Classic Rib®Install Guide

SAFETY

STUDY APPLICABLE OSHA AND OTHER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS BEFORE

FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

The installation of metal roof systems is a dangerous procedure and should be supervised by trained knowl-

edgeable erectors. USE EXTREME CARE WHILE INSTALLING ROOF PANELS. It is not possible for Metal

Sales to be aware of all the possible job site situations that could cause an unsafe condition to exist. The erec-

tor of the roof system is responsible for reading these instructions and determining the safest way to install the

roof system.

These instructions are provided only as a guide to show a knowledgeable, trained erector the correct part

placement one to another. If following any of the installation steps would endanger a worker, the erector should

stop work and decide upon a corrective action.

Provide required safety railing, netting, or safety lines for crew members working on the roof.

Do not use the roof panel as a walking platform. The roof panels will not withstand the weight of a person

standing at the edge of the panel.

Do not stand on the roof panel until the panels have been attached.

The application and detail drawings in this manual are strictly for illustration purposes and may not be appli-

cable to all building designs or product installations. All projects should conform to applicable building codes

for that particular area. It is recommended to follow all building regulations and standard industry practices.

Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation is not responsible for the performance of the roof system if it is not

installed in accordance with the suggested instructions referenced in this installation manual or in the product

overview. (See Product Manual or Product Technical Literature). If there is a conict between this manual and

the actual erection drawings, the erection drawings are to take precedence.

Prior to ordering and installing materials, all dimensions should be veried by eld measurements.

Metal Sales reserves the right to modify, without notice, any details, recommendations or suggestions. Any

questions you may have regarding proper installation of the roong system should be directed to your Metal

Sales representative, see pages 2 and 3.

Consult Metal Sales for any additional information not outlined in this manual.

This manual is designed to be utilized as a guide when installing Post Frame and Residential roong systems.

It is the responsibility of the erector to ensure the safe installation of this product system.

1. Apply a row of Tape Sealant across the top leg of the Eave Molding along the width of the

building.

2. Align and place Inside Closures over the Tape Sealant. It is critical that Inside Closures are

square to building as this will control the alignment of the panels. (See page 17 to check

building square).

3. Apply a row of Tape Sealant across the top of the Inside Closure (Not shown for clarity).

POST FRAME PANEL INSTALLATION

NOTE: -Eave Molding, Gutter and Valley Flashings must rst be installed before panel installation can begin.

-Panels can be installed going from either left to right or right to left / looking from eave to peak.

INSTALLING FIRST PANEL

INSTALLING INSIDE CLOSURES

1. Install the rst panel over the Inside Closure allowing desired overhang. Make sure the panel is

square to the eave and rake.

2. Fasten through panel, closure and sealants into decking with appropriate amount of fasteners to

meet local building code. (See fastening patterns on page 6). Fasteners must penetrate closure and

sealant.

3. After securing panel at eave, repeat the fastening pattern at all panel support locations.
