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 framing 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 at every

framing member. 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. Snap the second panel in place making sure panel ends at eave are properly aligned. It is critical that

panels only be snapped in one direction.

3. Fasten Vertical Seam panel with (4) #12-14 x 1

" Self Driller XL screws through the Double Bead

Tape Sealant, flashing, and into the framing, as shown below.

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).
