fastening edges of panels. Space clips not more than 16 inches (406
mm)o.c.
F.Provide fire blocking in furred spaces, stud spaces, and other concealed
cavities as indicated and as follows:
1.Fire block furred spaces of walls, at each floor level, at ceiling, and at not

(2438 mm)o.c. Where fire blocking is not inherent in framing system
used, provide closely fitted solid wood blocks of same width as framing
members and 2-inch nominal-(38-mm actual-)thickness.
G.Sort and select lumber so that natural characteristics will not interfere with
installation or with fastening other materials to lumber. Do not use materials
with defects that interfere with function of member or pieces that are too small
to use with minimum number of joints or optimum joint arrangement.
H.Comply with AWPA M4 for applying field treatment to cut surfaces of
preservative-treated lumber.
1.Use inorganic boron for items that are continuously protected from liquid
water.
2.Use copper naphthenate for items not continuously protected from liquid

(610 mm)long except where necessary. Stagger joints in adjacent and related
standing and running trim. Cope at returns and miter at corners to produce
tight-fitting joints with full-surface contact throughout length of joint. Use
scarf joints for end-to-end joints.
1.Match color and grain pattern across joints.
2.Install trim after gypsum board joint-finishing operations are completed.
3.Drill pilot holes in hardwood before fastening to prevent splitting. Fasten
