Technical Evaluation Report(TER) 6. Installation: 6.1. Add up the total thickness of furring, rigid insulation and sheathing then select the appropriate length of HeadLOK fastener(see Table 1)that will attach these combined materials and provide a minimum 2" penetration into the wood framing. 6.2. Using a high torque ''/2" drill, drive the HeadLOK through the center of the furring strip and into the insulation and wall framing. 6.3. Fasteners should be aligned so that the point engages the center of the wall stud and at a minimum distance of 3"from the end of the stud or furring material. 6.4. Fasteners must be installed in a manner to avoid over-driving yet snug enough to remove any gaps between the layers of materials being fastened 6.5. Figure 1 a and lb provide example graphics of two types of furring installations as a guide. 7. Test and Engineering Substantiating Data: 7.1. National Design Specification for Wood Construction—2005 Edition, American Forest&Paper Association (NDS). 7.2. General Dowel Equations for Calculating Lateral Connection Values(1999), TR-12, American Forest& Paper Association. 7.3. Testing conducted for the Foam Sheathing Coalition, the Steel Framing Alliance and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority(NYSERDA)(Test Report). 7.4. Testing conducted for the Foam Sheathing Coalition by Progressive Engineering, Inc., Evaluation of Siding Attachment Methods Using Various Materials, Test Report#2010-128, dated 3/9/2010. 7.5. HeadLOK fastener design property calculations for HeadLOK Screws based on TR-12, NDS and NYSERDA reports, Crandell, 2010. 7.6. HeadLOK fastener performance from the FastenMaster Technical Bulletin for HeadLOK fasteners. 7.7. FastenMaster Installation instructions for HeadLOK fasteners. 7.8. Some information contained herein is the result of testing and/or data analysis by other sources, which DrJ relies on to be accurate as it undertakes its engineering analysis. 7.8.1. DrJ does not assume responsibility for the accuracy of data provided by testing facilities, but relies on each testing agency's accuracy and accepted engineering procedures, experience, and good technical judgment. 7.9. Where appropriate, DrJ relies on the derivation of design values, which have been codified into law through the codes and standards(e.g., IRC, WFCM, IBC, SDPWS, etc.), to undertake the review of test data that is comparative or shows equivalency to an intended end-use application. 7.9.1. DrJ does not assume responsibility for the accuracy of any code-adopted design values but relies upon their accuracy for engineering evaluation. 7.9.2. DrJ also relies on the fact that manufacturers of code-adopted products stand behind the legally established design values that have been created by the associations that publish code-defined design values for a given commodity product. 7.9.3. DrJ evaluates all equivalency testing and related analysis using this code-defined engineering foundation.
