GENERAL INFORMATION

RECOMMENDED ERECTION PRACTICES CLAMPING PANELS Always use the special clamps to draw the high ribs tight prior to installing the MVF/ MVP panel clips, any lap screws, or eave screws. Check ahead to frame webs in each bay to help maintain proper alignment.

X

Always ensure that the female hook is correctly engaging the male leg before installing the next line of MVF/MVP clips.

X

Always work straight and true.

Any “stripped out” fasteners at the endlaps or outside/ridge closures should be immediately replaced with #17 x 1" WT fastener. Place a 1" long piece of Double Bead tape mastic over the “stripped out” hole before installing #17 x 1" WT fastener. This will allow the fastener threads to be coated with tape mastic and provide a good seal. NEVER ALLOW PANELS TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH TREATED LUMBER, LEAD, COPPER, GRAPHITE, GASOLINE OR OTHER HARSH CHEMICALS AS THIS WILL VOID THE GALVALUME® WARRANTY. Never substitute sealants, screws, etc.in areas where Chief has sent specific material. Snips, Shears and Nibblers are the only approved method of cutting roof panels. Use of any other cutting device will void the warranty on the panel.
