1. Theoretical section properties have been calculated per AISI 2001 “Specification for the Design of Cold-formed Steel Structural Members.” Ixx and Sxx are
effective section properties for deflection and bending.
2. Allowable load is calculated in accordance with AISI 2001 specifications considering bending, shear, combined bending and shear, and deflection and ASTM E
1592 uplift testing for 24 gauge and 22 gauge. Allowable load considers the worst case of 3 and 4 equal span conditions. Allowable load does not address web
crippling, fasteners/support connection, or panel testing. Panel weight is not considered. Outward Loads for 26 gauge do not include uplift testing.
3. Deflection consideration is limited by a maximum deflection ratio of L/180 of span.
4. Allowable loads do not include a 1/3 stress increase in uplift.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The minimum recommended slope for the Vertical Seam
roof panel is 3:12 over open framing and 1:12 over solid
substrate.
Clip spacing is based upon the spacing of structural
framing members and loading requirements.
Vertical Seam panels are available in a 1
3
/
4
" seam height
with a 12", 16", or 18" width coverage.
Minimum factory cut length is 5'-0". Maximum
recommended panel length is 45'-0". Longer panels
require additional consideration in packaging, shipping, and
erection. Please consult Metal Sales for recommendations.
The fastener selection guide should be consulted for
choosing the proper fastener for specific applications.
Quantity and type of fastener must meet necessary loading
and code requirements.
NOTE: All panels are subject to surface distortion due to
improperly applied fasteners. Overdriven fasteners will
cause stress and induce oil canning across the face of the
panel at or near the point of attachment.
