BOX 220 MANSFIELD, PA 16933 EVALUATION SCOPE Compliance with the following code: BOCA° National Building Code/1999 • Section 1603.1 General • Section 1708.1 Where required • Section 1710.3.1 Test procedure • Section 2305.7 Wind bracing • Section 1404.2 Durability • Section 2603.2 Labeling • Section 2603.3 Surface burning characteristics • Section 2313.2 Sandwich panels • Section 1704.3 Labeling DESCRIPTION The Murus Panel is a composite panel used for exterior wall and roof applications. The Murus Panel, when used as an exterior wall panel, is used either as a curtain wall panel, which resists transverse loads only, or an exterior wall panel, which resists axial and transverse loads. The composite panel is 41/2 inches thick, 4 feet wide and is available in various lengths. See Figure 1 of this report for a diagram of the Murus Panel. • Table 1 of this report contains allowable transverse loads and spans for the Murus Panel. • Table 2 of this report contains allowable loads and spans for Murus Panels subjected to uniform tranverse and concentric axial loads. • Table 3 of this report contains allowable loads and spans for Murus Panels subjected to uniform tranverse and axial loads with an eccentricity of 3/4 in. • Table 4 of this report contains the allowable horizontal racking load of the Murus Panel, with and without openings. • Panel Components • Core: The foam plastic core consists of one of two available foam plastic systems which are as follows: Flexible Products CIP 1416-HC#2 and Flexible Products PPG 442-22D. The Flexible Products CIP 1416-HC#2 core is made up of a rigid urethane foam which consists of an isocyanurate and polyol catalyst blend. The Flexible Products PPG 442-22D core is made up of a rigid ure- thane foam which consists of an isocyanurate and a resin component blend. The foam plastic cores have a density of 2.2 pounds per cubic feet. • Exterior skins: Each face of the Murus Panel consists of 7/16 -inch exterior grade, Exposure 1, Oriented Strand Board (OSB) complying with the United States Department of Commerce PS 2-95 (DOC PS 2-95). • Joinery: The Murus Panel has a tongue -and -groove edge. The connection between the panels is made with a cam lock system, which consists of two parts, as shown in Figure 2 of this report. The cam lock is located along the vertical edge of the Murus Panel at 2 -foot intervals, beginning 1 foot from the top or bottom of the panel. Two Murus panels are secured together by aligning two Murus Panels with cam locks next to each other, with spray foam applied to the tongue (or groove) of one panel, and rotating the cam turning gear in the cam lock with a hex head wrench. After the connection is completed, spray foam is applied in the exterior channel between the two panel skins. The excess foam is removed prior to the application of the exterior wall covering. CONDITIONS OF USE This report is limited to the applications and products as stated in this report. The ICC -ES Subcommittee on National Codes intends that the report be used by the code official to determine that the report subject complies with the code requirements specifically addressed, provided that this product is installed in accordance with the following conditions: • Murus Panels shall be installed in accordance with this report and the manufacturer's instructions. Where the manufac- turer's installation instructions differ from this report, this report shall be null and void. • Murus Panels shall be limited to use as an exterior wall or roof panel in Type 5 construction. • The use of Murus Panels in fireresistance rated wall or roof assemblies is beyond the scope of this report. ICC -ES legacy reports are not to be construed as representing aesthetics or any other attributes not specifically addressed, nor are they to be construed as an endorsement of the subject of the report or a recommendation for its use.

Copyright © 2003 Page 1 of 9 Page 2 of 9 97-36 • The design loads on the system shall not exceed those given in Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this report. Design values are for normal duration under dry use conditions and temperatures less than 160°F. • Openings in the Murus Panels shall be limited to the sizes given in Figures 6 and 7 of this report. Openings larger than those shown in Figures 6 and 7 are beyond the scope of this report. • The routing of chaseways into the Murus Panel wall for electrical, plumbing, HVAC or other purposes is beyond the scope of this report. • A top in -let plate, as shown in Figure 3 of this report, shall be provided along the top edge of all Murus wall panels. The top in -let plate shall be installed in such a manner as to be continuous through the vertical panel joints. The top in -let plate shall consist of 2 -inch by 4 -inch dimension lumber. The plate shall be located in a 1 1/2 -inch -deep routed channel at the top of the panel with spray foam applied between the foam core and the in -let plate. The OSB faces of the Murus Panel shall be secured to the top plate with 8d nails at 4 inches on center. The fasteners on the OSB faces shall be staggered from each other. • A bottom in -let plate, as shown in Figure 4 of this report, shall be provided along the bottom edge of all Murus wall panels. The bottom in -let plate shall consist of 2 -inch by 4 - inch dimension lumber.

The in -let plate is to be fastened securely to the supporting structuro as required by the approved construction documents. The void in the Murus Panel is sprayed with foam, as described above, prior to placing the panel over the in -let plate. The Murus Panel is then secured to the in -let plate on both faces with 8d nails at 4 inches on center. The fasteners on the OSB faces shall be staggered from each other. • Openings in the Murus Panels for door and windows shall be rough framed with 2 -inch by 4 -inch dimension lumber embedded into the foam core of the panel in the same manner as the top and bottom in -let plates, The lumber framing shall be provided on all sides of the opening, as shown in Figure 5 of this report, and shall be secured to the OSB faces of the panel on both sides with 6d nails at 8 inches on center, staggered. • The manufacturer shall provide the user of this report with instructions for the erection of Murus Panels. These instruc- tions shall include, but not be limited to, details of panel to panel and panel to other building components interfaces. • This report is subject to periodic re-examination.
