Limitations: Product should be covered as soon as possible.
Inspect product to insure it is free of any protrusions or
damage which may detract from the weather-resistive
barrier integrity. Holes, tears or punctures should be sealed
with Moistop
®
Sealant or Fortifiber Sheathing Tape. This
product is not recommended for horizontal, roofing or below
grade applications.
Installation: Two-Ply Super Jumbo Tex 60 Minute should be
installed in accordance with the local applicable building code.
The International Residential Code, Section R703.2, states
that weather-resistive barriers should be applied horizontally,
with the upper layers overlapping the lower layer by a
minimum of 2" (3" is recommended), and all vertical joints
should be lapped a minimum of 6". To ensure the integrity of
the weather-resistive barrier system, Fortifiber strongly
recommends the use of a Two-Ply Jumbo Tex product or two
layers of a single ply Jumbo Tex product when used with a
three-coat stucco system. Do not tape horizontal or vertical
seams.
