c. If 20% of points observed do not comply, remove and replace all lined ducts and repeat tests. Where replacement is not required, correct all non-compliances.
d. At end of observatio n, repair all du ct lining and ob servation holes by installi ng standard, insulated, hinged access doors per Section 15910.
e. Paint or finish to match adjacent duct surfaces.
2. Impale on spindle anchors welded or mechanically fastened to the duct. Adhesive or glue fastened anchors are not acceptable. Maximum anchor spacing per SMACNA Duct Construction Standards or manufa cturer's recommendations, whichever is more restrictive. Locate pins less than 3" from corners and at intervals not over 6" around the perimeter at leading and trailing edges. Locate pins within 3" of transve rse joints and at intervals not over 16" long the length of the duct. Pins mu st be long en ough to prevent compressing the insulation.
3. In addition to anchors, secure liner with UL listed adhesive covering over 90% of the duct surface.
4. Install per the latest edition of the SMACNA Manual.
5. Leading edges shall be covered as follows:

If adhesive i s shop installed, field apply additional adhesive to the end of each duct section for complete adhesion of the liner. Protect edges from dirt and debris.
b. For duct velocities above 3000 fpm, cover leading edges with metal nosing. Use nosing on upstream edges of each section of duct. If the duct can be installed in either direction, provide n osing on ea ch end o r clearly mark the duct to allo w visual verification after installation. Verify duct velocities based on the scheduled air flow rates and determine where metal nosing is required.
c. Install metal nosing in the following locations (regardless of velocity):
1) The first three fittings downstream of all fans. 2) At all duct lin er interruptions. This includes fire dampers, access doors,
branch connections, and all other locations where the edge of the liner is exposed.
3) Trailing edges of transverse joints do not require metal nosings.
6. Overlap liner at longitudinal joints. Make longitudinal joints at corners of the duct unless the duct size does not allow this. Coat longitudinal joints with adhesive at velocities over 2500 fpm.
7. Seal all dam aged duct liner with a dhesive and gl ass cloth. Do not damag e duct liner surface coatings.
8. Duct dimensions given are net in side dimensions. Increase sheet metal to allow for insulation thickness.
