Ordering Roof Panels and Screws Care should be taken to order panels af the correct length to avoid havin.g to make corrective measures after purchase. Panel lengths should fal12 to 3 inches short af the ridge when a vented rrdge is desired, and should extend 2 to 3 inches past the eave to allow a sufficient drip edge (except as nated an pg. 3 concerning gutters). The Gulf Caast sales personnel are ready to assist custamers with information specific ta their particular roof. SpeciaIly-washered screws applied through the flat of the metal is the most recomrnended method used to attach roofing panels. 11/z inch screws are the comrnonly recornmended length. 211z inch screws are available for ridge-cap application and ather special needs. For attachment ta metal purlins, a minimum af#12 x 1"hex head TEK screw or equivalent is recommended, and for stitching paz�els and trim to panels,we recommend#14 x 718"lap TEK self-drilling screws. See pages 6 and 7 for more infarmation on screw spacing and ordering. Ordering and Applying Trim The most common flashing for metal roofing is the i-idge cap, which is used at the peak af a roof where two oppasing roof slopes join. Uther flashings include transition fCashing,end wttll and sidewall flashings, and valleys (see diagram on right for application). Eave flashings include gable flashing and eave drip, bath of which are aften applied abave fuscicx trim. When raaf pztch exceeds S/l.2 (a 5 inch rise in 12 inches), the slope af the roof should be mentioned when ardering ridge caps, endwalls, and eave drip. When a steeper roof slape meets a lesser slope,both slapes shouid be mentianed when ardering transition flaslung. At the gable edge the use of gable trim adds ta the appearanee af the str�zcture and pratects the fly-rafter, and sidewall flashing is used where the side of a panel butts up against an adjacent wall. In either case,the installer should be careful to seal between the gable rake or sidewall and panel with butyl sealant tape, and to fasten the trim every 6" to 12" up the slope of the roof with the apprapnate screws. If eave drip is used ar�the gable, the number af 90 degree eave drip for the gable should be specified separately from that used on the drip edge when ordering. To prevent genetration of water, insects, and debris at the ridge, either solid or vented closure material is inserted between the ridge cap and the top end of the panel (shown on p. 9). Screws are applied through the ridge cap,closure, and each rib of the panels. 2i12" waod screws or self-drilling lap screws should be used for attaching ridge caps. Keep Materials Dry! Paint and finishes of Gulf Caast panels and trim are designed ta withstand severe rain and wet weather conditions. Neither paint, galvanized, or Galvalume finishes, however, are designed to be in cantinuous contact with water for lang periods of time. Damage will result if uninstalled , panels or trim ttre attowed to remain wet in starage. Be sare to store zxiaterial that will not be installed immediately in a dry location. Wet material should be air-dried and re-stacked if installation is not planned right away. (352� 498-0778 •Toll Free �888� 393•Q335 + FAX (352� 498-7852 - 5 -
