MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTION
A. To be Hufcor Series as manufactured by Hufcor Inc.
1. Panels will be nominally 3" thick in manufacturer’s standard
widths. Panel skins shall be of Class "A" rated material
laminated to appropriate structural and acoustical backing, mounted in
full perimeter protective steel frames. Top channel assembly shall be
reinforced to support the suspension components.
2. Frames shall fully enclose and protect all edges of the surface
material.
3. Vertical sound seals between panels shall be tongue and groove
configuration consisting of steel astragals incorporating vinyl acoustical
seals.
4. Horizontal top seals shall be of twin-finger continuous contact type.
Mechanical bottom seals are made from formed steel, incorporating 1/4"
vinyl strips for proper acoustical seal upon activating. (Optional:
Horizontal top and bottom seals shall be of formed steel.)
5. Hinges on panels (paired & train models) are recessed and project
no more than 1/4" beyond panel faces.
6. Footbolts and stabilizers are internal and edge activated. No
protruding footbolts attached to panel faces are allowed.
7. Weight of the panel is lbs.
per square foot.
B. Suspension system will consist of anodized architectural grade, heavy
duty extruded aluminum track connected to the structural support by a
minimum of 3/8" threaded rods. Track shall have integral support for
adjoining ceiling, soffit, or plenum sound barrier. No guide rail or track
sweep seals permitted.
Pairs & Trains: Each panel shall be supported by one trolley
assembly consisting of four steel ball bearing wheels.
Omni Panels: Each panel shall be supported by two trolley
assemblies consisting of steel ball bearing wheels.
C. Panel finish
1. Shall be factory applied, Class "A" rated material. Finish
shall be (Select one):
--Hufcor standard Highland or Cairn reinforced vinyl fabric with woven
backing, weighing not less than 15 oz. per lineal yard. Flame spread 5;
Smoke Developed 10; Fuel Contributed 0.
Optional:
--Hufcor standard vertical ribbed carpet (N.R.C. .20-.30)
--Hufcor woven 100% polyolefin stain resistant fabric
2. All trim and seal channel in bronze or gray finish.
3. Seal channel color shall match panel trim.
4. Available Options: inset work surfaces, pass doors, pocket doors.
OPERATION
Pairs & Omnis
A. Pairs (Models 5500-R): Partitions shall be top supported,
manually operated panels hinged in groups of two or three, center stack,
with 3" retractable bottom seals. (Optional: top and bottom
mechanical seals.)
Omni-Directional (Models 5600-R): Partitions shall be top
supported, manually operated panels, side stack, with 3" retractable
bottom seals. (Optional: top and bottom mechanical seals.)
B. Basic panel retractable seals will be operated by a security/operating
handle located approximately 42" from the floor at panel edge. All
seals shall be operated simultaneously.
Operation of the seals shall require no more than 190º turn of the
handle. Horizontal seals to provide not less than 100 lbs. (50 kg) of
stabilizing pressure per panel when extended. Horizontal top seals, when
retracted, provide 1" operating clearance between top of panel and
track for friction-free movement. Horizontal bottom seals 2"
operating clearance when extended.
C. Final partition closure to be by (select one):
Lever Closure Panel of same construction as basic panels but provided
with an expanding jamb operated by a security/operating handle. Expanding
jamb shall compensate for out-of-plumb conditions or minor wall
irregularities and provide and maintain a continuous lateral load of up to
275 lbs. of seal pressure to achieve maximum sound control.
Trains (Models 5900 Electric & Manual):
Electric:
A. Train (Model 5900 E) partitions shall be top supported, electrically
operated, continuously hinged. Each panel shall be supported by its own
carrier. Partitions shall be key switch controlled, requiring constant
pressure to activate the motor.
B. Horizontal top seals shall be twin-finger continuous contact type.
Horizontal mechanical bottom seals shall be lowered to the floor
automatically by final sealing action of the partition. Bottom seal to be
capable of extending 1-1/2".
C. To provide a positive vertical seal between the partitions and the
building structure, the lead panel shall have self-compensating seals on
panel edge. Final closure of panel at the stacking end of each partition
shall have a full height dual seal which will be automatically closed by
the motor drive.
Manual (Models 5900M)
A. Partitions shall be top supported, manually operated, continuously
hinged.
B. Horizontal top seals shall be continuous contact type. Horizontal
mechanical bottom seals shall be activated from either side of the stack
panel by 3/4 turn of a handle. Bottom seal to be capable of extending
1-1/2". Final closure of the panel at the stacking end of each
partition shall be done manually.
ACOUSTICAL PERFORMANCE

acoustical consultant at a laboratory NVLAP accredited by the U.S. Dept.
of Commerce.
Complete written test report by the testing agency is to be made
available upon request and included with approval drawings.
