THE FORCE/2
Insulation Terms and Values
R-VALUE:
The resistance (R) to heat or cold. The higher the R Value, the
greater the resistance and the better the insulation factor.
SETTLEMENT:
All blown insulation will settle after installation. Your
FORCE/2 installs near settled density. Consult the chart on the material bag
for coverage and install accordingly.
COVERAGE
: Every bag of material comes with a coverage chart
detailing R-Value ratings. Average ratings for various materials are:
Cellulose:
R = 3.7 per inch
Rockwool:
R = 2.6 per inch
Fiberglass:
R = 2.2 per inch
CFM:
Blowers are measured by Cubic Feet per Minute. A low CFM blower
reduces “dust” when blowing insulation into an attic. The FORCE/2 features
the lowest CFM of all insulation blowing machines, minimizing the “dust”
problem. You’ll be able to see what you are doing.
PSI:
Blowers are also rated by Pounds of pressure per Square Inch. A high
PSI does a better job of blowing insulation. Your FORCE/2 produces 3.2-4.0
PSI which is the best for blowing insulation.
BRIDGING:
A pocket of air, or void, created by improper agitation in the
hopper. A “bridge” can stop production until cleared. Your FORCE/2 is
designed with a non-bridging hopper. However, you may experience a
temporary bridge while using your machine. Waiting a few seconds will most
likely clear a temporary bridge. If not, unplug your machine and redistribute
the material in the hopper.
VENTILATION:
Proper air flow requires one square foot of air
movement for every 150 square feet of attic area.
AIRLOCK SEAL:
Also known as flapper, rubbers, paddles.
