This MANU-SPEC® utilizes the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) Project Resource Manual (PRM), including MasterFormat™, SectionFormat™ and PageFormat™. A MANU-SPEC is a manufacturer-specific proprietary product specification using the proprietary method of specifying applicable to project specifications and master guide specifications. Optional text is indicated by brackets [ ]; delete optional text in final copy of specification. Specifier Notes precede specification text; delete notes in final copy of specification. Trade/brand names with appropriate product model numbers, styles and types are used in Specifier Notes and in the specification text Article titled “Acceptable Material.” Metric conversion, where used, is soft metric conversion.
This MANU-SPEC specifies framing and trim components for demountable partition systems as manufactured by NxtWall. Revise MANU-SPEC section number and title below to suit project requirements, specification practices and section content. Refer to CSI MasterFormat for other section numbers and titles.
