Pintle Hot Dip

Features:

Legs:

The "LEGS" can accommodate up to 4" of insulation. The legs of the HCL-711 provide the platform for the insulation. This eliminates potential insulation damage and improves thermal performance. R value is maintained. The installer does not have to penetrate varying amounts of insulation while guessing for direct contact with the stud. The pintles serve to secure the insulation to the exterior wallboard. The simplified installation procedure saves on labor costs.

Prongs:

Three pointed prongs which pierce wallboard and abut to the steel stud. The triangular pattern of the 14 gauge prongs allows little or no compressible movement where the wallboard may deteriorate.. The installer does not have to penetrate varying amounts of insulation while guessing for direct contact with the stud.

Square Grid:

With the metal studs spaced at 16" intervals, the system provides a 16" squared grid. This is accomplished with two easy steps:

1. First, 8-foot-wide insulation is installed as a guide from the footer of the wall. The 16" height of the insulation indicates where the next horizontal line of HCL-711s will attach at the vertical line of wallboard fasteners.
2. The insulation is then inlaid snugly between the legs of the uniform horizontal lines of HCL-711s.
