otherwise acceptable to Architect. Provide each joint cover assembly as complete unit, including fire and
moisture barriers, resilient inserts, anchors, and accessory items necessary for proper operation.
PART 2 PRODUCTS
2.1 MATERIALS
A. Aluminum:
1. Extrusions: ASTM B221-95a.
a. Alloy: 6061-T6 or 6063-T5.
2. Plate and Sheet: ASTM B209-95.
a. Plate Alloy: 6061-T6 or 6061-T651.
b. Sheet Alloy: 5052-H32.
3. Provide material with maximum amount of recycled content available that achieves performance
requirements of this Section,
4. Provide material with maximum amount of regional (within 500 miles) material feasible that
achieves performance requirements of this Section,
B. Resilient Fillers, Inserts, and Border Strips: Neoprene, Santoprene, or extruded polyvinyl chloride,
exhibiting Shore A hardness of 40 to 75 Durometer.
C. Fire Barrier: Manufacturer's standard type required for indicated fire resistance and fabricated of layers of
ceramic fiber insulation, metallic insulation or silica fiber fabric.
D. Flame Sealant: Manufacturer's intumescent sealant to remain resilient to permit joint movement and, upon
exposure to heat, resist penetration of fire through voids in construction.
E. Non-Shrink Grout: Pre-mixed compound consisting of non-metallic aggregate, cement, water reducing and
plasticizing additives.
1. Minimum Compressive Strength at 28 Days: 5000 PSI.
2. Acceptable Products:
a. Masterflow 713, Master Builders, Cleveland, OH.
b. Hi-Flow Grout, Euclid Chemical Co., Cleveland, OH.
c. Kemset Grout, Chem-Masters, Madison, OH.
d. 588 Grout, W.R. Meadows, Elgin, IL.
e. Sonogrout 10K, Sonneborn Building Products, Minneapolis, MN.
2.2 ACCESSORIES
A. Provide parts, devices, anchors, fasteners, spacers, flexible moisture barrier and filler, drain tubes, and other
accessories required for complete, watertight installations.
1. Bituminous Paint: SSPC Paint 12.
2. Galvanizing Repair Paint: SSPC Paint 20, Type II (Organic).
2.3 FABRICATION
A. Expansion Joint Cover Assemblies: Prior to fabrication, field measure actual existing conditions to ensure
proper fit.
1. Fabricate and provide anchors for installation in formed block-outs or recesses without need for castin-place
or pre-installed anchors.
2. Factory drill anchor holes in extrusions spaced 12 inch centers. Miter cut extrusions in field to
conform to directional changes. Ship extrusions in standard 10 foot or 20 foot lengths.
3. Provide in longest units in longest practical lengths to minimize quantity of intermediate joints and
field splicing.
4. Fabricate with mitered and welded corners where joint changes direction or abuts other materials.
5. Fabricate with end closures, transitions, tee-joints, corners, cross-connections, and other pieces to
provide continuous assembly.
B. Fire Rated Joint Covers: Provide with manufacturer's standard fire barrier and flame sealant to provide
required fire rating.
C. Shop-assemble components and package with anchors and fittings.
