This MANU-SPEC utilizes the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) Project Resource Manual (PRM), including MasterFormatTM, SectionFormatTM and PageFormatTM. A MANU-SPEC is a manufacturer-specific proprietary product specification using the proprietary method of specifying applicable to project specifications and master guide specifications. Optional text is indicated by brackets []; delete optional text in final copy of specification. Specifier Notes typically precede specification text; delete notes in final copy of specification. Trade/brand names with appropriate symbols typically are used in Specifier Notes; symbols are not used in specification text. Metric conversion, where used, is soft metric conversion.

This MANU-SPEC specifies PW-100/40, a peel-and-stick membrane air and vapor barrier for use as a full building wrap or for sealing building joints. This product is manufactured by Protecto Wrap Co. Revise MANU-SPEC section number and title below to suit project requirements, specification practices and section content. Refer to CSI MasterFormat for other section numbers and titles.
