ADJUSTING PANEL WIDTH

NOTE

Do not adjust panel width more than 1/2" on any panel area.

ARTICULATING CLIP ONLY

To stretch panel coverage, install an articulating clip at the panel endlap or
ridge with the base angled away from
the panel. As the fastener is installed through the base of the clip and into the purlin, the clip base will rotate down to the purlin causing the top of the clip to move outward, stretching the panel coverage. Install the remainder of the clips as usual.

To shrink panel coverage, install an articulating clip at the panel endlap or ridge with the base angled toward the panel. As the fastener is installed through the base of the clip and into the purlin, the clip base will rotate down to the purlin causing the top of the clip to move inward, shrinking panel cover age. Install the remainder of the clips as usual.

FIXED AND FLOATING CLIPS

To shrink panel coverage, bend the sides of the back-up plate in and install at endlap or ridge. Do not bend either side more than 1/4" Install clips as usual.
