This heavy-duty roof and wallpanel features classic looks and is used primarily on commercial, industrial, and steel buildingapplications. R-Panel was designed with taller ribs to increase strength and allow installation on lowerslopes down to 1 is available in a range of paint colors and in both 26 and 24 gauge steel. It is also available inunpainted Galvalume . Our paint system carries a 40 year warranty and Galvalume a 25 year R-Panel system is available in 36 coverage.

Implied warranties ofmerchantability and fitness for particular purpose are UNIFORM LOADS PER SQUARE FOOT - R and PBR PanelsNOTES: All load data is based on three or more spans (TS). For more information regarding spans or section properties, please contact your rep Allowable load based on stress is the smallest load due to bending, shear and combined bending and shear.

4 Allowable load based on deflection limit cannot exceed allowable load based on stress. These loads are for panel strength. Frames, purlins, fasteners and all supports must be designed to resist all loads imposed on the panel. Allowable uplift loads based on stress have not been increased by for wind uplift. Allowable loads for deflection are based on deflection limitation of span/180. For roof panels , self weight of the panel has to be deducted from the allowable inward load to arrive at the actual live load carrying capacity of the ksi2450 ksiAllowable Live Loads (lb/ft2) Allowable Uplift Loads (lb/ft2)Span (ft)SpanR-Panel Install GuidePage 5 of 31 Panel Installation GuideIf metal is not to be installed immediately, store inside in a well ventilated, dry location. Condensation or other moisture canform between the sheets during storage causing water stains or white rust which detracts from the appearance of the productand may affect the product s useful life.

5 Trapped moisture between sheets of painted metal can cause white rust to formunderneath the paint. This can cause the paint to flake off the panel immediately or several years later. To prevent white rustand staining, break the shipping bands on the material. Store the material on end or on an incline of at least 8 with asupporting board underneath to prevent sagging. Fan the sheets slightly at the bottom to allow for air circulation. Keep thesheets off of the ground with an insulator such as wood. Any outdoor storage is at the customer s own risk. If outdoorstorage cannot be avoided, protect the metal using a canvas cover or waterproof paper. Never cover the metal with plasticas this will cause condensation to that the structure is square and true before beginning panel installation. If the structure is not square, the panels willnot properly seal at the side laps. Green or damp lumber is not recommended. Moisture released from the damp lumber maydamage the metal panels .

6 Remove any loose metal shavings left on roof surface immediately to prevent corrosion. Keep rooffree of debris that could trap moisture on the metal, causing corrosion. The minimum pitch for roofing applications is 1 Installation InformationAlways wear heavy gloves when working with steel panels to avoid cuts from sharp edges. When power cutting or drillingsteel panels , always wear safety glasses to prevent eye injury from flying metal fragments. If you must walk on a metalroof, take great care. Metal panels can become slippery, so always wear shoes with non-slip soles. Avoid working on metalroofs during wet conditions when the panels can become extremely slippery. Walking or standing on a metal roof whichdoes not have a plywood or other deck beneath it is not recommended. However, if you must do so, always walk on thepurlins, never PrecautionsFasteningFigure 1If you wish to pre-drill fastener holes, use a cover sheet to prevent hot metalshavings from sticking to panels .

7 It is recommended that you cut panelsupside down using a nibbler. For best results, use #14 x 7/8 Lap Screws atpanel overlaps. For installation into a steel frame, use #12 x 1 (minimum)Self-Drilling Screws. For installation into a wood frame, use #10 x 1 (minimum) Wood Screws.

To protect against uplifting winds and toprovide a finished appearance, apply rake trim or otherstandard gable trim. Slopes of less than 1:12 aren trecommended.
