The tests listed in this manual have been conducted by recognized independent labora tories for the Gypsum Association or member companies. Fire ratings are the result of tests on assemblies made up of specific materials. In some cases, either the assembly or one or more of the specific materials are considered by the member company to be proprietary and are so identified by a member company identification code letter. The fire resistive ratings shown herein are based on full scale fire tests conducted in accordance with the requirements of ASTM E 119. These ratings are generally recognized by building code authorities and fire insurance rating bureaus. When designing and building to meet a given fire resistive requirement, caution must be exercised to insure that each component material is the one specified in the test reference listed by number and laboratory and that the assembly is constructed in accordance with the assembly as fire tested or meets the requirements of the rated assembly. Since lightweight plaster aggregates are superior in fire resistance to sand aggregates, most authorities permit substitution of lightweight aggregates for sand. Also, a lower ratio of sand to plaster than that used in the fire test assembly is usually permitted. Different types of gypsum board products are available for use in fire rated assemblies. These types are identified both herein and by ASTM Standard Specifications as either regu lar or type "X" (special fire retardant types). Type "X" gypsum wallboard may be substituted for regular type and/or thicker gypsum boards may be substituted for thinner boards of the same type. The appendix section of this manual contains information on the fire resistive properties of gypsum, general requirements for fire protection, and interpretation and application of the sound isolation data.

Fire resistance, or the capacity to confine fire at its source, is indicated by hourly measurements; flame spread, or the time it takes for the flame to travel over the material's surface, is numerically rated. A wide range of gypsum assemblies offer superior sound control. Rigorous laboratory and field testing determine their sound transmission properties, which are charted by single-number ratings or sound transmission classes (STC). The higher numbers listed indicate better sound control performance.

BMS-120 SGP 0028341 FIRE RESISTANT FLOOR-CEILING ASSEMBLIES FIRE RESISTANT FLOOR-CEILING ASSEMBLIES Ceilings, when used as membrane fireproofing, usually con sist of gypsum or metal lath and gypsum plaster, or gyp sum wallboard furred or suspended from the steel beams or joists. The type and thickness of wallboard or the plaster thick ness, the type of plaster aggregate and type of lath are the principal determinants for fire resistance. Sand may be used as the plaster aggregate for fire resistance ratings up to two hours and perlite or vermiculite aggregated plaster for ratings to four hours. Either gypsum or metal lath can be used. FIRE STOPPING Many building codes and fire insurance rating regulations require that the plenum space between fire resistant ceil ings and floor slabs above be fire stopped (vertically) at stated intervals. Such fire stopping must be continuous from the ceiling to the slab above as well as across the area (horizontally). Beams or girders having solid webs provide acceptable vertical fire stopping if the ceiling or a fire rated partition is in contact with the lower flange of such structural mem bers. Where the supporting steel cannot be used for fire stopping, partitions may be extended to the floor slab above, or a gypsum fireproofing vertical barrier from the ceiling to the floor construction above may be installed. CEILING OPENINGS Numerous tests have been conducted to determine the effect of openings, such as air ducts and electrical outlets, on the fire resistance of a ceiling assembly. Tests on ceilings of lath and gypsum plaster show that such openings have little or no effect on the fire resistance, provided the aggregate area of openings in a given ceiling does not exceed 100 sq. in. per 100 sq. ft. of ceiling area. Most building codes permit openings when so limited. In addition, air duct openings should be equipped with a 14gauge steel damper having a 160 F. fusible link. The area of electrical outlets should not exceed 16 sq. in. per outlet. USE OF PLENUM SPACE If the plenum space formed by the floor slab and ceiling is used as a duct to supply or exhaust conditioned air through ceiling openings, the air temperature should not exceed 125F. Condensation within the plenum space should be avoided. Where contact, furred or suspended ceilings occur under roof construction, the plenum should be vented according to recommended engineering practices. STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE OF PLASTER The Gypsum Association has prepared certain recommen dations to provide the designer with information that will permit him to predict ultimate performance of lathing and plastering systems with a much higher degree of accuracy. They are presented as guideposts to increase the crack resistance of plaster. These guideposts are not intended to be all-inclusive. Nevertheless, the basic design principles that influence performance are quite clear. A knowledge of their relative contributions to performance will more accurately reflect the degree of integrity that is expected of the plaster surface. The guideposts referred to above are contained in the following Gypsum Association publications: Recommended Specifications--Gypsum Plastering, AIA File No. 21-A-2 Performance of Lath and Plaster, AIA File No. 21-A-2 Good plaster membrane fireproofing performance is based on full compliance with the recommendations and use of the performance data compiled from the gypsum industry's long and extensive laboratory and field ex perience. Obviously, job performance is affected by several factors in addition to those covered in the publications referenced above, such as extreme weather conditions, poor or no ventilation, thermal shock, unusual framing or framing loading, etc. Precautions to prevent these factors from affecting performance must be made.

SGP 0028362 GYPSUM ASSOCIATION 47 PROTECTION OF BEAMS, GIRDERS AND TRUSSES Most building codes and fire insurance rating regulations allow beams, girders and trusses to be membrane fire proofed. Lath and plaster fireproofing of beams, etc., gen erally weighs about 10 lbs. per sq. ft. of surface area of the shell. To accomplish the same degree of protection with concrete, it would require a much greater thickness -- with weights up to 150 lbs. per cubic ft. The saving in weight is significant to the ultimate design. Beams, girders and trusses may be protected by either a continuous ceiling membrane of gypsum lath and plaster or gypsum wallboard or by enclosing them individually. CONTINUOUS CEILING PROTECTION The American Insurance Association and most building codes allow for use of gypsum wallboard or gypsum lath and plaster ceilings, as described in Section V, Fire Re sistant Floor-Ceiling Assemblies, for beam or girder pro tection. The ceiling must carry the same rating as required for the structural member. If the bottom of the beam extends not more than 6 inches below the plane of the ceiling, the ceiling is furred down and around the structural member. If the projection is more than 6 inches, the gypsum lath and plaster beam pro tection should extend from ceiling to floor above (indi vidually protected). When the ceiling fireproofing is in contact with the bot tom of a solid web structural member, the structural mem ber can be considered to be a fire stop. Care must be taken, however, that no combustible material is present in the plenum space. INDIVIDUAL ENCASEMENT PROTECTION The individual encasement of beams, girders, etc., with a shell of gypsum lath and plaster is generally accepted by regulatory bodies, and may be desirable: (1) When the fire protection for such members, usually higher than for floors, would unduly increase the cost of the ceiling. If there are relatively few 3 or 4 hour protected beams, girders, etc., and only a 2hour ceiling is required, it is generally uneconomical to use a 3 or 4 hour ceiling throughout. (2) Where no ceiling is required or where a non-rated ceiling is to be used. Individual encasement of heavy beams, girders, etc., is usually accomplished by ap plication of gypsum plaster to self-furring metal lath which has been formed to box the beam, or gypsum plaster may be applied directly to the member itself. 48 SGP 0028363 FIRE RESISTANT BEAMS, GIRDERS TRUSSES PROTECTION OF BEAMS, GIRDERS AND TRUSSES Ceilings -- Membrane Fireproofing DESCRIPTION OF PROTECTION Suspended metal lath ceiling, 2V2" air space between lath and protected structural member, 1" thick 1:2--1:3 gypsum-vermiculite plaster (12" o.c. furring channel spacing).

SGP 0028367 THE FIRE RESISTANT PROPERTIES OF GYPSUM Gypsum is one of the nation's most widely used fire resistive materials. It is extracted from the earth's surface in rock form by the usual mining and quarrying processes. Gypsum rock, known chemically as CaS0t.2HL>0, is cal cium sulphate combined with two molecules of water. Thus, 100 pounds of gypsum rock contains about 21 pounds, or ten quarts, of chemically combined water. In the manufacturing process, the rock is crushed or pulverized and then subjected to high temperatures. The heat removes about three-fourths of the chemically com bined water and the resulting product is calcined gypsum, CaS04.1/2H20. In this form it is often known as plaster of Paris, a name derived from the vast beds of pure white gypsum underlying the City of Paris. Calcined gypsum is the base material from which most finished gypsum products are made and in this form has a great affinity for water. When water is added, the calcined gypsum rapidly reverts to its original chemical composi tion and rock-like hardness by the process known as "setting." It is the combined water in gypsum that makes it such an effective fire barrier. When exposed to fire, the water of crystallization is slowly released as steam which effec tively retards heat transfer, a phenomenon called cal cination. The manner in which gypsum insulates against the transfer of high temperatures is best likened to what hap pens when the intense heat from a blow torch is directed against a solid block of ice. Even though the ice melts, one may safely hold his hand on the opposite side. The low temperature on that side is maintained until the heat has melted all of the ice. Even when only one-quarter inch thick, the ice will not transmit the intense heat until it has completely melted. When steel columns or other structural members pro tected by gypsum are exposed to fire, the chemically com bined water acts as a heat barrier until the slow process of calcination is completed. The temperature immediately behind the plane of calcination does not greatly exceed the boiling point of water (212F.) -- a temperature far below the point at which steel begins to lose its strength. After the gypsum has been completely calcined, a white chalky material remains to insulate against direct contact with the flames. In addition to its marked ability to retard the transfer of intense heat, gypsum is noncombustible. REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE PROTECTION ' 4t&" Although desirable, it is not feasible to construct com pletely fireproof structures. The designer is confronted with integrating those fire protection measures required by law (building codes) and such additional measures that make the building more economical from the stand point of fire insurance costs. All of this must be done within his over-all design concept. Building codes are concerned with safety to life and, in regard to fire protection, are primarily concerned with: 1. Noncombustibility of materials 2. Fire resistance 3. Flame spread The fire insurance industry is concerned with these, plus possible fire damage to the structure itself. NONCOMBUSTIBILITY Most building codes require the use of noncombustible construction materials in Type I and II buildings and, to a limited degree, in many less fire resistive structures. Several definitions of noncombustibility are in use today. The more widely used definitions, such as that found in the American Insurance Association's National Building Code, classify gypsum concrete, tile, plank, plaster, lath, backer board, coreboard, wallboard, and sheathing as non combustible. This noncombustibility definition, also promulgated by the Gypsum Association, is as follows: "Noncombustible as applied to a building construction material means a material which, in the form in which it is used, falls in one of the following groups a. through c. It does not apply to surface finish materials nor to the determination of whether a material is noncombustible from the standpoint of clearances to heating appliances, flues or other sources of high temperature. No material shall be classed as noncombustible which is subject to in crease in combustibility or flame spread rating beyond the limits herein established, through the effects of age, mois ture or other atmospheric condition. Flame spread rating as used herein refers to ratings obtained according to the Standard Test Method for Fire Hazard Classification of Building Materials, ASTM E 84. "a. Materials no part of which will ignite when subjected to fire. Any material which liberates flammable gas when heated to any temperature up to 1380 F. for five minutes shall not be considered noncombustible within the mean ing of this paragraph. "b. Materials having a structural base of noncombustible material, as defined in a. with a surfacing not over %-inch thick which has a flame spread rating not higher than 50. "c. Materials in the form and thickness used, other than as described in a. or b., having a flame spread not higher than 25 without evidence of continued progressive com bustion and of such composition that surfaces that would be exposed by cutting through the material in any way would not have a flame spread rating higher than 25 with out evidence of continued progressive combustion." FIRE RESISTANCE Fire resistance is the term used to designate the ability of a construction assembly to contain the fire at its source and to prevent its spread through the assembly to adjacent rooms. The degree to which such assemblies contain the fire is indicated by hourly ratings. If an assembly is known to contain the fire at its source for two hours, when tested, it is accorded a two hour fire resistance rating. Fire resistance ratings are determined by full scale fire tests conducted at nationally recognized laboratories in accordance with procedures outlined in ASTM Standard E 119, Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials. The conditions of these tests are well defined and failure is indicated by such end points as excess heat transmission, passage of flame, load failure, etc. Comprehensive research by fire protection engineers has determined the average of the combustible contents to be expected for a given occupancy; also the time required for the contents to be consumed by fire and the resulting tem perature. Thus the average fire load is predictable for a given occupancy and fire resistance ratings are assigned accordingly. FLAME SPREAD Flame spread requirements are intended to regulate the use of finishing materials and the rapidity with which flames spread over their surfaces. The most widely accepted test to determine the flame spread characteristics of a material is defined by ASTM Specification E 84, a test commonly known as the Tunnel Test. It provides a means for measur ing relative flame spread, fuel contribution and the amount of smoke developed from the material. Some building codes require the use of interior finish materials having a flame spread rating of not more than 25 where the life hazard is high, such as schools, public as sembly rooms, corridors, exitways, etc. As the exposure hazard decreases, correspondingly higher flame spread rat ings are permitted. A numerical classification has been established by ASTM by which the performance of the material may be compared with that of asbestos-cement board and select-grade red flooring oak, which have been arbitrarily established as 0 and 100, respectively. Following is a list of commonly used materials, with their representative flame spread ratings, as tested according to ASTM Specification E 84.

SGp 0028369 54 REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE PROTECTION INSURANCE ECONOMICS Although a building may be designed to meet the fire re sistance requirements of the local building code, these mini mum requirements may not result in the most economical fire insurance rates. Often, design to incorporate higher fire rated systems than required to meet the code will result in premium reduction, more than offsetting the increased initial building cost. This is particularly true of other than Type I and II buildings which generally have code require ments resulting in most economical insurance rates. The local insurance rating bureaus and fire insurance engineers stand ready and willing to advise the means by which these lower insurance rates may be obtained on any structure, and the designer is urged to avail himself of such professional advice. ig ". . r,, : \ Jty Member Company Code Letter ALLIED CHEMICAL CORPORATION...........

However, the de mands for relief by tenants and owners from oppressive noise are being registered with mortgage lending institu tions, all of which introduce another dimension in design criteria for the architect. Thus, the designer must select systems that not only meet building code and/or fire insur ance requirements, but he must also consider privacy from excessive noise. After several years of intensive research, the gypsum industry has developed a vast array of systems with sound isolation data. This manual is intended to provide a single source for authentic test data for fire protection and sound isolation (including airborne and impact noise). Caution should be exercised in deviating from the ma terials specified in sound rated constructions, particularly in substitution of lightweight plaster aggregate for sand and reduction of sand proportioning in plaster, which will cause a reduction in sound transmission loss. The difference between the sound energy in the source room and the sound energy in the receiving room is the Sound Transmission Loss value of the separating assembly, and is measured in decibels (db) in a sound test laboratory, where tests are conducted in accordance with accepted standards and reported as a single number rating (STC). A single number rating is the preferred system for eval uating the effectiveness of a partition, floor, ceiling or con struction systems in resisting transmission of airborne sound. The rating is given in terms of a Sound Transmis sion Class (STC) rating in accordance with ASTM Stand ard E 90-61T or E 90-66T. The STC rating is used exclusively in this manual, unless otherwise stated. Similarly, a single number rating is used, at present, to evaluate the effectiveness of floor-ceiling assemblies in re sisting structure-borne and impact noise. The rating usually is given as an Impact Noise Rating (INR) in accordance with the ISO method of test. The concern here is limited to floor-ceiling constructions. Although the STC is the preferred single number air borne sound transmission loss rating for a wall or partition, floor, ceiling or construction systems wherever possible the entire sound transmission loss curve should be used. The STC rating based on ASTM E 90-61T is used in this manual, unless otherwise stated. w The sound transmission class of a partition, floor, ceiling or construction systems based on ASTM E 90-61T consists of a comparison of the test results plotted on V2 octave paper and a standard curve consisting of a flat portion from 4000 to 1414 cps (cycles per second), a 6 db slope down to 354 cps, and then a further 14 db slope to 125 cps. Over the first three frequencies and also over the last three, the test curve could be a total of 3 db under the standard curve. No deficiency is allowed between 354 and 1414 cps. The STC is determined by the db level at the flat portion of the standard curve. The new test method, ASTM E 90-66T, calls for V3 octave test frequencies. Consequently, the standard curve had to be changed to correspond with the new test frequen cies. The flat portion now is between 1250 and 4000 cps, the line drops 5 db to 400 cps, and another 15 db to 125 cps. The rules for classification are as follows: 1. The STL curve may dip a maximum of 8 db below the standard contour curve at any test frenquency. 2. The sum of the differences at the test frequencies be tween the contour curve and where the STL curve is below it shall not be greater than 32. 3. The STC is the value of the standard contour at 500 cps when the preceding two conditions are satisfied. The question that immediately arises is what difference may be expected in the STC values under these two differ ent test methods. In a majority of cases, there will be no change or a minor increase, usually not exceeding 1 STC, even though there is a possibility of an increase up to 4 STC, or a minor decrease due to the extra detail in the curves based on greater number of test frequencies. The graphs following illustrate the STC determination of a single partition by each of the test methods.

These modern day mir acles have enriched our lives and benefitted us in many ways. They have, however, introduced one big disadvantage. These conveniences create unwanted sound in performing their functions. Consider the increase in the number of radios, the increased num ber of motor vehicles, the five and one-half million television sets, plus other noisemakers such as dish washers, stereo sets and air conditioning units. Occupants and tenants of homes, apartments and motels demand isolation from these unwanted sounds. Since in most cases it is not feasible to eliminate these noise sources, an immense challenge has been presented to the architect, builder, con tractor, and building material and equipment manu facturer to control our acoustic environment. -A'~ ; SC N S" Before sound can be effectively controlled, its gen eral nature must be understood. Sound is a pressure wave that travels outward in all directions from its source at a speed of 1,120 feet per second. It exists in a range of audible frequencies from 20 cycles or vibrations per second to 20,000 cycles per second. At 20 cycles, the sound is very low pitched or dull, and at 20,000 cycles the sound is very high pitched or shrill. Most speech falls in the 350 to 4000 cycle range. The loudness of sound, regardless of fre quency, is measured in units called decibels. A range of about 10 to 120 decibels covers the intensity of sound from a faint whisper to a deafening roar. Average conversation is at the 40 to 60 decibel level. Sound may be pleasant and necessary. When it becomes annoying and unwanted we call it noise. THREE A/AYS TO CONTROL SOUND Basically, unwanted sound can be reduced in three ways: The first is to reduce the sound level within a room or other undivided space. Sound absorbing materials are very effective for this purpose. These materials absorb the noise instead of reflecting it back into the room. Hard walls, floors and ceiling surfaces will reflect sounds and increase noise prob lems. Carpeting, drapes and upholstered furniture will absorb sound and help control it within a room. Acoustical tile and acoustical plasters are also used to absorb sound. The second way to limit the noise within a room or other interior area is to prevent sound waves from being transmitted from an adja cent room or occupancy by providing effective sound barrier construction for the walls, floors and ceilings which separate the rooms. The third method is to isolate the sound source. Considerable sound energy may be transmitted through the legs of a piano or radio into the floor. This can be partly eliminated by putting the legs in castor cups or inserting any type of cushion under the legs. Sound may also be caused by machinery which communicates its own vibration to the building structure by direct mechani cal contact. In this case a resilient mounting placed under the machine or a separate floating foundation may be used. Reduction in the intensity of sound is called sound isolation. Like sound intensity, it is measured in deci bels (db). If a sound level of 70 db is generated in one room and the sound level in the second room is 30 db, the difference between the sound levels is a measure of the isolation provided by the wall, and the wall is referred to as having a 40 db Sound Trans mission Loss. A factor that must be considered is the background noise level that will mask an equivalent amount of sound. Background noises can be caused by street traffic, trains, mechanical equipment, etc.; thus the level of this background noise is dependent upon the building and room location. The basic objective in sound isolation is to reduce the trans mitted noise level below that of the background noise level or to an acceptable level, whichever is greater. 7-1 E ~'-N'Z-3ZCM ~E3~ !V(I~HCU To compare the effectiveness of wall construction in preventing the passage of sound, a two-room sound SGP 0028376 3 INTRODUCTION test method is generally used. In this method, a steady sound is generated on one side of the wall and then measured on both sides. This is generally done at eleven frequencies from 125 to 4000. The difference in sound level is called the transmission loss of the wall. It may refer to one frequency or the arithmetic average of 9 or 11 frequencies. In the illustration previously used, a sound level of 70 db is generated in one room and a level of 30 db is measured in the adjoining room. Therefore the trans mission loss of the wall is 40 db. SOUND TRANSMISSION CLASS In the past, several different means were used for rating walls. Arithmetical averages frequently used were sometimes unfair, in that they allowed a good rating to be given a wall that performed poorly at an important frequency. In the recently revised ASTM Designation E90-61 T, "Tentative Recommended Practice for LABORATORY MEASUREMENT OF AIR BORNE SOUND TRANSMISSION LOSS OF BUILD ING FLOORS AND WALLS", provision is made for rating walls and other partitions by a single number called the Sound Transmission Class (STC). This system measures the performance of a wall in con formance to certain predetermined standards at all frequencies. The STC rating is easy to use and is currently the most realistic means for comparing performance. The higher the STC value, the better the assembly will resist sound passage. WHAT PARTITION DO YOU CHOOSE? Before choosing a partition for a building, whether it be high rise, industrial or residential, you must clearly define the sound control problem you face. First, what is the background noise level? The higher the background noise, the more transmitted noise can be tolerated. Background noise is an exceedingly important element in all noise control situations, for it helps mask sporadic intruding sounds. For exam ple, an intruding noise which would be intolerable in a quiet country village might go completely unno ticed in an apartment on a busy street, where the continuous hum of traffic masks out the noises from the adjoining room without itself seeming unpleas ant. Next, how critical is the situation in regard to sound isolation? Naturally certain rooms will require more privacy than others, depending upon their use. PROPER :N5~AL_A~:C^ After the wall and floor-and-ceiling constructions have been selected, it is important that they be installed properly. The following precautions should be taken during installation to avoid situations or conditions which will detract from the sound control properties of the assembly: 1. Caulk between top and bottom member and floor or ceiling line. Leaks allow sound to pass through. 2. Avoid back-to-back electrical outlets, plumbing outlets, etc. Sound can pass directly through the wall at these locations. 3. Do not use unnecessary fasteners. Fasteners recommended are optimum, and additional fasteners may reduce the separation effect and cause the wall to lose some of its isolation properties. 4. When laminating full size sheets, apply lami nating adhesive in narrow bands around the perimeter and down the center of each sheet. Full lamination reduces sound barrier prop erties. 5. Use gasketing at areas where partitions join windows or other difficult to seal areas. Sound can travel around a partition if given the opportunity to do so. 6. Avoid connecting plenum chambers, ducts, vents, etc. These permit the unrestricted flow of sound. Corrective measures are to make partitions full height, and use ducts lined with absorbent material. SOUND CONTROL . . . NOT A MATTER 0^ CHANCE You can readily see from this introduction that par titions with good sound isolation properties do not happen by chance. It takes a basic understanding of sound, careful planning, careful selection of mate rials, and proper installation. The Bestwall Systems shown in this booklet are the result of intensive research by our engineers into the problem of noise control. Some of these systems have better sound control properties than others, but all, to some extent, give us the ability to control our acoustic environment. The system you choose will depend upon your budget limitations and upon the acoustical requirements you must meet. 4 SGP 0028377 GENERAL OBSERVATIONS There are some important factors affecting sound transmission loss of partitions that have not been previously mentioned. They should however, be given careful consideration. One way to reduce sound transmission is to reduce the amount of fasteners used. This makes the attach ment less rigid, which is desirable from the stand point of sound isolation. An improvement also occurs if a resilient attachment is used between the stud and the wallboard. This allows some relative move ment between the board and the stud. Another method to consider is complete separation. This can be accomplished in partitions by staggering the studs. Staggered studs tend to break the continuity of sound because, being independent, they transmit less sound from one wall surface to another. Unequal sides, such as two sheets of gypsum wallboard on one side and one sheet on the other, reduce sound transmission by preventing the faces from vibrating sympathetically. The use of sound absorbent mate rials such as mineral wool or other fibrous material and/or sound deadening board in an assembly can also play an important role in sound control. All of the test results on the following pages are results obtained under laboratory testing conditions where controlled conditions reduce variables to a minimum. In the field, these laboratory conditions are not always met, since many other variables are introduced. Laboratory results will generally exceed results of field tests, but the tests under controlled conditions are the only logical way to compare the performance of different assemblies.

BACKGROUND NOISE LEVEL--Noise level of the environment, created by street traffic, trains, me chanical equipment, etc. An objective of noise con trol is to reduce the sound transmitted to a level below the background noise level. DECIBEL--A unit used for measuring the intensity (loudness) of sound. The easiest way to identify sound pressure levels is to compare them to sounds which we recognize readily. For example, the sound heard in a quiet home or soft radio music would be at approximately the 35 decibel level. The sound in a noisy office or department store would be at approximately the 60 decibel level. Average con versation is in the 35 to 65 decibel range. FREQUENCY--The number of sound waves per sec ond produced by the source of sound. Audible fre quencies range from 20 cycles per second (cps) to 20,000 cps. Middle "C", for example, is 262 cps. NOISE--Unwanted sound. SOUND--A pressure wave that travels outward in all directions from its source at a speed of 1,120 feet per second. Sound may also be the source, or the sensation experienced in the ears when pressure waves strike the eardrums. SOUND ABSORPTION--The absorption of the energy of sound waves by a porous or soft, limp material. Carpeting and upholstered furniture will help absorb sound within a room, whereas hard walls, floors and ceiling surfaces will reflect sound. SOUND DEADENING BOARD--A low density fiber board product designed to reduce sound transmis sion in wall and floor-and-ceiling systems. SOUND LEVEL--The loudness or intensity of sound, measured in decibels. SOUND TRANSMISSION CUSS (STC)--The sound transmission loss performance of a partition desig nated by a single number. The STC rating provides a reliable means of comparing the noise reduction properties of wall systems. The STC rating, by use of a standard curve, lowers the rating of a parti tion with poor sound characteristics at isolated fre quencies which is not done by the arithmetical average. SPEECH INTERFERENCE ZONE --The frequency range (500-2800 cps) which includes average con versation. The Speech Interference Zone number is obtained by averaging the transmission loss curve between 500 and 2800 cps. TRANSMISSION LOSS -- The difference in sound levels (measured in decibels) obtained by measur ing the sound intensity on both sides of a wall assembly with a noise source on one side. TRANSMITTED NOISE LEVEL -- The sound that passes through a wall. SGP 0028392 19 BW-6505 10M I/*1!

Introduction: At the request of the Georgia-Pacific Corpora tion, Bestwall Gypsum Division, Paoli, Pennsylvania, the Research Committee of the International Conference of Building Officials has made a re-examination of the data submitted in connection with the use of the above gypsum products for use as a backing material behind approved finish materials in shower and tub en closures. II. Description: General: The Bestwall Gypsum Division's Tile Backer Board is manufactured with a li-inch thickness with widths of 4 feet and in lengths of 8 feet, 11 feet and 12 feet with tapered factory bound edges. The board contains an asphaltic gypsum core with a blue water-resistant face paper and a charcoal gray breather type back paper. Bestwall Firestop Tile Backer Board is manufactured with a %-inch thickness and may be used where fire-resistive construction is required. Installation shall be in accordance with the Code or as described in Research Recommendations No. 1000, No. 1144 or No. 11.55 issued to the Bestwall Gypsum Division of GeorgiaPacific Corporation. Installation: Full size sheets of gypsum wallboard having a thick ness of '.2 inch are applied horizontally to supports spaced 16 inches on center and attached in the manner prescribed by the Code or applicable Research Recommendations. For tub and shower enclosures, the tub or shower receptor or pan is positioned with respect to the studs so that projecting lips of the units are flush with the outside face of the wallboard. A '4-inch clearance between the paperbound edge of the wallboard and the tub, receptor or pan must be maintained. All wallboard joints, cut edges and pipe openings are protected with a 2-inch wide vinyl tape which is supplied as an integral part of the backing system. An alternate method of treatment in lieu of using 2-inch wide vinyl tape is to treat all wallboard joints cut or raw edges with an approved waterproof sealer such as manufactured by Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company's CTA 11. When ceramic tile is more than p. inch thick, solid blocking is required between studs. One row of the blocking is located approximately 1 inch above the tub or receptor and an additional row at the midpoint between the tub and the ceiling. Also, when the tile is more than o. inch thick, the nails for applying the gypsum wallboard shall be spaced a maximum of 4 inches on center. A waterproofing mem brane is applied to the exposed face of the wallboard by either of the following methods: 1. With the flat edge of a trowel, a full iV, -inch skim coat of tile adhesive is evenly applied to the entire surface receiving the tile. The adhesive is applied also to the bottom edge of the wallboard and to fill the cutout spaces around the pipes, soap dishes, towel bars, etc. A setting time of 24 hours is required. Adhesives used as sealants under ceramic tile must conform to U. S. Department of Commerce Commercial Standard No. 181-52, "Water-Resistant Organic Adhesives for Installation of Clay Tile." After the skim coat has hardened so that it will not be grooved by the notches of the trowel, a bedding coat of the same adhesive is applied. The bedding coat extends down over the lip of the tub, receptor or pan to form a water dam behind the bottom edge of the tile. 2. A waterproofed sealer is used in lieu of the skim coat of the tile adhesive described above. Sealers shall be only those specifically made for the purpose, and compatible with the tile adhesive, such as certain rubber base sealants. The sealer is evenly applied in a heavy brush application. Permitted sealers are: Miracle Adhesive Corporation's Ceramic Tile Primer; Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company's CTA 50 Primer, or approved sealers of comparable quality. All edges of cutouts for pipes, soap dishes, towel bars, etc., must be sealed and then caulked with waterproof, nonhard ening caulking compound. After the sealer coat has dried thoroughly, the bedding adhesive is trowelled on to receive the tile. Identification: The products are identified by the color and by tape bearing the company and product name. III. Points of Variance with the Uniform Building Code: Section 1711 (a) of the Uniform Building Code requires that materials forming shower and tub enclosures be of a type not adversely affected by moisture. IV. Evidence Submitted: Installation instructions are submitted. Recommendation V. Recommendation: That the application of the Tile Backer Board described above in shower and bath areas as a backing material for approved nonabsorbent finishes is a satisfactory alter nate method of construction to that specified in the Uniform Building Code provided the installation is in accordance with the description in Part II of this report. This recommendation is granted for a period of one year from date, at which time a request shall be made for re-examination in accordance with the Policy and Rules of Procedure of the Research Committee.

A second layer of 9k-inch Firestop wallboard having 4-inch wide strips of laminating com pound spaced 2 inches from the edges and 4 inches from the ver tical center line then is applied over the first layer to which was attached the glass insulation backing. The second layer is posi tioned so that vertical joints are offset from the initial layer and is secured with 194 -inch long No. 6 drywall screws spaced 16 inches on center at intermediate studs and 12 inches on center around the perimeter of the wallboard. Exposed joints are taped and joints and screw heads are treated with two coats of joint compound. Two-hour Fire-resistive Nonbearing Partition: The partition construction consists of Donn DW-40 2^-inch deep by No. 25 gauge channel-shaped studs which are inserted into Donn DS-400 2 La-inch by No. 25 gauge steel stud top and bottom tracks. Tem porary shims, V4 inch thick, are placed beneath each stud to main tain *4-inch clearance at both ends of the studs. The shims are removed after a base layer is applied to one side. A base layer of Vk-ineh Firestop Bestwall Gypsum Wallboard is attached to each side of the studs with 1-inch long drywall screws spaced 12 inches on center at vertical joints and along the stud tracks and at third points along intermediate studs (not to exceed 40 inches). The screws are self-drilling and self-tapping, contain a .345-inch diam eter fiat Phillips head, and are fully threaded with an outside thread diameter of .147 inch. Vertical joints on one face are offset one stud space with respect to those on the opposite face. Lam inating compound then is applied to the back surface of a second layer of Vi-inch wallboard in 4-inch wide strips located 2 inches from the edge and approximately 4 inches off the vertical center line. The second layer then is applied to the base layer and at tached with 194 -inch long drywall screws of the same character istics as described above spaced 12 inches on center at the vertical joints and tracks and 16 inches on center at intermediate studs. The face layer vertical joints are offset from base layer vertical joints one stud space. Joints are taped and finished with joint com pound and screws are covered with a double coat of joint com pound. One-hour Fire-resistive Floor and Ceiling: The floor and ceiling construction consists of 2 inches of concrete on steel joists to which 94-inch cold-rolled furring channels or approved nailing channels are attached with No. 18 gauge galvanized wire. Channels are doubled where butt joints occur. The 9k-inch thick wallboard is attached to the furring channels with No. 6 flathead sheet metal screws 8 inches on center or to the nailing channels with 1V4 -inch annular nails spaced 6 inches on center. An alternate method of construction consists of steel joists spaced 24 inches on center with a sand-gravel reinforced concrete slab 2 inches thick poured over a metal lath form supported on the joists.

Adjoining main runners are connected at the web with a 9% -inch by 1 '2-inch galvanized steel splicer punched from No. 21 gauge galvanized steel. The hanger wires are tied to the tees by drilling holes through the upstanding web of the tee to accommodate the 4-foot hanger wire spacing. The 4-foot long cross tees are supported at the main tees by a snap-lock which is located on both ends of the cross tee. The cross tee is pushed and hooked in place and leveled at the cross tee intersec tion holes that are located 12 inches on center on the main tees. The same type of connection is used for connecting the cross tees intersecting cross tees. The 2-foot long cross tees span between the 4-foot cross tees to form the 2-foot by 4-foot module. The gypsum wallboard lay-in tiles are supported on the flanges of the tees with the soffit of the tiles approximately 8 inches below the bottom chord of the joists. Steel air ducts aggregating not more than 70 inches in area for any 100 square feet of ceiling area may be in stalled in the ceiling system. The air ducts are supported by fram ing members spanned between the joists and are provided with fire dampers. Recessed light fixtures 2 feet by 4 feet in size and spaced to provide not more than 8 square feet in area for any 100 square feet of ceiling area also may be installed. The light fixtures are 24-inch Nlobelex Type "G" as manufactured by Daybrite Light ing, Inc., and are protected by a light fixture protection shield. The shield consists of a 30-inch by 48-inch piece of wallboard scored on one side and broken to lay lengthwise over the light fixture forming sloping sides 7 inches wide with a top width of 16 inches. Ends of the shield are cut 6 inches by 26 inches in size and slotted to fit over the cross tees at each end. The end pieces are secured to the top and sides with 8-penny common nails. The light fixtures are placed on the main runners and cross tees. Two-hour Fire-resistive Floor-ceiling (Roof-ceiling) with Bestwall Firestop "120" Ceiling Tile: The construction consists of a 2-inch thick reinforced concrete slab poured on a 3.4-pound ribbed metal lath form over 10-inch minimum depth open web steel joists spaced 24 inches on center. The ceiling construction consists of a suspended ceiling with the soffit location 4'2 inches from the bot tom chord of the joist. The ceiling suspension system is composed of main beams and cross tees formed from 1'2-inch deep by No. 25 gauge steel bulb tee sections with a 1-inch flange and a '4-inch by '4-inch deep bulb. The main beams are plated per pendicular to the joists at intervals of 48 inches on centei and are supported by No. 12 gauge single strand wire hangers. The main runners are provided with an expansion relief splicer device for each tee. The expansion relief device consists of a "\V" punched cutout extending from above the exposed flange through the bulb of the tee. The cutouts are located at splice plates. Elongated "T" slots attach the splicer to the main tee web, providing a slip joint between the tee and splicer. The splicers are held from slipping by the uncut exposed flange. Expansion also is provided for in cross tees at the stop which butts the main tee web, allowing the cross tee to overlap the main runner flange. Four-foot long cross tees then are placed between the main beams at 24 inches on center and connected thereto with a snap-lock connection as previously described. Bestwall Firestop "120" ceiling tile lay-in units Ni inch thick and 24 inches square then are placed in the exposed grid system. Identification: All wallboards are identified with a light marking of the respective manufacturer consisting of the words "%" Bestwall Firestop-Type X" repeated down the center of each sheet and spaced approximately 5 feet on center. In addition, each bundle consisting of two sheets has an end bundling tape which bears the label service symbol of Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. The '/inch Type X gypsum wallboard is identified by the words "Vs-Inch Type X" printed on the tapered edge of each sheet. III. Points of Variance with the Uniform Building Code: Chap ter 43 assigns no fire-resistive rating to this type of construction. IV. Evidence Submitted: The results of fire endurance tests conducted in accordance with U.B.C. Standard No. 43-1-64 are submitted. Recommendation V. Recommendation: That the types of construction described in Part II of this report are satisfactory alternate fire-resistive assemblies to those specified in the Uniform Building Code for the uses noted. This recommendation is granted for a period of one year from date, at which time a request shall be made for re-examination in accordance with the Policy and Rules of Procedure of the Re search Committee.

Introduction: At the request of the Georgia-Pacific Corpora tion, Bestwall Gypsum Division, Paoli, Pennsylvania, the Research Committee of the International Conference of Building Officials has made a study of the data submitted in connection with the use of the above gypsum laths for fire-resistive construction and has noted that the Uniform Building Code does not fully provide for such use. II. Description: One-hour Fire-resistive Steel Stud Nonbearing Partitions: Consist of Donn DS-40 nailable steel studs 2 Vi inches deep spaced 16 inches on center with %-inch thick Type "X" Plain Gypsum Lath or Type "X" Pinholath applied to each face followed by a coat of sanded gypsum plaster. The lath is attached to the studs by Donn D-ll-% clips and Donn A-616 annular ringed cad mium-plated nails, .025 inch in diameter and 1% inches long. Three nails are used per stud per sheet of lath. Three lath clips are used at each vertical butt joint. The lath sheets are staggered so that butt joints do not occur at studs. Horizontal bridging consisting of %-inch furring channels is threaded through the studs at mid- oint. The studs are inserted into Donn DS-400-2% ceiling and ase runners which are attached to the supporting framing using approved fasteners spaced at 24 inches on center. A i7.: -inch thick base coat of sanded or perlite plaster is applied to the lath in a scratch, double back operation using the proportion of 100 pounds of plaster to 200 pounds of plaster sand or to two cubic feet of perlite. A finish coat of plaster i inch thick consisting of three volumes of lime putty to one of slow set gauging plaster then is applied. An alternate system of construction consists of 2 % -inch deep Milcor No. 18 gauge steel studs spaced 16 inches on center and faced each side with %-inch Type "X" gypsum lath covered with a %-inch thickness of glass fibered plaster. The construction employs Milcor Standard iY.-inch by 2%-inch tracks formed from No. 18 gauge steel fastened to the floor and ceiling with approved fasteners spaced not over 24 inches on cen ter. The 2%-inch deep channel-shaped steel studs containing %inch wide flanges are inserted into the track at 16 inches on center and fastened thereto with 7-inch stud shoes wire tied to the track with No. 18 gauge tie wires. The lath is installed with Olsen Type BRC resilient starterfinisher clips at the partition perimeter with Olsen REZ clips at stud locations and Olsen Type C bridge clips at the lath ends. Ver tical joints in each succeeding lath course are staggered. The plaster coat then is applied to each side in a double back operation using a 1:2 mix by weight, Bestwall Gypsum Plaster to sand. The base coat is applied to a thickness of :7,: inch and a iY.-inch thick limeputty plaster white coat then is applied to bring the total thickness to % inch. Materials: All materials conform to appropriate standards speci fied in Chapter 47 of the Code. In addition, Pinholath contains iY-inch diameter holes in the exposed face paper. The holes are spaced % inch on center diagonally.

ICBO Research card 1814.2 covers Pyresote treatment and Research card 2096.1 covers spacing on 24" centers'. (b) Cities like San Francisco or Oakland which publish their own building codes. In San Francisco, Ordinance No. 255-65 of October 13, 1965, covers the permissive use of Pyresote treated studs. Approval 192A25.1 of February 21, 1966, covers spacing on 24" centers. ICBO Research cards listed in (a) above are honored in Oakland. (c) Cities which use earlier editions of the Uniform Building Code generally accept ICBO Research recommendations 1814.2 and 2096.1 described in (a) above. (d) Title 19, California State Fire Marshal Administrative Code, which covers institutions, schools, buildings and all other occupancies over which the state has jurisdiction. Title 19 also permits roof decks and floors in Type IV buildings. Application has been made to the State Fire Marshal for approval and listing of the assembly with studs spaced on 24" centers. Until the general approval is granted, requests should be made for modification on each specific job. (e) Federal Housing Administration "Minimum Property Standards for Multi-Family Housing" (FHA 2600) permits Pyresote treated wood studs for framing within 2-hr. non-bearing fire walls or party walls (Sect. M506-1.8a), studs within 2-hr. bearing fire walls or lot-line walls (Sect. M506-1.8b) and Pyresote studs in 1-1/2 hr. party walls in row or town house properties(Sect.M506-1.9). Authorities having jurisdiction should be contacted to confirm the above and to determine the broader uses permitted by some cities.

The bedding coat extends down over the lip of the tub. receptor or pan to form a water dam behind the bottom edge of the tile. 2. A waterproofed sealer is used in lieu of the skim coat of the tile adhesive described above. Sealers shall be otilx those specifically made for the purpose, and compatible with the tile adhesive, such as certain rubber base sealants. The sealer is evenly applied in a heavy brush application. Permitted sealers are: Miracle Adhesive Corporation's Ceramic Tile Primer; Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company's CTA 50 Primer, or approved sealt-rs of comparable quality. All c-dges of cutouts for pipexs, soap dishes, towel bars, etc., must be sealed and then caulked with waterproof, nouhardc'liing caulking compound. After the sealer coat has dried thoroughly, the betiding adhesive is trowelled on to receive the tile Identification: The products are identified by the color and by tape bearing the company and product name. III. Points of Variance with the Lhiiform Building Code: Section 1711 (a) of the Uniform Building Cotie requires that materials forming shower and tub enclosures be of a type not adversely allectcd by moisture IV. Evidence Submitted: Installation instructions arc submitted. Recommendation V. Recommendation: That the application of the Tile Backer Board described above in shower and bath areas as a backing material for approved nonabsorbent finishes is a satisfactory alter nate method of construction to that specified in the Uniform Building Code provided the installation is in accordance with the description in Part II of this report. This recommendation is granted for a period of one year from date, at which time a request shall he made for re-examination in accordance with the Policy and Rules of Procedure of the Research Committee.

Introduction: At the request of the Georgia-Pacific Corpora tion, Bestwall Gypsum Division, Paoli, Pennsylvania, the Research Committee of the International Conference of Building Officials has made a study of the data submitted in connection with the above Type "X" Gypsum wallboards for one-, two-, three- and four-hour fire-resistive column protection and has noted that the Uniform Building Code does not assign fire-resistive ratings to this type of construction. II. Description: One-hour Fire-resistive Column Protection: The one-hour fire-resistive column protection consists of a single layer of %-inch thick Bestwall Firestop or Johns-Manville Firetard Type "X" gypsum wallboard installed to completely encase the column. The wallboard is furred 1% inches from the column flanges by means of four No. 25 gauge channel-shaped galvanized steel studs having a depth of I % inches, a width of 1 % inches with 114-inch wide folded flanges. The channels are installed at each column flange with the 14-inch folded flanges in contact with the column flange. The %-inch Bestwall Firestop or Johns-Manville Firetard Type "X" gypsum wallboard is cut to size with over lapping comers and is connected with 1-inch long No. 6 drywall screws spaced 8 inches on center to each flange of each channel. No. 25 gauge metal cornerbeads with 14-inch wide perforated flanges are applied over each corner and are attached with 1-inch long No. 6 drywall screws spaced 24 inches on center. The screws have sufficient length so that they extend through the comerbead, wallboard and into the flanges of the channel-shaped furring studs. Two-hour Fire-resistive Column Protection: Tne two-hour fireresistive column protection consists of two layers of %-inch thick Bestwall Firestop or Johns-Manville Firetard Type "X" gypsum wallboard installed so as to completely encase the column. The channel shaped furring studs are identical to that described above for the one-hour fire-resistive construction. The first layer of wallboard is attached to each face of the furring channels with 1-inch long No. 6 drywall screws spaced 24 inches on center. The second layer of wallboard is cut to size and connected to each face of the fur ring studs with 1 %-inch long No. 6 drywall screws spaced 12 inches on center. The screws have sufficient length so that both layers of wallboard and the furring studs are penetrated. When both layers of wallboard are in position, No. 25 gauge cornerbeads with 1 % -inch wide perforated flanges are applied to each corner of the column and are connected to the wallboard with 6-penny nails spaced 12 inches on center. Three-hour Fire-resistive Column Protection: The three-hour fire-resistive column protection consists of three layers of %-inch thick Bestwall Firestop or Johns-Manville Firetard Type "X" gyp sum wallboard installed so as to completely encase the column. The first two layers of wallboard and furring studs are installed identically to that described above for the two-hour fire-resistive column protection. Prior to installation of the third layer of %-inch thick Type "X" gypsum wallboard No. 18 gauge galvanized double tie wires are installed so that they completely surround the column and are spaced a maximum of 24 inches on center. When the tie wires are in place, a third layer of gypsum wallboard is cut to size and is secured to the previously applied layers with 2%-inch long No. 8 drywall screws spaced 12 inches on center. Metal comerbeads are identical to those described above fastened with 6-penny nails spaced 12 inches on center through each flange. Four-hour Fire-resistive Column Protection. The four-hour fireresistive column protection consists of four layers of %-inch thick Bestwall Firestop or Johns-Manville Firetard Type "X" gypsum wallboard installed so as to completely encase the column. The first two layers of gypsum wallboard Tind metal furring channels are installed identically to that described for the three-hour fireresistive column. The third layer of %-inch Type "X" gypsum wallboard is attached to each flange of the four furring channels with 2%-inch long No. 8 drywall screws spaced 12 inches on center. The screws have sufficient length to penetrate the three layers of %-inch thick wallboard and the steel furring channels. Prior to installation of the fourth layer of %-inch thick Type "X" gypsum wallboard No. 18 gauge galvanized double tie wires are installed identically to that described above for the three-hour column protection. The fourth layer of wallboard is cut to size and held in position with metal cornerbeads identical to those described above and fastened through each flange of the cornerbeads with 6-penny nails spaced 12 inches on center. Identification: All wallboards aie identified with a light marking of the respective manufacturers consisting of the words "%-Inch Bestwall Type `X'" or "%-Inch Johns-Manville Firetard--Type X'." III. Points of Variance with the Uniform Building Code: The Uniform Building Code does not assign a fire-resistive time period to these types of column protection. IV. Evidence Submitted: Results of fire-endurance tests con ducted by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., are submitted. Recommendation V. Recommendation: That the fire-resistive column protection described in Part II of this report is a satisfactory alternate type of construction to that specified in the Uniform Building Code for the respective fire-resistive ratings. This recommendation is granted for a period of one year from date, at which time a request shall be made for re-examination in accordance with the Policy and Rules of Procedure of the Research Committee.

Tables No. h3-A, h3-B, and h3-C giving standard assemblies with fire resistance of 1 to h hours. This is the bible for such communities and is used as a reference on fire resistance by all who refer to the UBC* Attached hereto are excerpts from Table h3 pertaining to Gypsum Wallboard Assemblies, all of which cover Bestwall materials as well as those of other gypsum manufacturers, remember, Bestwall1s T/pe "Xn Board is Firestop* uiease notice that insofar as these ratings are concerned, they all call for a paper tape and cement for joint treatment for the fire resistive ratings. The Bestwall Gypsum Company has conducted tests at Underwriters' to prove specifically that the paper tape and cement was not necessary for the fire resistive rating and have reports and letters from the Underwriters' covering this feature* All aoprovals of Bestwall are being so requested and Underwriters1 Listing of Materials for 1961; have that notation* Use the new Table h3 in the 196I; Edition for proof of your assemblies in those communities where the Uniform Building Code is used. In taking advantage of the Gypsum Association's work, the Bestwall Gypsum Company has dropped Research Report #HJj5*6 as of April in 161; when it was due to be reviewed and reissued, making it current* Be sure that you understand and that any of your customers or Building officials' who are concerned, understand that the llh5 was dropped only because the assembly is now covered in Table Ah3 and hence is a part of the Code itself.

O. BOX 6345 ALBUQUERQUE. NEW MEXICO I. Introduction: At the request of Bestwall Gypsum Company, Paoli, Pennsylvania, the Research Committee of the Interna tional Conference of Building Officials has made a re-examination of the test data submitted in connection with the above gypsum wallboards and has noted that the Uniform Building Code does not fully provide for the use of this material. II. Description: General: The gypsum wallboards have a core of gypsum, incombustible fibers, and unexpanded vermiculite. The core is surfaced with paper. Boards are made forty-eight inches (48") wide and in six-foot (6') to sixteen-foot (16') lengths. Two-hour Fire-resistive Load-bearing Partitions: The partitions are constructed with two-inch by four-inch (2" x 4") stuas spaced sixteen inches (16") on center with two-inch by four-inch (2" x4") firestops installed at mid-height of the studs. The panels are covered on both sides with two layers of five-eighths-inch (96 " J gypsum wallboard applied vertically with the vertical joint between boards falling on the same stud for each layer. The first layer is attached to the studs with 6-pennv cement coated com mon nails at nine inches (9") on center along the stud, sill and plate. The second layer is applied directly over the first and nailed with 8-penny nails spaced seven inches (7") on center. Vertical joints on the opposite side of the partition are placed on the next adjacent stud. Taping of joints is not required. Two-hour Fire-resistive Incombustible Nonload-bearing Parti tions: The partition construction consists of Zee studs of No. 20 gauge electTogalvanized steel three and five-eighths inches (3% ") deep designated as Type Z-3 manufactured by Neslo Manufactur ing Corporation. The studs are spaced twenty-four inches (24") on center and are mounted in channel-shaped No. 18 gauge electrogalvanized floor and ceiling track sections three and five-eighths inches (3%") deep designated as the Neslo T-3 stud track. The tracks are attached to the floor or ceiling framing with approved fasteners spaced twenty-four inches (24") on center. Bestwall Firestop gypsum wallboard five-eighths inch (96") thick is at tached to each side of the studs with Neslo clips spaced twelve inches (12") on center at the vertical joints. No. 6 Philips head self-tapping screws one inch (1") long attach the board to Inter mediate studs and at the perimeter track sections with screws spaced twelve inches (12") on center at the intermediate studs and twenty-four inches (24") on center at the top and bottom of the panel. In addition, the screws are installed at thirty inches (30") on center along the vertical edges. A face layer of Bestwall Fire stop Eternawail (vinyl-faced) gypsum wallboard five-eighths inch (96") thick is then applied to-tne base layer with vertical joints offset eleven inches (TI'Tfrom those of the base layer. The face layer is laminated to the base layer by an air-drying liquid contact adhesive. No. 8 Philips head self-tapping screws one and one-half inches (196") long secure the face layer at eight inches (8") on center at the top and at twenty-four inches (24*) on center at the bottom of the partition on each face. The screws penetrate both layers of wallboard and fasten to the hack sections. The studs are not attached directly to the floor and ceiling tracks but are posi tioned in place by means of the wallboard attachment to the studs and tracks. Identification: All wallboards are identified with a light marking of the respective manufacturer consisting of the words "96" Bestwall-Type X" or "96" Johns-Manville Firetard-Type X" or "96" Firebloc" repeated down the center of each sheet and spaced approximately five feet (5') on center. III. Points of Variance with the Uniform Building Code: Table No. 43-B assigns no fire-resistance rating to this construction. IV. Evidence Submitted: Report of a fire test made at the Ohio State University Engineering Experimental Station is submitted. Recommendation V. Recommendation: That the tpes of construction described in Part II of this report are a satisfactory alternate types of con struction to that specified in the Uniform Building Code for a twohour fire-resistive rating. Further, that the gypsum wallboards have a Class I flame-spread rtting. This recommendation is granted for a period of one year from date, at which time a request shall be made for re-exumination in accordance with the Policy and Rules of Procedure of the Re search Committee.

Introduction: At the request of the Bestwall Gypsum Com pany, Ardmore, Pennsylvania, the Research Committee of the In ternational Conference of Building Officials has made a re-exami nation of the test data submitted in connection with the Nonbear ing Partition of Bestwall Firestop manufactured by the Bestwall Gypsum Company and sold through the Bestwall Certain-teed Sales Corporation, and of Firetard, manufactured by the Bestwall Gypsum Company and sold through the Johns-Manville Sales Corporation, and has noted that the Uniform Building Code does not take into consideration this type of construction. II. Description: General: The job-fabricated partition consists of two layers of five-eighths-inch (% ") thick Bestwall Firestop separated by a one-inch (1") air space. The four-foot (4') wide layers of wallboard are continuous from the bottom plate to the top plate. Vertical joints of opposing layers of wauboards are offset a distance of twenty-four inches (24"). The two layers of wallboard are interconnected at all vertical joints by means of sixinch (6") wide gypsum wallboard ribs one-inch (1"), one and one-fourth-inch (114"), one and five-eighths-inch (1 %") or one and three-fourths-inch (1 % ") thicknesses extending the full height of the partition where incombustible runners are used and between runners where wood runners are used. The ribs are laminated to the two layers of Bestwall Firestop with a casein type glue known as Bestwall Laminating Compound. In addition, No. 16 Phillips head screws, one and one-half inches (1%") long, are screwed at twenty inches (20") on center into the vertical joint and 6-penny finishing nails are driven at a 45-degree angle on one side ofthe vertical joint. The nails are spaced at eight inches (8") on center. In addition to the ribs located at vertical joints an intermediate vertical rib is provided approximately midway between other ribs, but not more than twenty-four inches (24") on center. The two layers of Bestwall Firestop are attached to this rib by means of a casein type glue known as Bestwall Laminating Compound and 6-penny finishing nails are driven at a 45-degree angle and spaced eight inches (8") on center. Joints may be left unfinished or finished with the Best-wall tape joint system. The gypsum board has a flame-spread classification of I when tested in accordance with U.B.C. Standard No. 42-1-64. Nonbearing Walls in Residential Buildings Having Clear Span Roof Truss Construction: The basic construction is similar to that specified for one-hour fire-resistive construction. The partition shall be installed as follows: 1. Not less than one-inch by one and five-eighths-inch (1" x 1%") net wood top and bottom plates shall be used with the partitions. The plates shall be nailed to the floor framing with not less than 16-penny nails spaced sixteen inches (16") on center and driven through predrilled holes. 2. Where spaced roof sheathing is used, the top plate shall be nailed to the exterior wall plate with not less than two 16penny nails or approved equal (no toenails). 3. A separation of not less than one-half inch (%") shall be provided between partitions and the lower chord of the trusses where the partitions run perpendicular to the span of the trusses. In lieu of the separation, truss web members may be placed from the lower chord (at point of contact with the partition) to an upper chord panel point. 4. Floor joists running parallel to and immediately below par titions located perpendicular to the truss span shall be dou bled where the separation required in item No. 3 above is not provided. 5. Framing at openings shall consist of not less than one-inch by three and five-eighths-inch (1" x 3%") net wood mem bers. The framing members shall be installed in a flat posi tion and extend from the bottom to the top plate. Identification: Each Bestwall gypsum wallboard panel is identi fied with a light ink marking consisting of the words Bestwall Firestop" which is repeated down the center of each sheet and spaced approximately five feet (5') on center. In addition each bundle consisting of two sheets has an end bundling tape which bears the label of Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. The Johns- Manville gypsum wallboard is identified by the words Type X" imprinted thereon. III. Points of Variance with the Uniform Building Code: The Uniform Building Code does not recognize this type of construc tion as having a fire-resistive rating. IV. Evidence Submitted: A fire test made by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., and conforming to Chapter 43 of the Uniform Building Code, is submitted. Results of the test indicate this type of construction qualifies for a one-hour fire-resistive rating. Recommendation V.

Introduction: At the request of Bestwall Gypsum Company, Paoli, Pennsylvania, the Research Committee of the International Conference of Building Officials has made a re-examination of the test data submitted in connection with the above gypsum wallboards and has noted that the Uniform Building Code does not fully provide for the use of this material. II. Description: General: The gypsum wallboards are % inch thick and contain a core composed of gypsum, incombustible fibers and unexpanded vermiculite. The core is surfaced with paper which may be gray on both sides or have a finished paper on one side and a gray paper on the back side. They are made in 4-foot widths and in 6-foot to 16-foot lengths. The %-inch wallboard is also supplied in 24-inch and 48-inch widths with tongue-andgroove edges. Joint treatment is not necessary for the fire-resistive ratings. One-hour Fire-resistive Load-bearing Partition: Studs are 3%inch deep Stran-Steel of No. i6 gauge material spaced 24 inches on center, attached to base and ceiling channels with sheet metal screws. After alignment, the studs are welded to the channels. The wallboard is attached to the studs with 6-penny cement-coated common nails spaced 7 inches on center. One-hour Fire-resistive Nonbearing Partition: Consists of chan nel-shaped steel studs 1% inches, 2% inches or 3% inches deep formed from light gauge steel .022 inch thick. The studs have flanges 1 % inches wide returned a distance of % inch parallel to the stud depth and % inch parallel to the flange widths. The studs are inserted into channel-shaped floor and ceiling tracks formed from material .025 inch thick and fastened to the supporting struc ture at 24-inch intervals. The %-inch thick wallboard is installed vertically without horizontal joints to each face of studs with ver tical joints staggered with respect to the two faces. The wallboard is attached to the studs with Donn W-616 1-inch long self-drilling sheet metal screws spaced 8 inches on center at the top and bot tom edges and vertical butt joints centered over studs and at 12 inches on center at intermediate studs. One-hour Fire-resistive Floor and Ceiling: The floor and ceiling construction consists of 2 inches of concrete on steel joists to which %-inch cold-rolled furring channels or approved nailing channels are attached with No. 18 gauge galvanized wire. Channels are doubled where butt joints occur. The %-inch thick wallboard is attached to the furring channels with No. 6 flathead sheet metal screws 8 inches on center or to the nailing channels with 1 %-inch annular nails spaced 6 inches on center. An alternate method of construction applicable only to the use of gypsum wallboard consists of steel joists spared 24 inches on center with a sand-gravel reinforced concrete slab 2 inches thick poured over a metal lath form supported on the joists. The metal lath form is an expanded ribbed metal lath % inch high weighing 3.4 pounds per square yard and attached to the joists at every other rib and at salvage overlaps with No. 18 gauge galvanized steel wire. Adjacent sheets of lath are overlapped at the side by nesting the outside salvage and are overlapped 3 inches at the ends. Inverted hat-shaped No. 25 gauge galvanized furring channels 7r inch deep and 2% inches wide are saddle tied to the bottom chord of the joists at 24-inch intervals by means of double strands of No. 18 gauge galvanized steel wire. Adjoining lengths of chan nels are lapped 30 inches and tied together with a double strand ot tie wire. Five-eighths-inch Type "X" Bestwall Gypsum Wallboard is attached to the furring channels by means of No. 6 Philips flathead self-tapping sheet metal screws 1 inch long spaced % inch from wallboard edges and 12 inches on center. The screws are driven Hush with the surface of the wallboard and the wallboard on each side of end joints is attached at the overlap of furring channels with one additional screw.

Introduction: At the request of the Gypsum Association, Hollywood, California, the Research Committee of the Interna tional Conference of Building Officials has made a study of the data submitted in connection with the use of Gypsum Wallboard as a backing material behind approved finish materials applied with water-resistant organic adhesives to shower and tub enclosure walls. II. Description: Full size sheets of gypsum wallboard having a minimum thickness of V2 inch are applied horizontally to supports and attached in the manner prescribed by the Code. Insulating foil surface wallboard shall not be used. For shower and tub enclosures, the tub or shower receptor or pan is positioned with respect to the studs so that projecting lips of the units are flush with the outside face of the wallboard. A 14 -inch clearance between the paperbound edge of the wallboard and the tub, receptor or pan must be maintained. All wallboard joints are taped and nail heads and joints are treated with two coats of joint compound. When ceramic tile is more than A inch thick, solid blocking is required between studs. One row of the blocking is located approximately I inch above the tub or receptor and an additional row at the mid-point between the tub and the sealer. Also, when the tile is more than fk inch thick, the nails for applying the gypsum wallboard shall be spaced a maximum of 4 inches on center. A waterproofing membrane is applied to the exposed face of the wallboard by either of the following methods: 1. With the flat edge of a trowel, a full ik-inch skim coat of tile adhesive is evenly applied to the entire surface receiving the tile. The adhesive is applied also to the bottom edge of the wallboard and to fill the cutout spaces around pipes, soap dishes, towel bars, etc. A setting time of 24 hours is required. Adhesives used as sealants under ceramic tile must conform to U. S. Department of Commerce Commercial Standard No. 181-52, "Water-Resistant Organic Adhesives for Installation of Clay Tile." After the skim coat has hardened so that t will not be grooved by the notches of the trowel, a bedding coat of the same adhesive is applied. The bedding coat extends down over the lip of the tub, receptor or pan to form a water dam behind the bottom edge of the tile. 2. A waterproofed sealer is used in lieu of the skim coat of the tile adhesive described above. Sealers shall be only those specifically made for the purpose, and compatible with the tile adhesive, such as certain rubber base sealants. The sealer is evenly applied in a heavy brush application. Permitted sealers are: Miracle Adhesive Corporation's Ceramic Tile Primer; Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company's CTA 50 Primer, or approved sealers of comparable quality. All edges of cutouts for pipes, soap dishes, towel bars, etc., must be sealed and then caulked with waterproof, nonhard ening caulking compound. After the sealer coat has dried thoroughly, the bedding adhesive is trowelled on to receive the tile. III. Points of Variance with the Uniform Building Code: Sec tion 1711 (a) of the Code requires that materials in shower and tub enclosure walls be of a type not adversely affected by moisture. IV. Evidence Submitted: A report is submitted by the Armour Research Foundation of the Illinois Institute of Technology reflect ing the investigation of performance of backing materials for ceramic tile. Recommendation V. Recommendation: That the application of gypsum wallboard in shower and bath areas as a backing material for approved nonabsorbent finishes is a satisfactory alternate method of con struction to that specified in the Uniform Building Code provided the installation is in accordance with the description in Part II of this report. This recommendation is granted for a period of one year from date, at which time a request shall be made for re-examination in accordance with the Policy and Rules of Procedure of the Re search Committee.
