FAQs about IEQc4.1 :

How is VOC % less water determined for aerosol adhesives?

Do grout and caulking need to be included, and if so, what is the application category?

Our project didn't use some common adhesive types, and our LEED reviewer asked about this. Are we supposed to justify not using certain adhesives in our documentation?

Is there a shortcut to the VOC budget method if you have just one product that is used minimally on a project?

Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds?

How do I determine what application my product falls under?

In what category would this product be? The GC can't place it. Blue Magic Pipe Thread Compound: an all purpose, non-seizing industrial grad thread sealing compound that produces a leakproof seal on all types of plastic and metal threaded connections. Example would be a gas line that has threaded connections. This compound gets applied before the pipes are connected. Kind of like a loctite for screws.

I would apply it under #1168 Architectural Sealant, but with a VOC content of 310 g/l, I would ask your GC to look for another product. I have had many plumbing trades using the green line readily available through IPEX.

John-David, I have a similar problem and cannot find the product you have indicated on the IPEX catalog. What is the name of the product?
