INTRODUCTION

This manufacturer’s guide specification is intended for use by design and construction professionals in the
development of project specifications. By referring to the manufacturer’s (“Notes to Specifier” in parentheses
and bolded), the specifier may easily select the portions of the comprehensive guide specification which are
pertinent to the project. “Notes to Specifier” should then be deleted from the final specification document. This
guide specification follows the Construction Specification Institute’s MasterFormat and SectionFormat protocols.

It will be prudent to place certain parts of the Dryvit Outsulation Mineral Wool System Specification in other parts
of the project’s total specification, such as sheathing, air and water-resistive barrier membrane, accessory
materials, sealants and framing. The project design professionals are responsible for verifying that the project
specifications are suitable for the project. For assistance in preparing your specification, please contact your
Dryvit Distributor or Dryvit / Tremco CPG Inc technical services.

WARNING

The Outsulation Mineral Wool System is designed as a drainage wall EIF system and is detailed to discharge
incidental moisture from within the System. Specifications should be followed and proper details adhered to, in
order to prevent water intrusion, resulting in possible damage to the System or other building elements. Care
should be taken to ensure that all building envelope elements, including without limitations, roofs, windows,
flashings, sealants, etc., are compatible with this EIF system.

The Outsulation Mineral Wool System is an engineered assembly of multiple compatible components: A fluid-
applied air and water-resistive barrier, accessory materials, adhesive, rigid mineral wool board, base coat,
reinforcing mesh, and finish coat.
