GENERAL
Use ‘Preliminary checks’ and ‘Initial start-up’ procedures as a check list on your Volu-Matic 500 machine each day
before proceeding to the job site. At the job site, connect hose paying particular attention to recommended hose
size, type, and length as specified in the following table. All hose couplings must be thin wall, 1/16 inch maximum,
to minimize restrictions. Hose purchased from CertainTeed Machine Works is supplied with thin wall couplers and
clamps. The airlock feeder outlet
20 is 4 inches in diameter. A thin wall 4" to 3-1/2" reducer is supplied with new
delivered machines for open blow operations. A thin wall 3-1/2" to 3” reducer is supplied for fiberglass and
rockwool sidewall spray operations and a thin wall 3" to 2-1/2" reducer is supplied for cellulose sidewall spray
operations. Make sure to reduce gradually when using 3" or 2-1/2" hose for spraying.
The Volu-Matic 500 machine will not perform to specifications when held back by undersized and restrictive hoses,
couplings, and nozzles that are used for sidewall spray operations. For sidewall spray operations, make sure the nozzle
that you use has an opening that is a least the same square inch area or greater than the hose selected. The nozzle
should also have a body wall that is not greater than 1/16 - 1/8 inch in thickness and with a smooth tapered entrance.
