6.0 GENERAL STEEL FLASHING, GUTTER AND TRIM

The correct installation of flashing, gutters, and trim cannot be overemphasized. The overall appearance of the finished steel building depends primarily on the quality of the installation of the flashing, gutters and trim. Keep all gutter and flashing lines straight. Make all bends sharp and neat. Be sure edges are not jagged, dented, crimped, or serrated. End joints and laps must be closely controlled.

 

 

 

 

NOTE:

Flashing should be stored off the ground to avoid moisture and handling damage. Elevate one end of the package above the lower end to encourage drainage in case of rain. Always wear gloves when handling sheet metal.
