See UL Classification Certificate A184. 3 DC14 Drainage Mat was evaluated in accordance with the ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria for Foam Plastic Sheathing Panels Used as Water-Resistive Barriers (AC71). The product was installed over wood sheathing as an alternative to building paper or housewrap. All horizontal and vertical seams were sealed with GreenGuard ® Contractor Tape and the interface between the window frame and the DC14 was sealed using GreenGuard ® Self-Adhering Flashing. All other wall penetrations were sealed using either spray foam, caulk, adhesive tape or self-adhering flashing membrane. Refer to ICC-ES Evaluation Report No. ESR-2136 for details regarding the use of other GreenGuard Fanfold Underlayments as water-resistive barriers. 4 These dimensions apply to each fanfolded bundle | ASTM E 84/UL 723 | 25250 |
