INSTALLATION OF PANEL (
cont

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 44). 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 44.)
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.
Failure to do this will result in weakening the roof wind uplift resistance.
INCORRECT
CORRECT
Refer to the chart
on page 44 for
determination of
the proper clip size.
Correct clip size
must be used for
panel system to
function properly.

6. Slide next panel into place and place cap over both panels.
7. After second panel has been set in place, snap Cap over both panels and hand crimp in place (see page 56).
Steps:
1. When installing over rigid insulation, bearing plates must be use at every clip location.
2. Place the panel clip in the groove of the panel rib.
3. Rotate the clip to a vertical position so that the lower tap of the clip rest under the bottom of the panel.
4. Fasten clip to metal deck with (2) #14-13 Deck Screws (length of screws will vary depending on the thickness of the roof
assembly).
5. After installing clips along of the panel, measure across the pan of the panel to confirm panel modularity.
