- No, any wet or damp insulation can set off the trigger prematurely.
#9) Can the No-Puncture sensor be installed with wet or damp surfaces on the insulation?
- No, Do not install with any hot applied 2-ply SBS systems to avoid damaging the No-Puncture Sensor with the exception of heat welding of SBS seams with a robot welder or a handheld hot air weld.
-The No-Puncture Sensor for 2-ply SBS systems shall only be installed on self-adhered or cold applied 2-ply SBS roof systems.
#8) Can the No-Puncture sensor be installed on hot applied 2-ply SBS systems?
#7) Where can the No-Puncture sensor be installed?
-The No-Puncture sensor can be installed at any location on the roof system, to maximize effectiveness, it is recommended that the sensors be installed at or near the following leak-prone locations:
-
Walls or Parapet Walls
-
Drains or Drain Sumps
-
Curbs
-
Sleepers
-
Scuppers
-
Flanged vents
-
Roof pipe stacks
#6) What Tools and Accessories are required to install the No-Puncture sensor?
-The following tools are the required:
For Single-Ply Roof Systems (TPO, EPDM, PVC):
For 2-Ply SBS Roof Systems
- Yes it can be replaced, but any leak that's caused the sensor to trigger would need to be repaired first.
- To install a new sensor a 6'x6' foot area surrounding the location of the new sensor would have to be cutout and removed then replaced with new insulation to prevent any existing wet insulation to trigger the replacement sensor.
#5) Can the No-Puncture sensor be replaced?
- No, The No-Puncture sensor is a single use sensor and would need to be replaced with a new sensor.
#4) Does the No-Puncture sensor reset after detecting wet insulation?
#3) What are prices of the No-Puncture sensors?
- There are two products and one accessory kit currently offered:
No-Puncture Accessory Install Kit:
No-Puncture Roof Moisture Monitoring System Short Reach Sensor:
No-Puncture Roof Moisture Monitoring System Long Reach Sensor:
#2) What are the No-Puncture products offered?
- There are two products and one accessory kit currently offered:
No-Puncture Accessory Install Kit:
No-Puncture Roof Moisture Monitoring System Short Reach Sensor:
