NOTE 1: The National Building Code 1995 does not permit the use of foamed plastic insulation when used for insulating an air duct. Foamed plastic insulation may be used in ceiling spaces that act as a return air plenum provided the insulation is protected from exposure to the plenum in accordance with NBC 1995, Subsection on Combustible Insulation and its Protection. The specifying authority is responsible for ensuring such protection is provided if applicable to a project, and specify accordingly in the project specifications.

NOTE 2: The National Building Code 1995 requires that in buildings of non-combustible construction, foamed plastic insulation classified as "combustible" insulation on piping located in horizontal or vertical service spaces or in rooms or spaces other then service spaces must be suitably protected from fire exposure and requires a covering with a flame spread of 25 or less in service spaces and a rating note more than that required for interior finish for the ceiling in rooms or spaces, other than service spaces. The specifying authority is responsible for ensuring such protection is provided, if applicable to a project, and specify accordingly in the project specifications. The use of foamed plastic insulation is also limited by NBC 1995 requirements for Smoke Developed Classifications. The specifier must determine such limitations for each project and specify accordingly. * Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Classification is based on 25mm thickness.

NOTE 3: The use of PVC jacket or fitting covers is limited by the 1995 National Building Code requirements for Smoke Developed Classification. The specifier must determine such limitations for each particular project and specify according.

NOTE 4: Materials shall be handled as recommended by the various manufacturers.
