Notes:
• Horizontally attached across framing.
• Thermal Isolators (7) are included to allow ventilation; they are not necessary if the vertical framing extends ½” (min) past the insulation to create free-air vent space.
• The zee girt (8) is not painted.
• Insulation (9) must be mineral wool. Foam plastic insulation triggers NFPA-285 fire code which requires a tested assembly. The only other option is to acquire an AHJ approval. Receiving an AHJ approval is not guaranteed.
