FLATTENING MALE LEG BEFORE
PANEL INSTALLATION

LAST PANEL RUN

This roof system is designed to finish in the high on even or odd footage buildings, by using 24", 18", or 12" panels on the last run.

With insulation in place, install rake support along steel line.

FINISHING ON MODULE

If your roof is finishing on module, the male leg of the last panel run will need to be flattened before installation, with the exception of the first and the last 6" of each panel. This will allow for proper panel engagement at endlaps once panels are installed. Use the hand tool to flatten the male leg 6" from the starting end. (Refer to legend plate on seamer to determine the end that the seamer will start from.) With locking bar up, place seamer on male leg so that the last two rolls of the seamer are on the flattened portion of the seam. The first two rolls will be under the unflattened portion of the seam. Lower locking bar and run seamer to within 6" of the end of the panel. Raise locking bar and remove seamer. Repeat this procedure for all panels. Install panels as usual. Use hand tool to finish the unflattened portion of the male leg at the eave, ridge and endlaps.

FINISHING OFF MODULE

If the panel ends 2"-4" away from the rake support due to an out-of-square condition or other factors, simply install the panel clips and run seamer over male leg. This will lock the clips in place and flatten the male leg. This system allows for the roof to be trimmed in the high.

CAUTION

The seamer will not support itself while flattening the male leg on the last run. It must be supported during this operation.
