SECTION 10615 DEMOUNTABLE/MOVABLE PARTITIONS PART 1 - GENERAL DEFINITION The movable wall system shall offer maximum flexibility and reusability to accommodate frequent and quick relocation work without loss of materials, damage or modification to panels or to adjoining structures such as ceilings, fixed walls and floors. The system must be unitized, non-progressive and modular, allowing the removal of individual panels from any location without disturbing adjoining units and providing interchangeability of panels and door units on the same module. The system can offer a single center reveal design with optional concealed slotting for wall-hung furniture components or a flush connector finished to match the panel to provide a monolithic aesthetic. The head detail is either recessed or flush. The base assembly with an integrated leveling system shall be permanently attached to the panel. Detached and loosely shipped floor tracks and leveling components shall not be permitted. The solid panels shall be available in a choice of finishes to include powder coated steel, vinyl-covered steel or fabric-covered steel. Panels are stackable to accommodate ceiling height changes and panel type changes (i.e., solid/glass). Panel shells shall be removable and interchangeable in the field without dismantling as complete units. PRODUCT PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Adjustability: An adjustable, u-channel head assembly shall provide a ± 1/2" adjustment at the ceiling. At the floor, a self-contained leveling glide system and a flush 4"-, or 5"-high base cover shall allow for an adjustment of ± 1" for a 4” base and ± 1 ½” for a 5” base. Combined, this shall provide an overall vertical adjustment of ± 1 1/2" for 4” and ± 2” for 5” to compensate for ceiling and floor irregularities. Where the wall system meets the building core walls, columns or window mullions, a telescopic, spring-loaded wall post or channel shall allow for a ±1" horizontal adjustment. Sound Control: Solid panels shall provide an overall sound transmission class of not less than 44-48 STC rating in accordance with ASTM E-90-87 (ASTM E412-73). Fire Retardancy: No flammable materials shall be used in the manufacture of the wall system. Provide independent laboratory tests for surface-burning characteristics of panel finishes in accordance with ASTM E-84. Flame Spread: Class A for powder coat finish and steel. Structural Performance: Provide certification that the wall system panels meet the load-bearing capacity standards for hanging components of 7 pounds per linear inch when tested in accordance with BIFMA/ANSI x 5.6-1986, Section 5. Passed. Provide independent laboratory data to certify that the wall system panels pass the uniform transverse load (lateral deflection) test of not exceeding deflection of 1/240 of the overall span under a load of 5 pounds per square foot, in accordance with ASTM E-72-80. Electrical & Communications: Typically, power/communications cables and components shall be provided and field-installed (hardwired) by the electrical contractor. Wiring access shall be through or around the ceiling channel, and distribution shall run vertically or horizontally anywhere within the panel, from panel to panel or through the base and ceiling wire ways. Electrical outlets shall be located flush in the base or in the panel shell. Factory installed Option #1: Based on local codes and ordinances, a modular pre-wired system may be specified, in which case, the base cover is 5" high to provide sufficient floor adjustment. Option: Based on local codes and ordinances, a pre-wired 10-wire system (6-2-2) may be specified, in which case, the base cover is 5” high to provide sufficient floor adjustment. Final hardwiring by others. Factory installed Option #2: Electrical box(es), cutout(s) and ½” flexible conduit pre-installed in the factory in the panel shell. Final hardwiring and other components by others. PART 2 - PRODUCTS PRODUCT DETAILS Ceiling Channels: 18-gauge steel with closed cell light and sound seal gasket, factory-applied to the channels. T-bar clips or other suitable fastening devices shall be used to connect the channel to the ceiling grid, subject to owner's approval. Ceiling channels are either recessed or flush. All voids shall be insulated with fiberglass. Solid Panels: 3 1/2" thick and consisting of an aluminum extruded frame construction, two panel shell assemblies each composed of one sheet of 22-gauge steel glued to vertical/horizontal stiffeners and intermediate horizontal stiffeners, non-toxic fiberglass insulation, and the base assembly. Top of panel engages the ceiling channel. Aluminum frames (including glass panels) as a standard will have cavities on each side to accommodate cabling. Field notching the horizontal frame members will also allow easy cable access from the ceiling or the floor. As an option, solid panel vertical frame posts can be slotted for hang-on furniture and the slots concealed by a dual durometer PVC gasket which is 1" wide and recessed from panel face or by a flush-to-panel face connector.
