2 Why most systems require a back/reinforcement memb. A back reinforcement memb can be a galvanized 2 gauge steel angle, T-Bar or hat channel. This memb is installed behind the curtain wall insulation at the safe-off line as a means of keeping the curtain wall insulation from bowing due the 25-5% compression fit of the SafingTM Insulation, depending on the listed design. See Figure 1 which shows the location of the back/reinforcement memb. Typically, without this memb, the force from installing the Safing Insulation und high compression causes the curtain wall insulation bow. Since the Safing Insulation can not follow the plane of the bowed curtain wall insulation, small gaps form. In the event of a fire, these small gaps will allow flame hot gases Back/Reinforcement spread vtically the next floor. Memb What are the advantages of a No Back Bar System? Systems that include a back/reinforcement memb require mechanical attachment the vtical mullions. Many curtain wall manufacturs want minimize penetrations in the aluminum mullions with mechanical fastens. The No Back Bar System eliminates the need make holes in the aluminum framing for a back/reinforcement memb. By not having install a back/reinforcement memb, the No Back Bar System significantly reduces installation time labor costs. This system increases the R-Value of the assembly by requiring a minimum of 3 thick FireSpan 9 insulation, allows the space do so since the no back bar is present. Often curtain wall mounting anchors are in locations that make it impossible proply install a back/reinforcement memb. Eliminating the need for a back bar simplifies the installation. A metal panel system, also known as back pan design, requires that the back/reinforcement memb be mechanically attached the back pan. Since the back pan is typically used provide a vapor barri, penetrating the panel with fastens for the reinforcement memb, may compromise the continuity of the vapor barri. The No Back Bar System eliminates the need mechanically attach the metal backpan. Figure 1 No Back Bar Installation (cont.) Step 2- The next step is install the Insulation. The is a FSP faced insulation 12 wide by 2 thick with the 6 wide section cut down 1 thick. See Figure 3. The is installed in conjunction with the Safing Insulation. Rest the Safing on the 1 ledge of the. The Safing Insulation is be put in und a minimum 25% compression with the fibs in the vtical direction installed at a depth of 4. Compress the Safing Insulation so that it can be installed in the safe-off opening. The will run continuously ov the FireSpan 9 Insulation the vtical mullions at the floor level so that the 1 thick portion extends 2 above the p surface of the floor with the vtical seams abutted tightly geth. Vtical seams in the must be stagged with the vtical seams in the Safing Insulation. The p section of the is secured the FireSpan 9 Insulation with spiral anchors installed at a 45 angle through the Safing Insulation evy 12 oc. See Figure 3. The low section of the is secured the FireSpan 9 with spiral anchors installed at a 9 angle evy 16 oc. See Figures 3 4. Back/reinforcement membs used with transparent sprel glass are not aesthetically appealing. The metal channels can be seen through the glass. Using the No Back Bar system eliminates the need for unsightly metal membs. Many times back/reinforcement membs are improply installed. The use of the no back bar system eliminates potential installation rors. Thmafib offs a system that does not incorporate a back/reinforcement memb. How is the No Back Bar System installed? Thmafib has developed a 2 3 hour, UL Pimet Fire Containment design that eliminates the need for installing a back/reinforcement memb(cw-d-112 CW-D-113). This system incorporates a, minal wool insulation shelf, in combination with spiral anchors provide support the Safing Insulation prevent the curtain wall insulation from bowing. See Figure 2. Step 1- Mechanically install a minimum 3 thick FireSpan 9 Insulation with Thmafib Impasse Hangs in the sprel framing opening so that the insulation is flush with intior face of the aluminum framing. Horizontal hangs are installed 6 in from each mullion then spaced a maximum of 16 oc. Vtical hangs are installed 6 down from the p of the insulation panel 6 from the botm of the insulation panel. Mechanically attach sprel insulation.

Mullion Covs are be notched step ov the matial abut the p of the Safing Insulation. Mullion Covs below the floor will abut the botm of the matial. See Figure 5.
