Note: Eave, Gutter Drip, Gutter, Valley or any low side flashing must be installed prior to installation

of roof panel. The following steps are for installing T-Armor from left to right. T-Armor may be

installed from right to left or from the center outwards. (See page 46 for installation diagrams).

STEP

Steps:

1. Place a row of Double Bead Tape Sealant across top of Eave flashing. Be sure to place sealant where fastener will

be placed when using an Offset Cleat.

2. Position the first panel so the panel rib is on top of the Eave flashing and the panel is against the vertical leg of the Offset

Rake Slide.

3. Slide the panel up the roof so it hooks onto the Offset Cleat.

4. Use a C-Clamp to hold the panel against the vertical leg of the Offset Rake Slide and Floating Rake Angle.

5. Recheck the panel overhang dimension at Eave, Ridge and Endlap if required, and adjust if necessary.

Note: It is critical that sealants be properly placed to prevent moisture leakage.

6. Apply two

" beads of Tube Sealant along the side of the rib of the panel and across the horizontal portion of the top side

of the rib directly over the Double Bead Tape Sealant on the Eave flashing. Be sure the Tube Sealant joins with the Double

Bead Tape Sealant.

7. Peel back the paper backing covering the Double Bead Tape Sealant at the Eave flashing previously installed.
8. Use #12-14x 1

" Self Driller XL screws at 1'-0" oc to fasten through the Panel, Offset Rake Slide and Floating Rake

Angle.
