Gemini Pre-Cut Crickets are pre-packaged with only the triangular sections, not the entire cricket. Each cricket has a right angle to align with Atlas´s standard 4´ x 4´ tapered insulation panels. Available in 1/4" per ft. and 1/2" per ft. slope. Construction variances from building drawings are easily accommodated on site. Specify Gemini Pre-Cut Crickets, the only pre-engineered hinged cricket. Patent Number 5,966,883 and 6,105,324.

In 1998, years ahead of the Environmental Protection Agency timetable for eliminating HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons), Atlas introduced a line of ACFoam Products that are environmentally sensitive and available for virtually every type of construction system. Through a patented hydrocarbon blowing technology called ACUltra, Atlas began the phaseout of HCFCs in the manufacturing of foam insulation and anticipates the complete removal of HCFCs from all Atlas foam products within the next year

 RECOMMENDED USES

Gemin Pre-Cut Crickets are specified for use in hot asphalt or coal tar BUR, modified bitumen and single-ply membrane systems. Gemini Pre-Cut Crickets are manufactured in a tapered profile to attain positive drainage while maintaining the highest thermal efficiency available in a tapered system.


 
 WARRANTY

In response to valid concerns of building designers regarding thermal efficiency of roof assemblies and the long-term insulating value of roof insulation, Atlas offers a 20-year, limited thermal warranty. The "ACFoam" Limited Warranty places Atlas ACFoam products above all others and supports the building owner, designer and contractor by backing up thermal performance. This warranty is available to the building owner at the time the building is completed and is transferable to any subsequent owner for the duration of the 20-year period.

The following instructions apply specifically to a 50´ cricket. The processes described, however, apply to crickets of all sizes.

 
Complete Instructions
 

 STORAGE

Storage/Precautions: Factory-applied packaging is intended only for protection during transit. When stored outdoors or on the job site, packages should be stacked on pallets at least four inches above ground level and completely covered with a weatherproof covering such as a tarpaulin. The temporary factory-applied packaging should be slit or removed to prevent accumulation of condensation. Roof insulation which has become wet or damaged should be removed and replaced with solid, dry insulation.

Warning! Do Not Leave Exposed: This product is a polyiso organic plastic foam and will burn if exposed to an ignition source of sufficient heat and intensity, or open flame, such as a welder´s torch. Like other organic materials, this product will release smoke if ignited. Do not apply flame directly to ACFoam roof insulations. This product should be used only in strict accordance with Atlas recommended uses and application instructions.
