INSTALLATION OF PANEL (

INSTALLING PANEL CLIPS
Note: The following procedures are based on installing panel clips over steel purlins. For fastening
clips to a substructure other than steel, (see page 40). Design wind uplift requirements and insulation
thickness must be considered for proper selection of clip type, size, and spacing. (See Systems
Components chart on page 40.)
CAUTION
If a fastener strips out, you must remove the clip and reposition so the fastener can drill a new
hole at least 3 /
8
" from the stripped hole or install an oversized fastener in the stripped hole. Fail-
ure to do this will result in weakening the roof wind uplift resistance.

Refer to the chart
for determination
of the proper clip
size. Correct clip
size must be used
for panel system to
function properly.
ROTATE CLIP OVER MALE LEG OF PANEL
STEP

6. After installing clips along the male leg of the panel, measure across the pan of the panel to confirm panel modularity.
7. If installing over insulation, some method of finding the purlins for clip location must be used. Insulation should be
installed as panels are installed allowing for ease of locating purlins.
Steps:
1. When utilizing a floating clip system, the base of the clip must be aligned with the centering tab.
2. Place the panel clip over the male leg of panel and center the base of the clip with the center of the top flange of the purlin.
3. Rotate the clip to a vertical position so that the base of the clip rests on the top flange of the purlin.
4. Fasten clip to purlin with (2) 1 /
4
"-14 x 1½" Self Driller No Washer screws. Screws must be torqued enough to pull floating
base down out of centering tabs.
5. Clips should be installed at all purlin intersections. Panel clips are not required at eave framing members.
