THE FORCE/2
Sidewalls & Insulation Material
FIGURING WALL CAVITY AREA
Measure wall cavity in inches. Multiply depth x width x height. Example:
(1)3 ⁄ " deep x 14 ⁄ " wide x 92
1 1
2 2
(2)Divide 4,700 by 1,728 = 2.72 cubic feet in the cavity.
Each wall cavity may vary slightly.
(1,728 equals the number of cubic inches in a cubic foot.)

CELLULOSE WET SPRAY
Your Force/2 can apply both wall-spray and spray-on materials. There are many
different types of material for these applications and depending upon the material
your results will differ. The Force/2 has been designed to apply most materials and
can recycle up 75/25 blend of Dry/Wet cellulose material. Using recycled material
will change the speed of the material traveling through the hose and will change
the impact (density) of the wall area being sprayed. It is recommended that you
test a small area of wall section to determine optimum machine settings before
starting the job. Loading of the hopper can affect the desired wall-spray job, we
recommend that when loading the hopper do not dispense wet material
into an empty hopper!, doing so may clog hose! Dispense wet material on top
of dry material and allow the agitator to blend the materials. Hose length, nozzle
orifice size and design play a key role to a successful application. The nozzle you
select will determine how to set up the machine. General guideline for
setting your machine; 100 feet of 2 or 2-1/2" hose, variable speed setting of
80-100% with the slide gate 1/4-1/3 open. When using 2 or 2-1/2" hose we
recommend using an insert tube to enhance setup and reduce the likely hood of
clogging the hose. For further information on Cellulose Wall-Spray or Spray-On
consult Intec or your local supplier of insulation material.
