FIRE PERFORMANCE SUBMITTAL SHEET A concrete roof deck that can be combined with other noncombustible materials to create 1- and 2-hour fire-rated roof-ceiling assemblies. • The only cementitious structural panel approved by Factory Mutual (FM) — FM Approval Standard 4472 • Strong, durable concrete panel; great uplift ratings • Dimensionally stable; panel will not buckle or warp like wood sheathing; no moisture issues like structural concrete • Installs fast and easy with appropriate dust collection • Meets the criteria of ASTM E136-16 for use in all types of noncombustible construction • Made in the USA USG Structural Panel Concrete Roof Deck is mechanically fastened to cold-formed steel joists, trusses or wood framing members; to create a structural substrate for ideal as low- and steep-slope roof systems, canopies and/or balconies. This roof system is designed to carry gravity and lateral loads. Roof membranes may be applied directly over USG Structural Panel Concrete Roof Decks. For retrofit or renovation projects, Concrete Roof Deck can also be installed on wood-joists, trusses or bar joists. See recommended fasteners within this submittal sheet. USG Structural Panel Concrete Roof Decks can carry a total load, live and dead, of 150 psf (7.2 kPa) on cold-formed steel framing is spaced 48 in. (1220mm) o.c. USG Structural Panel Concrete Roof Decks have a linear variation with change in moisture content of less than 0.10%. This means that the panels will not buckle or warp like wood sheathing. Cutting USG Structural Panel Concrete Roof Decks require a carbide-tipped saw blade and a circular saw equipped with dust collection or suppression and control of airborne dust. Fastening is also conventional, using a screw gun and self-drilling No. 8-gauge screws. Because these panels are so durable, they may be installed in most weather conditions, including mild precipitation (rain or snow) and temperatures from 0°F to 125°F (-18°C to 52°C). Refer to roof system manufacturer's written instructions, local code requirements and Factory Mutual Global (FMG) and/or Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements for proper installation techniques. For the attachment of shingles, USG recommends the use of electro-galvanized collated roofing nails installed by a professional grade pneumatic nailer with an air supply between 100 to 120 psi. UL Classified (Type USGSP) for noncombustibility in accordance with ASTM E136-16 (CAN/ULC-S114) UL Classified (Type USGSP) as to Surface Burning Characteristics in accordance with ASTM E84 (CAN/ULC-S102). — Flame Spread 0 and Smoke Developed 0 Class A, in accordance with UL790 (CAN/ULC-S107). See the UL Building Materials Directory for more information SYSTEM PERFORMANCE (a) On steel framing. (b) Joists spaced 48” (1219.2mm) o.c. and fasteners spaced 4” (102mm) o.c. at the perimeter and 12" (305mm) o.c. in field, fully blocked. See the Progressive Engineering Inc. Product Evaluation Report PER-14076.

APPLICATION CONT. ROOFING SYSTEM PRODUCT DATA Install USG Structural Panel Concrete Roof Decks with the long edges perpendicular to the framing. Apply the panel with the print markings facing up toward the installer. Fasten each panel after it has been placed following the fastening schedule listed in the contract documents. Install panels in a running bond pattern so that end joints fall over the center of the framing members and are staggered by at least two supports from where the end joints fall in the adjacent rows. Tongue and groove joints should be free of debris and fitted tightly...
