Repair any punctures or <br />tears in the facing by taping. Follow <br />the tape manufacturer's <br />application recommendations. <br />Insulation installed too close to <br />light fixtures may affect the <br />luminaire's performance. Do not <br />install insulation on top of or <br />within 3" of recessed light fixtures <br />unless the fixtures are approved <br />for such use. This is a requirement <br />of the National Electrical Code. <br />Due to the potential for- sl<in <br />irritation, EcoTouch° Unfaced <br />Insulation should not be used for <br />exposed applications where it will <br />be subject to human contact. <br />Installation <br />Between Wood Studs/Rafters <br />EcoTouch° Insulation fits between <br />studs. If required, the flanges can <br />be stapled to either the face or <br />the side ofthe stud every 8-12" <br />to prevent gaping or <br />"fishmouthing" of the vapor <br />retarder. <br />1c� ` <br />� <.:- ,; .,:. � r <br />Figure� I) It is recommended to `'� <br />use a vent baffle to assure proper � a <br />dearance. �i <br />� � v EcoTouch° Unfaced insulation can <br />I I be friction-fit between studs after <br />I I the cover material has been <br />I I installed on one side of the cavity. <br />I I Metal Stud Use wire or metal straps to hold <br />� � Track insulation in place in applications <br />without a cover material, or <br />I I where the insulation does not fill <br />I I the depth of the cavity. <br />I I o�•�.'.�.. �.•` � <br />I � •, � ° � �_ � � .a � Cathedral ceiling products <br />•� � • --. � � (R30C and R38C) are intended <br />II ' • a';,� .

Insulation <br />should fill the cavity and the wall <br />should eventually be closed on <br />both sides. (See Figure 2) <br />In ar-eas where it will be applied <br />in heights over 8', use wire or <br />metal straps to hold the product <br />in place until the interior finish is <br />applied. When faced insulation is <br />used, the attachment flanges may <br />be taped to the face of the metal <br />stud prior to applying the interior <br />finish. Wire or metal straps <br />should also be used to hold the <br />product in place in applications <br />without a cover material or <br />where the stud depth is larger <br />than the irisulation thicl<ness. <br />Furring Strips <br />EcoTouch° Insulation can be <br />applied between furring strips, hat <br />channels, or Z shaped furring in <br />areas where a finish surface will <br />be installed. Contact the furring <br />strip manufacturer for <br />appropriate fastening system, <br />Caution: FIBERGLAST'" insulation <br />may cause temporary irritation <br />to the sl<in, eyes and respiratory <br />tract. Avoid contact with eyes <br />and sl<in, wear loose-fitting, <br />long-sleeved ciothing, gloves and <br />eye protection when handling <br />and appiying the material. Wash <br />with soap and warm water after <br />handling. Wash worl< clothes <br />separately and wipe out washer. <br />
