Panels shall consist of interior and exterior metal skins precisely formed with steel dies and roll-form equipment and thoroughly checked with gauges for accuracy. The metal skins shall be placed into heated molds and liquid urethane injected between them. For extra rigidity, the exteriors of all vertical panels except corners and door panels shall have vertical grooves spaced on 5-3/4" centers. Urethane shall be foamed-in-place (poured, not frothed) and, when completely heat-cured, shall bind tenaciously to the metal skins to form an insulated panel. Panels shall contain 100 percent urethane insulation and have no internal wood or structural members between the skins. To insure tight joints, panel edges must have foamed-in-place tongues and grooves with a flexible vinyl gasket on the interior and exterior of all tongue edges. Gaskets shall be resistant to damage from oil, fats, water and detergents and must be NSF-approved. Panel thickness: 4"___- 5"___- 6"___.

Panels 11-1/2", 17-1/4" or 34-1/2" wide are to be furnished only if required to fit the allocated space. To assure perfect alignment and maximum strength, corner panels shall employ a right-angle configuration with exterior horizontal dimensions of 12" on each side. Vertical panels (except corner panels) shall be supplied in a single length up to 28' high (16' high for installations with aluminum or stainless steel finish). For outdoor applications, single-height panels greater than 19' (16' for aluminum) or multi-tiered vertical panels must be secured to horizontal girts mounted between building columns.

8.
Panels shall be equipped with Bally Speed-lok diaphragmatic joining devices. The distance between locks shall not exceed 46". Each device shall consist of a cam-action, hooked locking arm placed in one panel, and a steel rod positioned in the adjoining panel, so that when the arm is rotated, the hook engages the rod and draws the panels tightly together with cam action. Arms and rods shall be housed in individual steel pockets. Pockets on one side of the panel shall be connected to pockets on the other side in width, by the use of 2"-wide metal straps set into and completely surrounded by the insulation. When panels are joined together, these straps shall form lock-to-lock connections for extra strength.

9. Floor Construction -
Bally furnishes floor panels only. All construction and preparation for Bally floor panels must be provided by others. Floor panel construction shall be similar to that described in sections 7 and 8 above, but with a heavier-gauge interior skin; thickness of floor panels may be different than that of vertical panels. 4"-thick floor panels can be NSF or non-NSF. 5"- and 6"-thick panels are non-NSF.

B. ___ Heavy-usage Floor - Floor panels shall be placed on a depressed concrete pad and leveled. After supporting steel is assembled, a 4" reinforced concrete wearing floor shall be poured. The depression shall be deep enough to make interior and exterior finished floors the same height.

C. ___ Built-in, Insulated Floor - The floor shall be constructed on the job site. It shall consist of a depressed, reinforced concrete sub-slab. Slab urethane shall be built into this depressed slab and tile floor or 4" reinforced concrete wearing floor installed on top. Wall panels shall be fastened to this floor Adequate drainage and ventilation or other heat source must be provided beneath and around all construction.
