29. Extent of Testing: Test completed and cured sealant joints as follows:
a. Perform 2 tests for each type of of joint length for each kind of sealant and joint
substrate.
30. Test Method: Test joint sealants according to Method A, Field-Applied Sealant Joint Hand
Pull Tab, in Appendix X1 in ASTM C 1193 or Method A, Tail Procedure, in ASTM C 1521.
a. For joints with dissimilar substrates, verify adhesion to each substrate separately;
extend cut along one side, verifying adhesion to opposite side. Repeat procedure
for opposite side.
31. Inspect tested joints and report on the following:
a. Whether sealants filled joint cavities and are free of voids.
b. Whether sealant dimensions and configurations comply with specified
requirements.
C. Whether sealants in joints connected to pulled-out portion failed to adhere to joint
substrates or tore cohesively. Include data on pull distance used to test each kind
of product and joint substrate. Compare these results to determine if adhesion
complies with sealant manufacturer's field-adhesion hand-pull test criteria.
32. Record test results in a field-adhesion-test log. Include dates when sealants were installed,
names of persons who installed sealants, test dates, test locations, whether joints were
primed, adhesion results and percent elongations, sealant material, sealant configuration,
and sealant dimensions.

installation tolerances and other conditions affecting performance of acoustical metal pan ceilings.
B. Prepare written report, endorsed by Installer, listing conditions detrimental to performance of the
Work.
C. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Measure each ceiling area and establish layout of acoustical metal pans to balance border widths
at opposite edges of each ceiling. Avoid using less-than-half-width pans at borders, and comply
with layout shown on reflected ceiling plans and coordination drawings.
3.3 INSTALLATION
A. General: Install acoustical metal pan ceiling assemblies to comply with ASTM C636/C636M and
manufacturer's written instructions.
B. Suspend ceiling hangers from building's structural members and as follows:
1. Install hangers plumb and free from contact with insulation or other objects within ceiling

2. Splay hangers only where required and, if permitted with fire-resistance-rated ceilings, to
miss obstructions; offset resulting horizontal forces by bracing, countersplaying, or other
equally effective means.
3. Where width of ducts and other construction within ceiling plenum produces hanger
spacings that interfere with location of hangers at spacings required to support standard
suspension-system members, install supplemental suspension members and hangers in
form of trapezes or equivalent devices.
4. Secure wire hangers to ceiling suspension members or carrying channels and to supports
above with a minimum of three tight turns. Connect hangers directly either to structures or
to inserts, eye screws, or other devices that are secure and appropriate for substrate and
that do not deteriorate or otherwise fail due to age, corrosion, or elevated temperatures.
5. Secure flat, angle, channel, and rod hangers to ceiling suspension members or carrying
channels and to structure, including intermediate framing members, by attaching to inserts,
eye screws, or other devices that are secure and appropriate for both structure to which
hangers are attached and the type of hanger involved. Install hangers in a manner that
does not cause them to deteriorate or fail due to age, corrosion, or elevated temperatures.
6. Do not support ceilings directly from permanent metal forms or floor deck. Fasten hangers
to cast-in-place hanger inserts, postinstalled mechanical or adhesive anchors, or power-
actuated fasteners that extend through forms into concrete.
7. When steel framing does not permit installation of hanger wires at spacing required, install
carrying channels or other supplemental support for attachment of hanger wires.
8. Do not attach hangers to steel deck tabs.

Remove and replace dented, bent, or kinked members.
F. Cut acoustical metal pan units for accurate fit at borders and at interruptions and penetrations by
other work through ceilings. Stiffen edges of cut units as required to eliminate evidence of buckling
or variations in flatness exceeding referenced standards for stretcher-leveled metal sheet. Cut and
treat edges to comply with manufacturer's written instructions.
G. Install acoustical metal pans in coordination with suspension system and exposed moldings and
trim. Comply with manufacturer's installation tolerances.
1. For lay-in, square-edge pans, install pans with edges fully hidden from view by flanges of
suspension-system runners and moldings.
2. For lay-in, reveal-edge pans on suspension-system runners, install pans with bottom of
reveal in firm contact with top surface of runner flanges.
3. For lay-in, reveal-edge pans on suspension-system members with box-shaped flanges,
install pans with reveal surfaces in firm contact with suspension-system surfaces and panel
faces flush with bottom face of runners.
4. For clip-in pans, position pans according to manufacturer's written instructions.
5. For snap-in pans, fit adjoining units to form flush, tight joints.
6. Align joints in adjacent courses to form uniform, straight joints parallel to room axis in both
directions unless otherwise indicated.
