Installation Guide
Applications:
- I Joists 16" ASTRO-TAB between bottom caps 17" ASTRO-TAB between
the webs.
- Solid Lumber Joists 16" ASTRO-TAB.
- Truss Joists 17" ASTRO-TAB between bottom flanges or cut to fit.
When insulating above crawl space or an unfinished basement, ASTRO-FOIL can
be stapled along or across the bottom face of the floor
joists. 48" or 72" wide material is preferred for that application. Use 2" wide
ASTRO-FOIL tape at all seams to create a vapor barrier.
Meets FHC 10/25 (ASTM E84-95) (Class 1, Class 2)
Behind Stacks
- Use 16" wide ASTRO-TAB to fit between wall studs on 16" centers.
- Push ASTRO-TAB against the sheathing and staple through the tabs
every 18" to 24".
- Install stack over the ASTRO-TAB. For maximum thermal performance
leave a 3/4" air space between the stack and the ASTRO-TAB.
Return Air Panning Systems
- Use 16" wide ASTRO-TAB when floor joists are on 16" centers and
24" ASTRO-TAB for joists on 24" centers. For double panning adjacent cavities
use 34" wide ASTRO-TAB. Cut tabs same distance from the end of the ASTRO-TAB as
the depth of the joist.
- Slide ASTRO-TAB up between floor joists and staple to the rim joist
below the register opening. If run begins away from the rim joist, bend a 1" strip
along the beginning edge of the ASTRO-TAB and staple to sub floor. Staple the
tabs to the floor joists.
- Bring the ASTRO-TAB up with the tabs over the bottom face of the
floor joists. Staple every 2" - 3". If preferred, the tabs can be bent down and
the ASTRO-TAB slid up 3/4" between the floor joists. Staple every 2" - 3" to the
bottom inside of the joists.
