Panel lengths should fa112 to 3 inches short of the ridge when <br /> a vented ridge is desired, and should extend 2 to 3 inches past the eave to allow a suff'icient drip <br /> edge (except as noted on pg. 3 concerning gutters). The Gulf Coast sales personnel are ready to <br /> assist customers with information specific to their particular roof. <br /> Specially-washered screws applied through the flat of the metal is the most recommended <br /> method used to attach roofing panels. _ 11/z inch screws are the commonly recommended length. <br /> 21/z inch screws are available for ridge-cap application and other special needs. For attachment to <br /> metal purlins, a mininium of#12 x 1"hex head TEK screw or equivalent is recommended, and for <br /> stitching panels and trim to panels, we recommend#14 x 7/8" lap TEK self-drilling'screws. See <br /> pages 6 and 7 for more information on screw spacing and ordering. <br /> Ordering and Applying Trim <br /> The most common flashing for met�l roofing is the ridge cap, which is used at the peak of a <br /> roof where two opposing roof slopes join. Other flashings include transition flashing,end wall <br /> and sidewall flashings, and valleys:(see diagram on right for application). Eave flashings.include <br /> gable flashing-andeav�dr_ipy�both-of_wh��l�-ar-e-o�en-applied-abov�fascic�tr-i�.—�hen-roof-pitch- - - - <br /> exceeds 5/12 (a 5 inch rise in 12 inches), the slope of the roof should be�mentioned when ordering <br /> • ridge caps, endwalls, and eave drip. When a steeper roof slope meets a lesser slope, both slopes <br /> should be mentioned when ordering transition flashing. <br /> At the gable edge the use of gable trim adds to the appearance of the structure and protects <br /> the fly-rafter, and sidewall flashing is used where the side of a panel butts up against an adjacent <br /> wall. In either case, the installer should be careful to seal between the gable rake or sidewall and <br /> panel with butyl sealant tape, and to.,fasten the trim every 6" to 12" up the slope of the roof with <br /> the appropriate screws. If eave drig is used on the gable, the number of 90 degree eave drip for.the <br /> gable should be specified separately from that used on the drip edge when ordering. <br /> To prevent penetration of water, insects, and debris at the ridge, either solid or vented <br /> closure material is inserted between.the ridge cap and the top end of the panel (shown on p. 9). <br /> Screws are applied through the ridge cap, closure; and each rib of the panels. 21/z" wood screvas or <br /> self-drilling lap screws should be used for attaching ridge caps. <br /> � � Keep Materials Dry! <br /> Paint and finishes of Gulf Coast panels and trim are designed to withstand severe rain and <br /> wet weather conditions. Neither paint, galvanized, or Galvalume finishes,however, are designed to <br /> . be in continuous contact with water for long periods of time. Damage will result if uninstalled <br /> panels or trim are allowed to remain wet in storage. Be sure to store material that will not be <br /> installed immediately in a dry location. Wet material should be air-dried and re-stacked if <br /> installation is not planned right away. <br /> (352) 498-0778 • Toll Free (888) 393-0335 • FAX (352) 498-7852 , <br /> - 5 - <br />
