1.0 GENERAL

1.1 Purpose of the Installation Guide

This installation guide is provided to Allsouth Pre-Engineered Components (APEC) customers and their erectors as the recommended procedure for the correct assembly of the APEC Standing Seam Roof System.

This guide is intended to be used in conjunction with the project’s erection drawings to help plan and orga-nize the installation of the APEC Standing Seam Roof System. The erection drawings identify the applicable roof conditions and govern specific part arrangements. The instructions will help you identify parts, establish the installation sequence, demonstrate correct assem-bly, and point out any areas or procedures requiring

special emphasis or attention. This installation guide applies to the standard APEC Standing Seam Roof System. Custom roof conditions, including custom details and instructions, will be covered by the erection drawings. In case of conflict between this installation guide and the erection drawings, the erection drawings will have precedence.

1.2 Customer’s ResponsibilityThe customer is responsible for proper installation of the roof in accordance with the erection drawings and this installation guide, and in accordance with good engineering and construction practices.

The customer must take the responsibility for selecting a competent erector, insist that the work be performed by qualified and experienced standing seam metal roof installers, insist that the erector take time to study and understand this guide, then ensure that the erector correctly follows the guide’s instructions.

APEC does not guarantee and is not liable for the quality of erection. APEC is not responsible for building defects that may be attributed to improper erection or the negli-gence of other parties.

Clarification concerning the APEC roof installation should be directed to the APEC Customer Service Manager.

2.0 SAFE ROOF INSTALLATION

2.1 Erector’s ResponsibilityThe erector of the roof system is responsible for the safe execution of this installation guide. These instruc-tions are intended to describe the sequence and proper placement of parts. They are not intended to prescribe comprehensive safety procedures.

If the erector cannot safely assemble the roof in accor-dance with these instructions, it is the responsibility of the erector to stop the work and contact APEC to determine alternate assembly procedures.

2.2 OSHAThe Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) has promulgated many regulations applicable to the installation of this or any other roof system. These regulations, identified as Part 1926, Safety and Health Regulations for Construction, are available from any government bookstore. The objective of the OSHA standards is to protect the worker from injury or illness. These OSHA regulations should be recognized as job site requirements and be fully complied with.

Failure to do so may result in substantial fines in the event of an OSHA inspection. Safe installation practices may be further defined and made mandatory by state or local ordinances.

Maintaining good housekeeping on the jobsite is recog-nized as being important to both OSHA compliance and to successful job completion.

2.3 Walking & Working on Roof PanelsDo not walk on the last installed panel run, as the un-secured edge could collapse under a person’s weight. When installing clips or making endlap connections, etc., stand where the roof structural will support your weight.

An approved and safe walking platform should be used in high traffic areas to prevent the roof panel from being deformed, scratched, or scuffed.

A. PLACING PANELS ON THE STRUCTUREDo not place bundles of panels on the roof structure without first verifying the structure will safely support the concentrated weight of the panels and the weight of the installation crew. Some roof structures may not be designed to support the weight of a full panel bundle without additional structure support.

B. WALKING ON ROOF PANELSDo not use a roof panel as a working platform. An unsecured panel could collapse under the weight of a person standing between purlins or at the panel end.

TS-324™ Roof System Installation Guide2.0 SAFE ROOF INSTALLATION

2.3 Walking & Working on Roof Panels (Continued)C. SAFETY EQUIPMENTThe use of safety equipment for the roof panel installa-tion is recommended at all times during the installation process. However, when using lanyards, ensure that the clasp, belt hooks and wire cables are covered in such a manner that they will not scratch the panel surface if accidentally dragged along the panel.

D. CREW SIZEThe length of the individual roof panels should be considered when determining the crew size. It is rec-ommended that under normal conditions, there be one person for every ten feet of panel length, plus one.

E. PANEL OVERHANGDo not stand on the end of unsupported (cantile-vered) panels at the eave or ridge. Standing on the cantilever portion may result in panel collapse.

F. POINT LOADSWhen properly supported by the structurals, panels are designed to support uniform loads, which are evenly distributed over the panel surfaces. Point loads that occur in small or concentrated areas, such as heavy equipment, ladders or platform feet, may cause panel deformation or even panel collapse.

G. SLICK SURFACESPanel surfaces and structural steel surfaces are hard, smooth, and nonabsorbent, which causes these sur-faces to be very slick when wet or covered with snow or ice. Even blowing sand or heavy dust can make these surfaces difficult to walk on without slipping.Unpainted panel surfaces are often coated with oil to

accommodate the panel-fabrication process. Although designed to wash away or evaporate during normal weather, the oil on new panels can be extremely slick, especially during periods of light rain or dew.

Caution must be exercised to prevent slipping and falling onto the roof surface or even sliding off the roof. Non-slip footwear is a necessity and non-slip working platforms are recommended.

H. ELECTRICAL CONDUCTANCEMetal panels are excellent electrical conductors. A common cause of injury is the contact of metal panels with power lines during handling and installation. The location of all power lines must be noted and, if possible, flagged. The installation process must be routed to avoid accidental contact with all power lines and high voltage services and equipment. All tools and power cords must be properly insulated and grounded; the use of approved ground fault circuit breakers is recommended.

I. FALSE SECURITY OF INSULATIONBlanket and board insulation blocks the installer’s view of the ground below the roof. Serious injury can occur when the installer gets a false sense of security because he cannot see the ground and steps through the insula-tion.

J. SHARP EDGESSome edges of panels and flashing are razor sharp and can cause severe cuts if proper protective hand gear is not worn. Be careful not to injure others while moving panels and flashing.

2.4. Handling Roof Materials in Strong WindsDo not attempt to move panels in strong winds. Wind pressure can easily cause a man to lose balance and fall. Strong wind uplift on a panel can lift the weight of the man carrying the panel.

Loose, wind-borne panels are very dangerous and can cause severe injury and damage.

Secure stacks of panels with banding or tie-downs, so wind will not blow the panels off the roof. Clamp indi-vidual unsecured panels to the roof structurals. Clamp or block panel bundles and accessory crates to prevent them from sliding down the roof slope.

TS-324™ Roof System Installation Guide3.0 CHECKING THE STRUCTURE

3.1 Completed and BracedBefore placing materials and workers on the roof struc-ture to start roof installation, it must be confirmed that the structure is designed to accommodate the material and erection loads as well as the appropriate live loads and wind uplift loads.

It also must be determined that the structure is complete and structurally sound with all structural connections and bracing in place and secure.

3.2 Lateral StabilityThe sliding clip method of attaching the roof panels to the roof structurals provides only limited lateral stability and diaphragm bracing to the roof structurals.

Before placing materials on the roof and starting the roof installation, confirm that the necessary roof bracing and sag angles, strapping or bridging for purlin stability is in place and secured.

3.3 AlignmentPrior to installation, roof structurals should be checked for overall dimensions and evenness of plane. The roof structurals should also be checked to verify the roof system could be installed without interference. Also, roof structurals nearest the panel endlaps, ridge or high eave should be checked for correct location to properly accommodate the roof components.

A. TOLERANCESTo ensure the roof system’s correct fit-up and designed weather tightness, the structure must be aligned within the following tolerances:

Out of Square — The roof system can only accom-modate 1/4” of sawtooth of the roof panel ends at the eave, ridge and panel splices. This means the allow-able out of square of the rake line relative to the eave line and ridge line is 1/4” for each 40’ of rake run.

Structure Width and Eave Straightness — The roof system is designed to accommodate ±2” of overall structure width error, or ±1” of eave straightness error at each eave.

To ensure that the accumulation of the structure width error and eave straightness error does not exceed the roof system’s tolerance, the structure width should be measured from eave line to eave line at each rake, at the first frame line from each rake and at each point where there is a significant error or change in eave straightness (this usually occurs at a frame line or at a wind column).

Structure Length and Rake Straightness — The roof system is designed to accommodate ±2” of overall structure length error, or ±1” of rake straightness error at each rake.

To ensure that the accumulation of structure length error and rake straightness error does not exceed the roof system’s tolerance, the structure length should be measured from rake line to rake line at each eave, at the ridge and at each point where there is a significant error or change in rake straightness (this usually occurs at an end rafter splice).

B. MEASURINGStructure length and width may be measured with a steel measuring tape from the face of the eave or rake member to the face of the opposite eave or rake member. The measuring tape must be parallel to the relative eave or rake line and must be stretched taut.

Eave and rake straightness may be determined by mea-suring deviations from a string line, which is stretched taut along the eave or rake line.

C. AESTHETIC ACCEPTANCEAlthough these structure alignment tolerances will al-low for reasonable roof component fit-up and ease of installation, the extremes of these tolerances may be aesthetically objectionable and should be confirmed with the customer before starting the roof installation.

D. CORRECTIONSAny structure alignment error, which exceeds the above stated tolerances, must be corrected before roof installa-tion can begin. If it is decided that the structure alignment errors cannot be corrected, alternate roof details may need to be developed. The alternate details may require additional materials, modified parts (with additional cost, fabrication and delivery time) and additional installation time. APEC cannot ensure the performance of such alternate details.

4.0 RECEIVING & HANDLING ROOF MATERIALS

Your material is carefully inspected and crated before leaving the plant and accepted by the transportation company as being complete and in satisfactory con-dition. It is the carrier’s responsibility to deliver the shipment intact. It is the consignee’s responsibility to inspect the shipment for damages and shortages when it is delivered.

Conducting a material inventory at the time of delivery is essential. By conducting the materials inventory, the erector is able to identify any material shortage or damage and avoid stopping installation later because of such shortage or damage.

It is imperative that any shortages or damage of the de-livered materials be noted at once and clearly marked on the bill of lading before signature of acceptance. Notify APEC immediately of any conflicts. APEC will not be responsible for shortages or damages unless they are noted on the bill of lading.

In the case of packaged components (such as clips, fasteners and sealants, etc.), the quantities are marked on their container and should be checked against the bill of materials. APEC must be notified of any shortages or concealed damage within 15 days of delivery.

4.2 Equipment For Unloading and LiftingHoisting equipment is necessary to unload and posi-tion the panels and accessory crates for site storage and installation. The equipment must have sufficient capacity and reach to place the material where it is required for efficient installation.

Slings will be required to minimize panel damage. The recommended slings are nylon straps of 6” minimum width and of sufficient length to accommodate the panel bundle girth.

A spreader bar will be required for the longer panel crates to ensure correct sling spacing and uniform lifting. The spreader bar must be large enough to handle the maxi-mum panel bundle weight and length.

A forklift is handy for unloading and placing shorter panel and accessory crates.

4.3 Lifting Roof Panel Bundles

Under normal conditions, panel crates less than 35’ long can be lifted with two slings spaced at third points. Panel crates longer than 35’ can be lifted with three slings located at quarter points using a spreader bar to achieve correct sling spacing for uniform lift.

Slings should be located under the cross boards. Loads should always be checked for secure hook-up,

proper balance, and lift clearance. Tag lines should be used if necessary to control the load during lifting, espe-cially if operating in the wind.

Panel crates less than 25’ long may be lifted with a forklift only if the forks are spread at least 5’ apart and blocking is used to prevent panel damage by the forks.

4.4 Field Storage of Roof Materials

Upon acceptance of the shipment, the customer or their representative is responsible for proper handling, storage and security of the roof materials. APEC is not liable for damage or loss of materials at the job site.

The roof panel bundles should be stored on the job site in accordance with the following recommendations:

A. Store panels in a protected area, out of stand-ing water and drifting snow, etc.

B. Elevate panels with blocking to allow air circula-

tion under the bundle.

C. Slope panels for drainage of moisture from the panels.

D. As necessary, cover panels with waterproof tarp, allowing for air circulation (do not wrap tarp under panel crate or restrict air move-ment).

E. Inspect panels daily for moisture accumula-tion.

F. If panel bundles contain moisture, the panels should be dried and re-stacked. Use care in re-stacking to avoid damage to panels.

G. Opened or re-stacked panel bundles should be secured to prevent wind damage.

When moving panel bundles, extreme caution should be taken to prevent damage to the panel edges. Un-crated panels should be supported at each end and at 8’ spaces.

All bundles or loose panels on the roof should be banded to the roof structurals at the end of each workday. On steep roofs, provisions should be taken to prevent panels and panel crates from sliding off the roof. Be sure to set panel bundles on the roof in the proper direction for the installation sequence.

Trim and accessories should be stored in a secure area and protected from damage, weather and theft. Fasten-ers, sealants, closures, etc. should be stored out of the weather and protected from contamination.

4.5 Handling Individual Roof Panels

To lift individual panels, lift one side of the panel by the seam, letting it hang naturally to prevent buckling. Pick-up points should not be more than 10’ apart. Do not pick-up panels by the ends only, or in a flat position.

If the individual panels are to be lifted to the roof by hand line, the common method is to use the vice grip “C” clamps. Position the clamps on the flat of the panel,

as close as possible to one edge so the panel is lifted in a vertical position. The jaws of the vice grips must be padded to prevent damage to the panel surface. The clamps should be uniformly spaced, no more than 10’ apart and the hand lines must be pulled in unison so that uneven lifting does not buckle the panel. Be sure the clamps are tight on the panel and the line is secure to prevent dropping the panel, which can result in personal injury and property damage.

5.1 Proper ToolsBefore starting paneling, be sure that the proper equipment and tools are on hand. The tools must be in good operating condition and operators should adhere to safety precautions at all times.

Improperly operating tools, too few tools, inadequate power source, or other equipment deficiencies slow down the installation process. The cost of inefficient working is usually greater than the cost of providing good equipment.

5.0 ROOF INSTALLATION BASICS

5.2 Equipment ListThe following tools and equipment should be consid-ered for efficient installation of the APEC standing seam panel. Actual tools and equipment required may vary due to variations in building type and con-struction.

dling the total equipment requirements, including 20-amp seamer machine, without power drop due to extension cord length.

*These tools are specifically designed for the APEC Roof Panel and are available from the APEC.

5.3 SealantsA. TEMPERATURE EFFECTSTemperature extremes must be considered during installation of the roof due to the sensitivity of sealants. The recommended installation temperature range is 20º F to 120º F. At colder temperatures, the sealant stiffens resulting in loss of adhesion and compress-ibility. At hotter temperatures, the sealant becomes too soft for practical handling. On cold but sunny days, the panel’s surface may become warm enough to accept the application of a heated sealant even though the air temperature is below 20º F.

When overnight temperatures fall below freezing, the sealant should be stored in a heated room so it will be warm enough to use the following day. On hot days, the sealant cartons should be stored off the roof in a cool and shaded area. While on the roof, sealant rolls should be kept shaded until actual use.

In very cold weather, it is recommended that the fas-teners be tightened slowly and only tight enough that the sealant is in full contact with the panel or flashing. Then on the next sunny day, complete the tightening process after the sun warms the panel and flashing surfaces.

B. CONTAMINATIONTo ensure proper adhesion and sealing, the sealant must have complete contact with adjoining surfaces and achieve 30% compression. Contaminants such as water, oil, dirt and dust prevent such contact. The panel and flashing surfaces must be dry and thoroughly cleaned of all contaminants. Before applying tape sealant, the seal-ant should be checked for contaminants. If the sealant surfaces are contaminated, it must not be used.

During cool weather, condensation or light mist can ac-cumulate on the panel and flashing surface and not be easily noticed. It is recommended that sealants always be kept under protective cover and that the panel and flashing surfaces be wiped dry immediately before in-stallation.

Tape sealant is provided with a protective paper to reduce contamination. Incomplete removal of the protective paper will prevent the sealant’s adhesion to the panel or flashing surfaces. Always verify that the protective paper is completely removed. Do not remove the protective paper until immediately before the panel or flashing is installed over the sealant.


10

ET1-1-R0


5.3 Sealants (Continued)

C. COMPRESSIONTo ensure proper adhesion and seal, the tape sealant must be compressed between the panel and flash-ing surfaces with firm and uniform pressure. In most cases, the required pressure is applied by the clamping action of screws pulling the adjoining surfaces together. However, the tape sealant’s resistance to pressure becomes greater in cold weather.

During cold weather, the fasteners must be tightened slowly to allow the sealant time to compress. If the fasteners are tightened too fast, the fastener may strip out before the sealant compresses adequately, or the panel or flash may deform in the immediate area of the fastener, leaving the rest of the sealant insufficiently compressed.

D. INSIDE CORNERSAn inside radius, such as where the panel flat meets a rib, is usually the most critical area to seal. A common mistake for the installer, is to bridge the sealant across the inside radius.

When the lapping panel or flashing is pushed into place, the bridged sealant is stretched and thinned. The seal-ant may then be too thin to adequately seal this critical area. When tape sealant is applied at an inside radius, it is recommended that the sealant be folded back on itself, then push the sealant fold into the radius. Do not tear, but cut the tape sealant to length with a box knife or equal.

5.4 FastenersA. SCREW GUNUse torque control and variable speed screw guns for driving self-drilling screws (2000-2500 RPM screw gun speeds are necessary to attain efficient drilling speeds). High tool amperage (4 to 7 AMP) is required to achieve the proper torque for proper seating, and to secure the fastener.

B. SOCKETSUse good quality magnetic sockets. Good fitting sock-ets reduce wobble and stripping of the screw heads, especially the alloy and capped heads. They also minimize objectionable paint chipping and scuffing on colored screws and minimize damage to the protective coating on unpainted screws.

Magnetic sockets collect drill shavings, which will build up and eventually prevent the socket from seating properly on the screw heads. One method of remov-ing the drill shavings is to roll up a ball of tape sealant and push the socket into the sealant.

When the socket is removed from the sealant, most of the drill shavings will remain embedded in the sealant thereby cleaning the socket. This process should be repeated as often as needed to keep the socket clear of drill shavings.

C. SOCKET EXTENSIONA 4” or 6” socket extension is recommended for installing the panel clip screws. With the extension the screw can be driven straight down without tilting the screw gun to clear the panel or clip. Since socket extensions are slow to wear out, it is usually more cost effective to purchase socket extensions and good quality sockets, rather than to purchase sockets with built-in extensions.

D. INSTALLATIONBefore starting the screw, the materials to be joined must be pressed together with foot or hand pressure. The pressure must be maintained until the screw has drilled through all the materials and the threads have engaged.

5.4 Fasteners (Continued)

D. INSTALLATION (continued)Most self-drilling screws require 20 pounds of pressure to maintain the drilling action and to start the thread cutting action. Also, applying such pressure before starting the screw gun will usually prevent tip walking or wandering.

If too little pressure is applied, the drill point may not cut into the metal and the point will heat up and become dull. If the pressure is too heavy, the bottom material may be deflected away, causing a standoff condition, or the drill tip may be broken or split. Screws must be held perpendicular to the panel or flashing surface during starting and driving.

For proper seating of the fastener-sealing washer, the panel or flashing surface must be clean and drill shavings must be removed from under washers before seating. The fastener must be driven perpendicular to the panel surface so that the washer can seat level without warping or cupping.

Do not over drive screws. Over driving can strip the threads and/or damage the sealing washer. Use screw gun with torque control set to function properly for the combination of fastener size, hole size and material thickness.

The fastener should be driven tight enough to uniformly compress the washer but not so tight that the washer splits or rolls out from under it’s metal dome. The rec-ommended procedure is to tighten the fastener until the sealing washer just starts to visually bulge from under the metal dome.

As a good installation practice, all roof installers should carry approved oversized screws. Upon stripping or breaking a screw, the screw must be immediately re-moved and replaced with the appropriate oversized screw. Do not defer the screw replacement to be re-membered and fixed later, or to be found by the clean-up crew. The majority of such screws will be overlooked until the customer complains of leakage.

5.5 Field Cutting Panels and Flashing

A. ABRASIVE SAW PROBLEMSAbrasive saws (circular saws with friction disks) are not recommended for cutting roof panels or flashing. Abrasive saws create high heat that may burn away the protective coating from the panel edge, causing the edge to rust.

Also, abrasive saw dust contains fine, hot steel parti-cles, which accumulate on panel and flashing surfaces where they rust and can cause staining and rusting of those surfaces.

Rust caused by abrasive saw damage or abrasive dust particles can be excluded from warranty claims.

B. SHEARING METHODSIt is recommended that panels and flashing be cut with shears to provide a clean, undamaged cut. On shear cut edges, the protective coating extends to the edge of the cut and is often wiped over the edge to further protect the base metal. Whenever possible, fit the material so that the factory cut edge is exposed and the field cut edge is covered.

When field cutting complex shapes, it is usually easier to cut out a 1” wide strip using both left and right hand shears. The 1” cutout provides clearance to smoothly cut the flats and the clearance to work the shears around tight corners.

When making repetitive cuts (such as cutting panels at a hip condition) it is recommended that a template be made from a piece of drop-off panel or flash to provide fast and accurate marking of the field cut. When using panel material for the template, cut off the top portion of the panel ribs so that the template is easily laid onto the panel being marked.

C. MARKING PANELSAvoid marking the panels for cutting, etc., in a man-ner that will leave visible markings, stains, etc., on the finished roof surface. Use chalk or felt tip ink markers. Do not use graphite (lead) pencils on unpainted panel surfaces, the graphite can cause rusting of the surface.

6.0 ROOF PANEL LAYOUT

6.1 Sheeting Direction and Modularity

Although the APEC roof system is designed so it can be installed in either direction (left to right or right to left), there may be roof conditions which require a specific sheeting direction. Check the erection drawings to determine if a specific sheeting direction is required.

The recommended installation sequence is to complete each panel run from eave to ridge before starting the next panel run. This sequence will help ensure straight runs and allow the insulation to be installed immediately ahead of each panel run.

During installation of the roof, considerations must be made for maintaining panel modularity. By maintain-ing panel modularity, the roof panel sidelap and seam can be properly assembled, the proper roof coverage can be obtained, and the standard perimeter parts will fit properly without necessity of field modifications or reordering of parts, etc.Caution: Failure to maintain panel coverage width

within the specified tolerance can cause faulty roof panel seams which can result in seaming difficulty or in severe cases reduction in roof performance specifications.

The panels must be held to the width dimension of the panel as designated on the erection drawings within a 1/8” width tolerance per panel. The accumulated cover-age (start panel to finish panel) tolerance is determined by the ability to keep the panels parallel and to correctly fit and assemble the finish rake condition.

If the roof has conditions such as fixed location penetra-tions, parapets, fire walls, etc., the accumulated panel coverage may require tighter tolerances for proper fit-up and weather tightness of the roof system.

6.2 Layout & Checking for Coverage

Recommended for all roofs, but a must for large or complex roofs, is to make a layout of the actual struc-ture (field measured as described in section 3.3) so that the roof panel start and stop dimensions can be laid out to accommodate any structural misalignments.

When the optimal start and finish dimensions are de-termined, a string line should be set to precisely locate the leading edge of the start panel. After the start panel is secured and engaged with the next panel, the start panel seam will be the reference line for checking ac-cumulated panel coverage.

Panel coverage is always checked at the eave, ridge, and end splices, so that non-parallel seam (or dogleg) conditions can be detected and corrected before they become objectionable. The coverage check should be done with a measuring tape held taut and measured to the same side of the seam and always parallel to the eave, to prevent any measuring error.

Every four to six panel runs should be checked for panel modularity. This will ensure that the panels are maintaining a straight line and proper coverage is being maintained. If the panels are off module, they should be corrected by equal adjustments of the next four to six panel runs.

6.3 Appearance Considerations

Although the above stated coverage tolerance will provide for reasonable ease of installation and water tightness, such visible conditions as non-parallel panel seams, dogleg of the panel seam at the end splices,

non-parallel finish panel width, and mismatch of panel seams across the ridge, may be objectionable and should be confirmed with the customer before continuing roof installation.

7.0 INSPECTION OF ROOF ASSEMBLY DURING INSTALLATION

7.1 Importance of InspectionDuring the roof installation, all areas of the roof system assembly must be frequently inspected to ensure the correct assembly in accordance with the erection draw-ings and this installation guide.

Failure to assemble the roof system correctly will result in roof performance problems that may require costly corrective work, roof replacement and performance and damage claims, etc. Also, incorrect installation may void the performance and material warranties.

7.2 Inspection List

A. ERECTION DRAWINGSCheck that the erection drawings are available at the job site and have been reviewed for difference with the actual job conditions and differences with this instal-lation guide. Also, confirm that the drawings are the latest issue with the latest revisions and additions.

B. ROOF LAYOUTSCheck that the roof start and finish dimensions have been correctly determined based on the erection draw-ings and the actual structural conditions.

C. BEFORE INSTALLING ROOF PANELSCheck that the structural misalingments were cor-rected in accordance with Section 3.0 of this installa-tion guide.

Check that the correct eave and rake plates and eave trim are in place before installing the roof panels.

Check that the roof panel elevation, provided by the panel clip height and insulation system, matches the eave and rake plate elevation.

D. PANEL LENGTHCheck that the installed roof panels have the correct overhang at the eave and endlaps and have the correct hold back at the ridge or high eave, in accordance with the erection drawing.

E. EAVE SEALCheck that the eave sealant is in the correct position on top of the eave trim, and that the corrugation closure and eave pigtail sealant are correctly placed. Check that the eave fasteners penetrate the center of the eave sealant and into the eave plate. Check that the fasteners are not loose or stripped.

Check that the eave sealant is in complete contact with the roof panel and eave trim without any voids or gaps. Confirm that the roof panel and eave trim are clean and dry during installation and that the sealant is not wet or otherwise contaminated.

F. ENDLAP SEALCheck that the roof panel endlaps are correctly as-sembled and that the lapping panels are tightly nested without visible gaps.

Check that the sealant is in the correct position and is in complete contact with the lapped panels without any voids or gaps, especially at the radius between the panel flat and the vertical legs of the panel. Confirm that the panels are clean and dry during installation and that the sealant is not wet or otherwise contaminated.

Check that the pigtail sealant is in the correct position and seals the endlap seam notches.

Check that the cinch strap fasteners penetrate through the center of the sealant and into the back-up channel. Check that the fasteners are not loose or stripped.

Check that the endlap assembly is not bowed down caus-ing water ponding and debris accumulations.

G. RIDGE SEALCheck that the ridge closure assembly is correctly as-sembled.

Check that the sealant is in the correct position and is in complete contact with the closure and the roof panel without any voids or gaps. Confirm that the closures and roof panels are clean and dry during installation and the sealant is not wet or contaminated.

Check that the closure fasteners penetrate through the center of the sealant and into the back-up channel. Check that the fasteners are not loose or stripped.

Check that the tube sealant is installed along the back of the closure as necessary, to seal any voids around the panel seam area.

ET1-1-R0


7.2 Inspection List (Continued)

H. RAKE SEALCheck that the termination zee is correctly assembled with the termination zee splices correctly oriented for downhill watershed.

If there are roof panel endlaps, check that the endlap sealant contacts the termination zee sealant or that a pigtail sealant is applied for that purpose.

Check that the sealant is in the correct position above and below the roof panel.

Check that the termination zee sets fully on the seal-ant and that the sealant is in complete contact with the roof panel and the zee without any voids or gaps. Confirm that the roof panel and zee are clean and dry during installation and that the sealant was not wet or contaminated.

Check that the termination zee fasteners penetrate the center of the sealant and into the rake plate. Check that the fasteners are not loose or stripped.

I. PANEL CLIP ATTACHMENTCheck that the panel clips are correctly fitted to the panel without any distortion or damage of the clip tab. On sliding clips, check that the clip tab is centered on the clip base between the centering tabs.

Check that the clips are located along each panel side-lap at each roof structural or at the locations specified on the erection drawings.

Check that the panel clip fasteners are of the type, size, length, finish and quantity-per-clip as specified on the erection drawings.

Check that the panel clip fasteners are not loose or stripped. In the case of multi-layered construction, verify that the fasteners penetrated and engaged the specified structural member.

J. SIDELAPCheck that the panel sidelaps are on module (held to within the 1/8” panel width tolerance) and are as-sembled so that the male and female panel edges and panel clips are properly nested together prior to seaming.

Check that the full length of each sidelap seam is cor-rectly seamed.

Check that the factory installed sidelap sealant is in the correct position without voids or interruptions and is not damaged, wet or otherwise contaminated.

Check that the panel coverage tolerance does not exceed 1/8” per panel and that the accumulated coverage will allow proper fit and assembly of the end dams and finish rake condition and any other critical fit conditions such as penetrations, parapets, etc.

K. FLASHING AND PENETRATIONSCheck that all flashing (including penetrations) are correctly assembled and tightly fitted. Check that the required sealants are correctly positioned and in com-plete contact with the adjoining surfaces without voids or interruptions. Confirm that the sealants and adjoining surfaces are clean and dry during installation.

Check that the flashing splices are correctly lapped, sealed and fastened.

Check that the flashing is sufficiently pitched to shed water and eliminate ponding areas, especially at the critical splices, endlaps and corners.

Check that the fasteners are of the specified type, size, length, finish and spacing. Check that the fasteners are not loose or stripped. Check that the sealing washers are in full contact with the flashing surface and not distorted, split or otherwise damaged.

Along the rakes, high eave transitions and fixed penetra-tions, check that the flashing is not constrained and will allow for the roof’s expansion/contraction movement.

L. SURFACE CONDITIONSDamaged roof system surfaces are subject to corrosion and performance problems and may void the material and performance warranties.

Check that the panel and flashing surfaces are not be-ing subjected to abusive conditions such as: careless handling of panels and flashing, excessive roof traffic, abrasive or contaminated footwear, rough handling of materials, tools and equipment, or contact with abrasive materials or residue.



15

ET1-1-R0


7.2 Inspection List (Continued)

L. SURFACE CONDITIONS (continued)Check that the panel and flashing surfaces are not being subjected to exposed metal objects and materials left on the roof such as: tools, material drop-off, fasteners, wire, staples, drill and nibbler chips, saws and file particles. In the process of rusting, these materials will absorb the panel’s protective coating, thus leaving the panels exposed to rusting.

Check that the panels and flashing are not being subjected to long term wet conditions such as: standing water, consistent sources of steam, mist, spray, dripping or runoff, wet debris, wet insulation or other moisture holding material.

Check that the panels and flashing are not subjected to direct contact or runoff from corrosive materials such as: copper pipes and flashing, uncured cement, treated lumber anti-icing chemicals, strong solvents or other corrosive materials.

Check that graphite pencils were not used to mark on unpainted surfaces. The graphite marks can cause rusting.

Check that the roof materials are not subjected to damaging heat such as: cutting torches, abrasive saws, etc.

M. UNSPECIFIED MATERIALSUse of the wrong materials may cause installation and performance problems and may void the performance and material warranties.

Check that all installed roof system materials, especially sealants and fasteners, are only those which are provided or specified by APEC for your specific project and are used only as specified on the erection drawings and this installation guide.

APEC cannot be responsible for the performance of roof materials that are not provided, specified or approved by APEC.

TS-324™ Roof System Installation Guide9.0 ROOF INSTALLATION DETAILS

The following details provide graphic illustrations of the roof assembly steps. The purpose is to instruct the erector in correct and efficient assembly of the roof system.

Because of the many variations in conditions, it is im-portant that you review the job to identify and isolate the specific installation details required for your job.

Review the erection drawings for differences with these details. If differences exist, the erection drawings have precedence.

These details are arranged in a step-by-step sequence. Following this sequence ensures correct assembly and ensures that the part to be worked on will be readily accessible for the next assembly step.

Do not shortcut these assembly steps without careful consideration of the possibility of incorrect or omitted assembly and the resulting corrective rework.

To minimize confusion, the details are always oriented so that the view is from eave to ridge, with the starting rake at the left and finish rake at the right. Refer to the erection drawings to determine the required sheeting direction and rake conditions.

To help ensure weathertightness, the details emphasize proper fit-up, sealing and fastening. It is most important that only the specified sealants and fasteners be used for each condition and that they be installed correctly as shown on these details and the erection drawings.

Be sure that these critical instructions are reviewed of-ten and the roof assembly is checked at each assembly step.

9.2 PREPARATION FOR ROOF PANEL INSTALLATION

The details in this section will show the installation of the eave perimeter plate, rake perimeter plate, start clips, eave trim, eave sealant and the first run of insu-lation. These are parts that must be installed before the roof panel installation can begin.

This view shows the roof system oriented for a left-to-right sheeting direction. For right-to-left sheeting, reverse the parts orientation.

On this view, the starting rake is shown with starting clips (for a starting panel) and the finish rake is shown with a rake perimeter plate (for a termination panel). Some buildings may require a rake perimeter plate at the start-ing rake. Refer to the erection drawings for the required rake conditions.

The eave perimeter plate provides a solid attachment surface for the eave end of the roof panel.

The eave perimeter plate must be installed before the roof insulation is placed over the structurals.

Before installing the eave perimeter plate, check that the eave structural members are in a straight alignment from rake to rake. Shim the eave perimeter plate as necessary, to provide a level roof line.

Install the starting and finish ends of the eave perimeter plates flush with outer face of rake angle.

Install the outer edge of the eave perimeter plate flush with the outside face of the wall panel.

Tightly butt-join the eave perimeter plates and fasten to the eave structural as shown.

The appropriate height clips are used as start clips.

Refer to the erection drawings and the structural layout (as described in Section 6.2) to determine the start dimension.

The position of the start clips establishes the starting roof panel alignment. It is very important that the start clips are installed in a straight line, parallel to the rake line.

If the rake angles have been installed true and square, the edge of the rake angle can be used to align the start clips.

If the rake angle is not true and square, a chalk line should be used to guide the installation of the start clips.

Locate the start clips at the spacing and fasten to the rake angle, as shown.

Refer to the erection drawings to determine the specific insulation required for the project. In all cases, refer to the insulation manufacturer’s instructions for proper insulation installation and vapor seal assembly. This detail shows fiberglass blanket insulation, which is the most commonly used insulation for metal standing seam roofs.

The leading edge of each insulation run should extend approx. 12” beyond the leading edge of the roof panel. This will allow for easy assembly of the vapor barrier seal between insulation runs.

With four foot or six foot wide insulation, the first run should be installed to only cover three feet or five feet

respectively. The extra foot of width can be cut or lapped over the rake.

Use double-faced tape along the backside of the eave strut and along the rake angle to hold the insulation in place until the roof panel is installed.

In high wind areas or when using high stand-off clips, use the metal insulation retainer straps to secure the insulation to the low flange of the eave plate. In all cases, do not extend the end of the insulation onto the high flange of the eave perimeter plate.

Throughout these instructions the references to the panel will be made using the terms shown on the above illustration.

The APEC Steel roof panel is designed, so it can be sheeted in either direction, (left-to-right) or (right-to-left). Check the erection drawings and job conditions to determine if the roof must be sheeted in a specific direction.

The factory pre-punched holes are NOT to be used at the eave to install gutter or eave trim. Pre-punched holes are to be used for back up plate installation only.

The leading edge of the roof panel is the edge towards the sheeting direction. On the APEC Steel roof panel, the male seam is the always the leading edge.

Before loading the panels onto the roof structurals, orient the panels so that the male seam is the lead-ing edge.

The roof panel’s eave overhang dimension is critical as it establishes the location of endlaps and ridge cover attachment points.

The end of the roof panel extends 2” beyond the face of the eave trim unless another dimension is specified on the erection drawings.

If insulation spacer blocks are required, place the blocks on top of the insulation directly over the roof structurals. Spacer blocks are not required at the eave structural.

Position the female edge of the panel over the start clips and position the end of the panel 2” beyond the face of the eave trim.

Tilt the panel as shown so the female seam can be hooked over the start clips. Check that each clip is hooked inside of the seam.

Do not completely remove the eave sealant’s protec-tive paper at this time.

NOTE

Before fastening the roof panel to the eave plate and fastening the leading edge of the panel with the panel clips, check that the panel coverage is correct and the leading edge of the panel is straight and parallel to the rake line.

Fasten the eave end of the panel with (6) roof fasten-ers spaced as shown.

Position the fasteners to penetrate through the center of the sealant, through the eave trim and into the eave plate.

Install roof panel clips to the leading edge of the roof panel at each roof structural. Panel clips are not re-quired at the eave structural.

To install the clips, tilt the clip so that its tab can be hooked over the edge of the roof panel’s male seam. Position the clip’s base so that the clip fasteners can be installed through the holes in the base and into the roof structural, then rotate the clip down into the vertical position.

When fiberglass roof insulation is used, the panel clips normally set on top of the insulation and the insulation is compressed between the clip’s base and the top of the roof structural. In all cases, refer to the erection drawings to determine the required insulation assembly and the relationship of the panel clips to the insulation.

The proper placing of the endlap sealant is critical to the weathertightness of the roof endlaps.

Before installing the endlap sealant, the roof panel’s surface must be wiped clean and dry.

Position the sealant so that its downslope edge is uniformly 1 5/8” from the end of the panel. The seal-ant must be centered over the roof panel’s factory punched holes.

Install a continuous strip of endlap sealant along the end of the roof panel, as shown.

Check that the sealant fully contacts the roof panel’s surface and that it is completely fitted into the panel corners and around the seams.

The sealant’s protective paper helps to retain the seal-ant’s shape during installation and protects the sealant’s surface from damage and contamination. Do not remove the protective paper until immediately before the instal-lation of the up-slope roof panel.

Specific endlap sealant details are shown on the follow-ing page.

While continuing to lift up on the roof panel, rotate the panel down to rest on the insulation.

Be careful not to scrape off the seam sealant during the sidelap assembly.

IMPORTANT: Check that the male and female are fully nested and the female hook has enclosed the male lip along the entire length of the roof panel. If not, the roof panel sidelap must be correctly reas-sembled before installing the next roof panel.

CAUTIONExcessive panel coverage width

can prevent proper sidelapassembly. Check and correct

panel coverage prior to installationof the next panel.


F_TS0_031R00BRS

ET1-1-R0



The most common coverage error is the spreading of the roof panels, especially at the panel ends. This can cause excess panel coverage along the eave, endlaps and ridge.

To correct excess roof panel coverage, use rib clamps to squeeze together the panel ribs, as shown.

The rib clamps can be adjusted and locked so that they will squeeze the panel ribs to provide a consistent coverage width.

If excessive coverage has accumulated over several panel runs, do not try to correct all of the errors at one time. Corrected roof panel coverage must not be greater than 1/8” per panel. Correct accumulated coverage error by making the correction over several panel runs.

Continue process until opposite ends of the structure are reached.

End dams should be installed at the ridge along with the panel.

Caution: To ensure proper fit-up of the sidelap as-sembly, proper seaming, proper fip-up of closures, flashing, curbs, etc., it is important that each panel be held to within the 1/8” panel coverage tolerance and that overall coverage be checked frequently, and any coverage error be corrected before it ac-cumulates.

Coverage must be checked at the eave and ridge and at every endlap.

To avoid accumulation error, the coverage measurement should always be from the rake line or the starting roof panel’s seam.

To avoid measurement error, the measuring tape must be free and taut and must be parallel to the eave line or ridge line.

Improper coverage will cause difficulty in seaming.

The end dams should be installed before roof panel runs are completed. Installation of the end dams helps maintain the correct roof panel coverage at the ridge. If the end dams are installed after the roof panels are in place, roof panel coverage error may prevent proper installation of the end dams.

Check the alignment of the roof notches along the ridge. If the notches are staggered more than 1/4”, use a chalk line to establish a straight notch line. Position the chalk line so no notch extends below the line.

Using the end of the factory notch (or chalk marks) as a guide, field cut the additional notching in both male and female portions of the seam as shown.

If the ridge purlin is located too far down slope for the back-up plate to rest on the purlin or spacer block, use

a clamp to hold the back-up plate in position until after the fasteners are installed.

The back-up plate’s tabs must hook over the end of the roof panel.

Use punches to align the holes in the back-up plate with the factory punched holes in the roof panel.

The details in this section show the installation of high eave transition flashing.

The transition flashing can start or finish at either a rake trim condition or a rake transition condition.

In all cases, verify that counter flashing will:

1. Restrain the transition flashing during roof live loads and wind loads.

2. Provide a weather resistant seal between the transi-tion flashing and the wall.

9.10 EAVE GUTTER INSTALLATION

The details in this section show assembly and instal-lation of eave gutter.

Assembly of the gutter should be accomplished with care given to the final appearance. The appearance of the gutter will have a critical effect on the appear-ance of the project.

Determine which direction the building is most often viewed. Install gutter laps facing away from the most often viewed direction.

Proper downspouts are necessary to prevent gutter over-flow and roof flooding. Refer to the erection drawings to determine the required downspout size and spacing.
