Prior to installation of the insulation the entire interior body surface will be sprayed with a heavy protective coating of sprayable latex rubber to provide sound deadening and corrosion protection. The body sides and ceiling shall have 2" Reflectix dual air bubble core insulation (or equal) in the walls and ceiling providing an insulation factor of R-11. The insulation shall be fire retardant, non -settling, non-hydroscopic, and mildew and vermin proof. The module shall have an expandable polyurethane spray foam type in the floor and sides and bottom of the step well of the patient compartment to provide maximum protection from changes in outside temperature. The insulation shall be fire retardant, non -settling, non-hydroscopic, and mildew and vermin proof. There shall be a generous amount of undercoating applied throughout the undercarriage of the body and chassis. Undercoating must be applied according to chassis manufacturer guidelines. Y N 6.10 HEAT SHIELDS To further insulate and protect the patient compartment the ambulance manufacturer shall install 18-gauge galvanized steel below the sub -floor material to act as a heat shield and vapor barrier. An .18-gauge galvanized steel sheet, with waterproof insulation laminated to it shall be installed directly to the bottom of the floor tubes. This will create a sandwich style construction to further insulate the patient floor in the area of the muffler and exhaust system. 6.11 FENDER INSULATOR An additional insulator shall be provided and installed on top of the wheel well liner. This layered rubber and aluminum foil material shall diminish the effects of noise created by road debris and provide additional thermal insulation for the patient compartment. Y N 6.12 CAB CONNECTION The vehicle cab back shall be removed without disturbing the structural integrity. A reinforcement structure shall be fabricated from 16-gauge steel 1" x 1" box tube and shall be fully welded to the vehicle cab and used as a mounting system to attach the cab/module expanding bellows. Y N 6.13 MOUNTING An Isomount technique shall be used to mount the ambulance body to the chassis frame. Mounting hardware shall consist of .75" x 6" aluminum bar stock body plates, ten (16) 7/16"-14 UNC threaded Grade 8 bolts, paired rubber isolators with steel cap, collared mounting nut for each mounting point and (10) 1/4" steel outriggers with (2) support gussets using grade 8 bolts. The bolts and rubber isolators are similar to the type used to mount the vehicle cab. Mounting holes in the top of the outrigger shall accommodate the mounting hardware. The .75" x 6" aluminum bar stock mounting
