New Construction Roof Details Install Instructions

Tools and Equipment Required

Tools:

Screw guns (two recommended, 0-1000 RPM 4.5 amp minimum, three wire)*

Five-sixteenths inch (5/16”) long shank magnetic nutsetter (two recommended plus spares)

Double-grounded, three-wire extension cords as required to reach power source

Utility knives with extra blades (minimum of two)

8-10 self-locking clamps (with pads preferred for clamping fabric in position

One pair of safety glasses per worker

Extension ladder with tie off

GoJo Brand cream hand cleaner (regular type dissolves the fabric liner sealant)

Towels for hand cleaning

25-foot tape measure

Wrenches to fit rafter brace bolts (two sets of two wrenches)

Equipment:
Lifts operable from the basket allow installation with one less crew member
and normally pay for themselves in production labor savings.

Lift to reach structure:
A. Snorklift basket type-best
B. JLG type with basket-good
C. Scissor lift- OK on solid, level surfaces
D. Power source such as grounded electrical service or generator

Note: Use scaffolding if automatic lifts are not available. Safety equipment is required for compliance with all applicable State and Federal safety standards. Once the liner system is properly installed it provides the through fall protection for the workers above.
*When drilling through 1/4” or thicker steel, it is very important to use a slow RPM/high torque screwgun. A DeWalt 269 (DW269) with 1,000RPMs is an example of a suitable tool. If the very common 2,500RPM screwgun is used to drill into a 1⁄4” steel or thicker, the electric motor in the screwgun may burn out prematurely. Plus the tips of the fasteners may burn up at an unacceptably high rate. Once the tip of a fastener is burnt it is almost impossible to use.
