Product information
Product name
JM Spider® Plus Custom Insulation SystemProduct description
The product consists of a specially engineered glass-fibre loose-fill insulation, which is installed in framing cavities using a spray-in technique with a low flow, high pressure water mist. A standard blowing machine is combined with a high pressure water pump and nozzle to apply the product (see Figure 1). The nozzle can be set to deliver a flow with a maximum initial installed moisture content of 15%.

Conditions and limitations
The CCMC’s compliance opinion is bound by this product being used in accordance with the conditions and limitations set out below.
- The proprietary product is only sold to, and can only be installed by, insulation contractors who have been trained and certified by Johns Manville. The training process includes an introductory seminar, on-site installer training, installer certification, and ongoing assistance by Johns Manville. For every site where the product is installed, a record must be created showing site data, machine settings, installation quality measurements (to ensure density and quantity of material, and proper adhesive) and information on any problems and the resolution.
- When the product is installed in an unconfined sloped space, such as an attic space over a sloped ceiling, the supporting slope must not be more than 4.5 in 12.
- To avoid irritation to the skin, eyes, and throat, the installer is required to wear a mask during material installation along with other safety equipment as specified by Johns Manville.
- The insulation must be kept at least 75 mm from heat-emitting devices such as recessed light fixtures, or at a distance required by the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
- The insulation must be kept at least 50 mm from the sidewalls of chimneys and vents, or at a distance required by the local AHJ.
- The lumber used in the wall framing must meet the requirements of Article 9.3.2.5., Moisture Content, of Division B of the NBC 2010, i.e., the moisture content of lumber must not be greater than 19% at the time of installation.
- The product must be installed as per the coverage described in one of the following 2 tables.
RSI (m2 ·K/W) | Minimum installed density (kg/m3) | Minimum thickness (mm) | Minimum mass per area (kg/m2) | Maximum coverage per bag (m2) | Minimum bags per area (100 m2) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
2.5 | 24.0 | 89 | 2.14 | 6.4 | 15.7 |
2.6 | 28.8 | 89 | 2.56 | 5.3 | 18.8 |
RSI (m2 ·K/W) | Minimum installed density (kg/m3) | Minimum thickness (mm) | Minimum mass per area (kg/m2) | Maximum coverage per bag (m2) | Minimum bags per area (100 m2) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
4.1 | 24.0 | 140 | 3.36 | 4.1 | 24.7 |
4.2 | 28.8 | 140 | 4.03 | 3.4 | 29.6 |
- The installation must be in accordance with the manufacturer’s current installation instructions.
- This product must be identified with the phrase “CCMC 13212-R” on the product label.

Administrative information
Disclaimer
This evaluation is issued by the Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC), a part of the Construction Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). The evaluation must be read in the context of the entire CCMC Registry of Product Assessments and the legislated applicable building code in effect.
The CCMC was established in 1988 on behalf of the applicable regulator (i.e., the provinces and territories) to ensure—through assessment—conformity of alternative and acceptable solutions to regional building codes as determined by the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) as part of the issuance of a building permit.
It is the responsibility of the local AHJs, design professionals, and specifiers to confirm that the evaluation is current and has not been withdrawn or superseded by a later issue. Please refer to the website or contact:

This evaluation is only valid when the product is installed in strict compliance with the stated conditions and limitations of evaluation and the applicable local building code. In circumstances where no applicable local building permit is issued and that no confirmation of compliance ‘for use in the intended field application’ is undertaken, this evaluation is null and void in all respects. This evaluation is provided without representation, warranty, or guarantee of any kind, expressed, or implied, and the NRC provides no endorsement for any evaluated material, product, system or service described herein.
