SPECIFYING WITH TIAC MECHANICAL INSULATION
BEST PRACTICES GUIDE

Print 

The use of the TIAC Mechanical insulation best practices guide specification code numbers implies acceptance of the best practices covered by such numbers in the guidee and any required additions, deletions or modifications to these Mechanical insulation best practices must be clearly stated in the project specification by the specifier.

Where required to state the insulation type in the specification, only the material code number and generic term heading as listed in the Mechanical insulation best practices guide Manual need be stated. The Contractor will have the option to use any one of the approved products listed in the TIAC Mechanical insulation best practices guide under a particular insulation heading. If the specifier wishes to use one particular product from those listed in the Mechanical insulation best practices guide, then the product name must be stated in lieu of the generic insulation type.

It is recommended that the suggested examples be used with the generic insulation type only being stated, as all manufacturers products listed have been accepted by TIAC as suitable for the intended application, within the limits established in the Mechanical insulation best practices guide. This option applies also to all other listed products in the Mechanical insulation best practices guide and unless noted otherwise in the project specification, any one of the listed products for the intended application or finish may be used by the Contractor.
