HANGER INSTRUCTIONS

Fast-R hangers have been developed to quickly hang blanket fiberglass wall insulation. They are precut
metal strips with barbed arrows punched into them every 8” on center. These special hangers are shipped in boxes
of 80 pieces, which will cover approximately 1000 sq. ft. with girts spaced 48”-96” apart.

(Narrow girt spaces, such as 24”, may not require hangers if insulation will support itself in cavity.)

Step 1: Start at one end of the wall area to be insulated. Remove a hanger from the box and pull the three barbed arrows perpendicular (90º) to the main body of the hanger. From the interior of the building, slide the top end of the hanger upward between the girt and the wall panel until the end protrudes above the girt lip approximately 1.5”. Bend this protruding end sharply inward around the girt lip to secure the hanger. Typically two hangers are placed per 60” or 72” insulation blanket width or 30” to 36” apart. Hangers positioned 15” or 18” from each side of the blanket, respectively, is ideal. If any part of the building structure does not allow the above process, simply fasten the hanger to the appropriate structure with a suitable fastener.

Step 2: Cut the insulation to fit exact length between girts. Shake insulation to aid in thickness recover y. Carefully lift
up the insulation blanket into position and impale it on the barbed arrows. Bend the arrow heads up to lock insulation in position starting at the top arrow and gently fluff insulation out to full unifor m thickness around the arrows.

EAVE LINE STRAP INSTALLATION

Step 3: If the eaveline strap was not installed with the roof straps, it should be now be fastened below the traverse
straps. Cut the eave line strap the width of the bay and install plumb with the inside plane of the girts.

Step 4: Position appropriate sized fabric on wall (see sketch provided with system for sizes). Factory seams should run vertically on wall fabric. Start positioning in either corner at rafter and roof intersection. Position fabric 3” over eave line strap and clamp. Proceed to opposite corner clamping the fabric in several points across the bay.

Step 5: Cut the number of wall straps required. Straps shall reach from roof to floor. Install wall straps by drilling self tapping screws through wall strap, eave line strap and fabric into the roof strap fastening them together. Also install a strap 6” away from the column.

Step 6: Adhere fabric to roof fabric along the eave line strap with Sticky Tape™. Fasten wall straps to roof and eave straps

Step 7: Pull fabric downward to remove wrinkles. Start in the center and adhere to base angle or 2x4 at floor with tape (tape will not work on wood). Trim off excess fabric (see figure below). Fasten wall straps at base then girts with self-drilling fasteners. Adhere fabric to column with Sticky Tape™ and trim off excess fabric. Fasten straps next to column at girts. Refer to installation sketches with these instructions.
