Thermal Performance
Knauf JET STREAM ULTRA 73.3 Fiber Glass Blowing Insulation provides you a choice of R-values based on the installed thickness and the installed weight per square foot. The tables below show the minimum requirements for obtaining the desired R-value. The stated thermal resistance (R-value) is provided by installing in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, the required number of bags per 1,000 sq. ft. of net area, at not less than the labeled minimum thickness.
Jet Stream ultra 73.3′s new 32 pound bag gives you coverage of 73.3 square feet at R-30. Failure to install both the required number of bags and at least the minimum thickness will result in lower insulation R-values.
Equipment Required
To achieve labeled R-value, this product must be applied with a pneumatic blowing machine and corrugated hose with a minimum ¼” internal corrugation, a minimum length of 150 feet and a diameter of at least 3″. Coils in the hose should not be less than 36″ in diameter. Acceptable feed rate is 5 to 35 lbs./minute. The recommended feed rate is 15 to 25 lbs./minute.
