4.0 Wall Surface Compatibility
The wall surface MUST be checked for compatibility with
the adhesive backed One-Pass Mini Fiber Pathway prior to
installation.
This test must be conducted on the most challenging surface
of the installation path (greasy, soiled, textured etc). Or if
installing on multiple wall surfaces, all surfaces must be
tested and all must pass.
Incompatible surfaces include:
• Highly textured walls
• Porous or unfinished/unpainted brick or concrete
• Fabric wall surfaces
• Surfaces with flaking/delaminating paint or wallpaper
NOTE: The One Pass Mini Fiber Pathway should not be
installed on the incompatible surface types listed above.
