Life Shield Engineered Systems LLC Installation
Procedure
2
STEP ONE Hole Configuration

• Take steel plate used for ceiling and floor
  fastening or plywood that is same size and use as
  template for marking holes for Hilti threaded
  sleeve inserts on ceilings and floor every 12 on
  center.

3
STEP TWO Drilling holes

• Drill all holes approx.
• 6 5/8 deep so that the Hilti threaded sleeve
  fits flush to substrate with DD 130 Hilti core
  drill with a 1 1/8 Core Diamond bit.

4
STEP TWO Drilling holes cont.

• Any holes not accessible with core drill, use TE
  46 Hilti hammer drill with 1 1/8 X 15 bit to
  complete the process.

5
STEP THREE Fit test holes

• Fit test all holes with bolts to be sure of right
  depth (flush to the substrate).
• If too shallow, drill to correct depth
• If too deep, put sand in to fill until sleeve is
  flush with surface.
• Clean all holes of debris and concrete dust. Make
  sure they are all dry before installing epoxy
  inserts and threaded sleeves.

6
STEP FOUR Installing epoxy sleeves

• Install all 7/8 Epoxy Hilti sleeves.

7
STEP FIVE Installing metal threaded sleeves

• Drive 5/8 X 6 5/8 Hilti metal threaded sleeves
  using TE46 Hilti hammer drill and the Hilti
  socket and shaft driver.
• One pack HVU Adhesive Capsule, set for 5 minutes
  at 500 or as specified on pkg. before removing
  setting tool

8
STEP SIX Recheck configuration

• After all anchors are installed, recheck all
  sleeves with steel plate or plywood template to
  be sure holes line up.
• If holes do not line up, use reaming tool on the
  steel plate to adjust holes for fit (cutting
  torch or die grinder)
• Never cut holes too big for metal square
  washers to completely cover.

9
STEP SEVEN Laying out panel

• Measure wall for exact length needed.
• Mark panel at the top and bottom
• Lay out panel with lines on each end for bending
  900 angle on each end (typically lay out and bend
  angle ½ ¾ short or as needed so panel will
  get a tight fit to wall with no bulges).

10
STEP EIGHT Bending polymer

• Use heating tray or heat gun to bend 900 angle.
• If using heating tray, heat for 1 minute then
  bend and hold until panel has cooled or 900 angle
  holds.

11
STEP EIGHT Bending polymer cont.

• If using heat gun to warm polymer, heat until
  whole width of panel is warm/softened then bend
  and hold until 900 angle holds.

12
STEP NINE Drilling holes in polymer sheet

• Use steel or plywood template to mark holes in
  polymer then drill with 1 1/8 hole saw drill bit.

13
STEP TEN Fastening polymer

• Hold panel flush to ceiling on wall.
• Place plate on polymer and fasten to ceiling with
  5/8 grade 8 bolts.
• Impact gun that will achieve 70 ft pnds
  torque and torque wrench are recommended.

14
STEP TEN cont.

• Check to be sure panel is square then tighten all
  bolts to 70 ft pounds of torque starting in
  center of plate working out.
• If you have wrinkles, loosen bolts nearest the
  bulge, push bulge out then retighten the bolt.

15
STEP TEN cont

• Move to floor repeating the same process. Make
  sure all edges are square and no bulges are in
  panel.

16
STEP ELEVEN Seam detail

• Once complete, tape center seam using specified
  seam tape being sure to have no wrinkles in tape.
• For finished wall system use specified seam
  feathering agent.

17
STEP TWELVE Finishing up

• Paint or wallpaper for desired results.
• It is the responsibility of panel installer to
  contact the coating manufacturer or wall covering
  manufacturer for surface preparation and
  installation guidelines).
