Note: The following procedures are based on installing panel clips over steel purlins. For fastening
clips to a substructure other than steel, (see page 20). 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 20).
Steps:
1. Check vertical tab of clip is centered with the base. 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. After installing clips along the male leg of the panel, measure across the pan of the panel to confirm
panel modularity. Use the Spacer Bar to hold panel modularity.
Refer to page 63 for
installation of clip over
rigid insulation.
