b. Provide sealant or tape between panels and protruding equipment, vents, and
accessories.
c. At panel splices, nest panels with minimum 6-inch end lap, sealed with sealant
and fastened together by interlocking clamping plates.

F. Clipless Metal Panel Installation: Fasten metal panels to supports with screw fasteners at each
lapped joint at location and spacing recommended by manufacturer.

G. Accessory Installation: Install accessories with positive anchorage to building and weathertight
mounting, and provide for thermal expansion. Coordinate installation with flashings and other
components.

1. Install components required for a complete metal panel system including trim, copings,
corners, seam covers, flashings, sealants, gaskets, fillers, closure strips, and similar
items. Provide types indicated by metal roof panel manufacturers; or, if not indicated,
types recommended by metal roof panel manufacturer.

H. Flashing and Trim: Comply with performance requirements, manufacturer's written

installation instructions, and SMACNA's "Architectural Sheet Metal Manual." Provide
concealed fasteners where possible, and set units true to line and level as indicated. Install
work with laps, joints, and seams that will be permanently watertight and weather resistant.

1. Install exposed flashing and trim that is without buckling and tool marks, and that is true
to line and levels indicated, with exposed edges folded back to form hems. Install sheet
metal flashing and trim to fit substrates and achieve waterproof and weather-resistant
performance.
2. Expansion Provisions: Provide for thermal expansion of exposed flashing and trim.
Space movement joints at a maximum of 10 feet with no joints allowed within 24 inches
of corner or intersection. Where lapped expansion provisions cannot be used or would
not be sufficiently weather resistant and waterproof, form expansion joints of
intermeshing hooked flanges, not less than 1 inch deep, filled with mastic sealant
(concealed within joints).

I. Gutters: Join sections with riveted and soldered or lapped and sealed joints. Attach gutters to
eave with gutter hangers spaced not more than 36 inches o.c. using manufacturer's standard
fasteners. Provide end closures and seal watertight with sealant. Provide for thermal
expansion.

J. Downspouts: Join sections with telescoping joints. Provide fasteners designed to hold
downspouts securely 1 inch away from walls; locate fasteners at top and bottom and at
approximately 60 inches o.c. in between.
1. Connect downspouts to underground drainage system indicated.

K. Roof Curbs: Install flashing around bases where they meet metal roof panels.

L. Pipe Flashing: Form flashing around pipe penetration and metal roof panels. Fasten and seal
to metal roof panels as recommended by manufacturer. Use deck-tite type graduated rubber
flashing at pipes and lightning protection penetrations. Do not place flashing at standing
seams. Coordinate roof penetrations at the field of the panel away from seams.

A. Joint Sealers - Install gaskets, joint fillers, and sealants where indicated and where required for
weatherproof performance of metal roof panel assemblies. Provide types of gaskets, fillers,

and sealants indicated or, if not indicated, types recommended by metal roof panel
manufacturer.
1. Seal side joints where recommended by metal roof panel manufacturer.
2. Prepare joints and apply sealants to comply with requirements in Section 07 9200 “Joint
Sealants.”

0.5 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

A. Manufacturer's Field Service: Engage a factory-authorized service representative to test and

inspect metal roof panel installation, including accessories. Report results in writing.

B. Remove and replace applications of metal roof panels where tests and inspections indicate
that they do not comply with specified requirements.

C. Additional tests and inspections, at Contractor's expense, are performed to determine

compliance of replaced or additional work with specified requirements.

D. Prepare test and inspection reports.

0.6 CLEANING AND PROTECTION

A. Remove temporary protective coverings and strippable films, if any, as metal panels are
installed, unless otherwise indicated in manufacturer's written installation instructions. On
completion of metal panel installation, clean finished surfaces as recommended by metal
panel manufacturer. Maintain in a clean condition during construction.

B. Replace metal panels that have been damaged or have deteriorated beyond successful repair
by finish touchup or similar minor repair procedures.
