Note: IVY573 is intended for walls, and
it is not applicable to any ceilings.
Note: IVY573 is applicable for heights of up to 30 ft (9.1 m). |
| 2.
Selecting the wall material to which IVY573 is applied. |
IVY573 is only applicable to
the surfaces of noncombustible materials.
Allowable furring includes dry wall, mortar, or concrete.
IVY573 is not applicable to irregular surfaces, such as those
containing projected anchors.
Note: In any case, when proper flat surfaces are not available due
to very serious irregularities, mortar finishing or installation
of an under layer panel is required.
Note: IVY573 is not applicable to any wall surface made of
plywood, PVC sheets, or other combustible materials.
In cases in which the application of IVY573 to these combustible
materials is unavoidable, remember to mount proper incombustible
boards, 12 mm or greater in thickness onto the combustible wall materials,
to which IVY573 is then applied. |
| Note: Remember that the FM4882 Approval
becomes void if IVY573 is applied directly to any combustible wall
surfaces. |
| 3.
Checking the conditions of the wall material to which IVY573
is applied. |
Check to confirm that the wall material
surface fulfills the requirements listed below.
- Free of any floating or separation
- Free of any irregularities
- Free of any contamination
- Free of any adherence of dust particles
- Free of any adherence of fur
- In a dry condition
|
Note: In cases where chalking is observed
on mortar surfaces, treat the surfaces with primer.
Make sure that furring surfaces are smooth and that joints are smooth-finished
and dry.
Do not attempt to proceed with construction while furring surfaces
remain wet or moist. |
| Note: For any uneven surfaces,
remove any irregularities that can cause floating edges for IVY573,
leading to poor weld and/or defective appearance. |
Determine the size of the wall surface
to be constructed, measure the cutout portions for receptacles and
other parts, and scribe cutting lines correctly on IVY573.
Cut IVY573 with a circular saw, band saw, shearing, jigsaw,
or other proper tools, to the correct dimensions.
After cutting, check the profile of IVY573 , and the scribed
lines against the construction surface for proper fit. |
 Plane
off all joint edges of IVY573.
Note: Take measurements with great care to prevent any large clearance
between adjacent panels, which can cause poor welding. |
| Note: For any large clearance
between wall panels, fill the clearance with several welding rods
and then remove any excess welding. |
| Installation
Part 1 - Pasting double-sided adhesive tape. |
 Attach Takitape #47 onto the back of
IVY573.
Use 66 ft (20 m) long, double-sided adhesive tape for each 4'x8'
panel.
Attach the tape at equally spaced at intervals of 400 mm, starting
from a position 5 mm to 10 mm away from one panel edge to a position
5 mm to 10 mm from the other panel edge (Photo 1).
After attaching the tape, immediately remove the tape's protective
paper.
Note: Take care to keep the tape away from dust and particles, to
eliminate the possibility of separation failure.
Do not overlap tape when attaching it to the panel. |
| Installation
Part 2 - Applying the adhesive |
 Remember
to use the specified adhesive Takibond #47.
Apply the adhesive evenly at a thickness of roughly 3 mm, along both
sides of each double-sided adhesive tape and between the double-sided
adhesive tapes on the backs of wall panels.
Use 11FLOZ (330ml x 2 Cartridge ) of adhesive for each 4'x8' panel.
Use the adhesive with care, to attain a nearly evenly applied volume
per unit area
(guideline: 0.5FLOZ/ft2 (180ml/m2)) |
| Installation
Part 3 - Fitting the IVY573. |
 Take
the wall panels with double-sided adhesive tape already attached,
and push slowly, taking care to prevent separating or overlapping
the panels.
Note: Start the mounting from the reference surface side, taking
care to ensure proper alignment to the reference surface.
Note: Remember that the mounting work is a one-shot affair. Once
mounted, wall panels cannot be pulled off. |
| Installation
Part 4 - Welding |
 For
welding, remember to use the PVC welding rod 6171. Before
welding, remove the protective film from the parts to be welded.
When the LEISTER HOT JET S welder is used, select an airflow setting
of 4 (maximum), heater setting of 4 as a guideline, and welder compression
of 1 to 2 kgf (2 to 4 lb).
Note: Fix the welding rod into position
while sliding it into the welding gun in the beginning before welding
entirely.
Note: Prior welding practice of welding rods with left over plates
will help to attain successful results. |
| Before the welded joints
cool and solidify, remove any excess welding with a knife or other
proper tools with cutting edges. |
| 6.
Completion of construction |
| Remove all masking films, to complete
the construction work. |
| Note: Wipe any contaminated panel surfaces
with waste rugs dampened with an alcohol-based cleaner (IPA is recommended),
without strongly scrubbing the surfaces. |
