Double-Lok® ENGINEERING

IMPORTANT
READ THIS FIRST

CAUTION

Application and design details are for illustration purposes only, and may not be appropriate for all environmental conditions or building designs. Projects should be engineered to conform to applicable building codes, regulations, and accepted industry practices.

CAUTION

The use of any field seaming machine other than that provided by ASBC will damage the panels and void all warranties.

It will greatly facilitate DESIGNING, QUOTING, ORDERING, or ERECTING the ASBC Double-Lok® roof if you determine which system you need based on insulation requirements. Listed below are the differences between the low and high systems.

LOW SYSTEM

HIGH SYSTEM

3/8" Clearance between
panel and purlin
Without 1" Thermal Spacer for
added Insulation

1 3/8" Clearance between
panel and purlin
With 1" Thermal Spacer for
Added Insulation

LOW CLIP
LOW RAKE SUPPORT

HIGH CLIP
HIGH EAVE PLATE
HIGH RAKE SUPPORT

Floating clips have a maximum of 1" movement each direction. Articulating clips have a maximum movement of 1 1/4" each direction. Thermal calculations should be performed for each project to ensure that the thermal movement of the roof is not more than the clips can handle.

FOR ROOF PITCHES GREATER THAN 4:12, CALL ASBC

NOTES:
1. As with all standing seam roof systems, a sound insulator (EXAMPLE: blanket insulation) is required between the panel and substructure. Some composite systems require additional acoustical consideration. Call ASBC for further information.
2. All metal roofs should be designed by a registered, professional engineer for loads specified by the governing code, including the higher pressures encountered at the edge zones of the roof.

This manual is to be used by the roof system erector as a guide for the erection of the Double-Lok® roof. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ERECTOR TO INSTALL THIS ROOF USING SAFE CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES. The manufacturer is not responsible for the performance of this roof system if it is not installed in accordance with the instructions shown in this manual.
IF THERE IS A CONFLICT BETWEEN THIS MANUAL AND PROJECT ERECTION DRAWINGS, THE
ERECTION DRAWINGS WILL TAKE PRECEDENCE.
If there are any questions regarding proper installation of parts or materials on this roof system, please inquire before proceeding.
