B. Shop Drawings: Indicate joint and splice locations, miters, layout of the work, affected adjacent construction and anchorage locations.
C. Product Data: Provide joint assembly profiles, profile dimensions, anchorage devices, and
available colors and finish. 1.04 FIELD MEASUREMENTS
A. Verify that field measurements are as instructed by the manufacturer. PART 2 PRODUCTS 2.01 MANUFACTURERS
A. The specifications and drawings are based on MM Systems, Corp. , 4520 Elmdale Drive, Tucker, GA 30085. Phone: (404) 938-7570, 800-241-3460.
Products:
• Series FSS-Flushline Systems (width as required by joint width) or as applicable for specific floor to floor applications. Use FSSE-Flushline for floor to wall.
• Series FSA-Flushline Systems (width as required by joint width) or as applicable for specific wall to wall applications. Use FSAL for wall to wall at corners.
• Series ESS, “ColorJoint Silicone” (for required width) for wall-to-wall, wall-to-slab or wall-to-corner applications. This system is to be used when a simple field applied sealant joint will not work due to the width of the expansion joint exceeding the allowable sealant width.
