1. Once the first panel has been installed, roll the first clip into lock position over the male leg of the

panel (see below).

2. Fasten the Vertical Seam clip to the deck with the proper type and number of fasteners (see chart on page 17).

If a fastener strips out, remove the clip and reposition it so the fastener can drill a new hole at least

" from

the stripped hole or install an oversized fastener into the stripped hole. Failure to do so will impact the system

to resist the applied loads.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install clips along the male leg of the panel from eave to peak. For certain building

codes and state or county specifications, special clip spacing may be required. Please contact Metal Sales for

specific clip and fastener spacing.

INSTALLING SECOND PANEL

1. Prior to installing the second Vertical Seam panel, Tube Sealant must be placed on the male leg of the

first panel (see below).

2. Place the second panel on top of previously installed panel so that the second hemmed panel can be

engaged with the Offset Cleat.

3. Begin snapping the panels together working from eave to peak. It is critical that panels only be snapped

in one direction.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for remaining panels.

5. Make sure all panels are properly snapped into place. Also clean any debris and excess sealant before

continuing to the next section of the roof.

6. Once installation is complete, fill the end of each panel rib with Tube Sealant (as shown below).
