Design Number: B1038-WP6WC-60min-1100lbs/ft

Assembly Rating: 1 Hour Wall Assembly

Load Bearing at 1100 lbs per lineal foot

Room Side Fire Exposure

Load bearing wall assembly using Modus WP6-WC structurally insulated panels manufactured from:

1. 26 gauge steel skin

2. Expanded polystyrene (EPS), Type 1, 6 in. thick

3. 18 gauge steel hat channel

4. Air space

Assembly requirements:

5. Two layers of Type X gypsum wallboard applied to the fire side. One layer of 5/8 in. type X gypsum wallboard installed vertically with joints staggered 24 in. from panel joints. Second (outer) layer composed of 1/2 in. Type X gypsum wallboard installed vertically with panel joints staggered 12 in. from base layer gypsum joints. Each layer fastened with drywall screws located 16 in. on centre vertically and 16 in. on center horizontally. Wallboard joints taped and filled.

Connection of panels (not shown):

Panel joints are connected using eleven screws, located 12 in. on centers in each joint, on each side of the wall. Panel joints are caulked with 3M CP25 WB+ on each side of the wall as an air seal in the joint. The panel is oriented with the steel hat channel side towards the fire.

Design Number: B1038-FP9516OC-60min-30psf

Assembly Rating: 1 Hour Floor Assembly

Load Bearing 30 psf

Fire resistance rating applies to room interior side only

Load bearing floor assembly using Modus FP95-16OC structurally insulated panels manufactured from:

1. 26 gauge steel skin

2. Expandable polystyrene (EPS), Type 1, 11-7/8 in. thick

3. Wood I-Joists, 11-7/8 in. height, spaced 16 in. on center

Assembly requirements:

4. Two layers of 1/2" Type C gypsum wallboard on the room side. The wallboard is oriented perpendicular to the wood I-joists, with seams staggered 12” between layers. Both layers of gypsum wallboard are mechanically fastened to the internal I-joists using 1-5/8” long coarse thread drywall screws spaced 8” on center at joints and 12” on center in the field. All exposed joints are covered with joint tape and 2 coats of joint compound; all exposed screw heads are covered with two layers of joint compound.

5. 2” thick expanded polystyrene foam layer is adhered to the Modus panel surface using a two part adhesive (Weather-Tite^® One Step Foamable Adhesive, WTT Systems), with continuous beads 6” apart.
6. 1/4” sheets of Densdeck black and white exterior gypsum substrate adhered to the exposed expanded polystyrene surface using a 2 part adhesive (Weather-Tite^® One Step Foamable Adhesive, WTT Systems), with continuous beads 6” apart.

Connection of panels (not shown):

Panels are joined using tongue and groove connections with a continuous bead of air sealant applied to the female groove. 2” x 2” x 3/4" galvanized steel angle is fastened to the panel ends to provide a means for attaching rim board. The angle is fastened to the steel panel skin using #6 x 1/2” wafferhead TEK point screws, nominally 8” on center. Two layers of 3/4" thick rim board are fastened through the galvanized angle. The first layer was attached using #10 x 2” wood screws placed 12” on center. Two beads of PL400 panel adhesive are applied to the face of the rim board. The second layer of rim board is fastened to the first using #10 x 2” wood screws spaced 12” on center. The other edges of the assembly receive two layers of rim board, installed identically as the other ends except the base layer is attached to the top and bottom chord of the embedded joists using #10 x 3” wood screws.

installed identically as the other ends except the base layer is attached to the top and bottom chord of the embedded joists using #10 x 3” wood screws.

Note:

Refer to QAI evaluation report B1038-1 and the applicable test reports for test assembly configurations used for fire endurance testing.
