Instructions / Assembly

The alkalinity or pH in a concrete slab must be tested by the current version of ASTM F710 for a glue-down installation. If pH

exceeds 12, consult Mohawk Group Technical Services at 800.833.6954

Ecoex AIR

The following applies to new pour concrete:

On or Below Grade:

An ASTM E-1745, Class B minimum vapor barrier must be in place and directly in contact with the concrete

• No pH or RH testing required when using Enpress Adhesive and the following –

• No Sign of visible moisture

• Slab is older than 30 days

Above Grade:

• No pH or RH testing required when using Enpress Adhesive and the following –

• No Sign of visible moisture

• Slab is older than 30 days

The following applies to renovation:

On or Below Grade:

An ASTM E-1745, Class B minimum vapor barrier must be in place and directly in contact with the concrete

• No pH or RH testing required when using Enpress Adhesive and the following –

• No Sign of visible moisture

Above Grade:

• No pH or RH testing required when using Enpress Adhesive and the following –

• No Sign of visible moisture

Hydrostatic Pressure

If the concrete slab is visibly wet, or experiencing hydrostatic pressure, the cause of the moisture should be properly

addressed prior to installation of oor covering. Consult Mohawk Group Technical Services at 800.833.6954

TEMPERATURE

The oor and room temperature must be acclimated by maintaining the temperature between 65°F and 85°F, and the humidity

between 30% and 65%, for at least 48 hours before and during installation. In addition, the carpet and adhesive should be

stored under these conditions for at least 24 hours before installation. The installation site must be acclimated with controlled

temperature and humidity.

When the installation is complete, the jobsite must be maintained at normal service temperature and humidity.
