BattenLok HS

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document provides technical installation information for the BattenLok® HS Mechanically Seamed Roof System, emphasizing the importance of reading the manual thoroughly before installation to ensure compliance with manufacturer details and warranty requirements. It advises inspecting all panels and accessories prior to installation and highlights that project installation drawings take precedence over manual details in case of conflicts.

Ice Dam Disclaimer
MBCI designs its roofs to meet load requirements, including snow loads, but disclaims responsibility for issues arising from ice dam situations. Recommendations include using field seamed panels, eliminating cold eave overhangs, ensuring adequate insulation and heat distribution, and considering self-regulating heating cables.

Engineering Data
The document provides engineering data for customers and design professionals, recommending the use of the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members and applicable building codes to determine environmental loads.

General Information
Includes a product checklist, panel orientation, installation guidelines, and preparatory requirements. It also covers unloading, handling, and panel storage procedures.

Installation Sequence
The installation process is detailed in a step-by-step sequence, covering rake attachment, eave installation, thermal spacer for high systems, panel installation, clip installation, endlap, ridge, and subsequent runs. Special techniques for UL 90 light transmitting panel installation, curb installation, and pipe penetration are also included.

Architectural Details
Provides architectural details for various roof configurations, including open framing, fixed and floating eaves, ridges, and parapets. It includes specific instructions for different types of gutters and trims.

Conclusion
The document concludes with a note on the potential for changes in product specifications and designs, advising users to ensure they have the latest information available.

Product Specifications
The BattenLok® HS panels are structural roofing panels available in 12" and 16" widths, designed for roof slopes of 1/2:12 or greater. They are available in various gauges (24 and 22) and finishes, including smooth striated, embossed striated, and with pencil ribs. End sealant is required at eave and valley conditions.

Installation Guidelines
The document outlines the need for proper bracing to conform to A.I.S.C. or A.I.S.I. specifications, as the BattenLok® HS system does not provide diaphragm capabilities or purlin stability. It highlights the importance of avoiding panel distortion by ensuring the substructure is on an even plane and the necessity of using sound attenuation materials to prevent "roof rumble."

Engineering and Design Considerations
Includes a Thermal Spacer Selection Chart to guide the use of thermal spacers based on insulation thickness. It warns against restricting thermal expansion and contraction of the panels and advises against unnecessary foot traffic on the panels. Detailed engineering data, including section properties and allowable uniform loads for different span types, are provided.

Compliance and Approvals
The BattenLok® HS system complies with various Underwriters Laboratories standards, including UL-580 for uplift resistance and UL-263 for fire rating. It also carries a Class 4 rating under UL-2218 for impact resistance and has been evaluated by the ICBO Evaluation Service, Inc. for compliance with the 1997 Uniform Building Code.

Specifications and Load Capacities
Detailed specifications for BattenLok® HS panels focus on load capacities for different span types and gauges. The panels are designed with a yield strength (Fy) of 50 KSI, and the load capacities are specified for single, 2-span, 3-span, and 4-span configurations. The document emphasizes that the weight of the panel is not deducted from allowable loads and that these loads are not applicable for wind uplift resistance.

Section Properties
The section properties for negative and positive bending are provided for 24 and 22 gauge panels, including the moment of inertia (Ixe), section modulus (Sxe), and maximum allowable bending moment (Maxo).

Handling and Storage Instructions
Panels should be lifted by the seam, not the ends, and require multiple people for panels over 10 feet to prevent buckling. Bundles should be stored off the ground to allow air circulation and prevent water damage. Prolonged storage is discouraged to avoid rust or water marks. Protective gear is recommended during handling, and OSHA regulations must be followed.

Installation Overview
Provides detailed instructions for the installation of BattenLok® HS panels, focusing on various components such as fasteners, rake support, and seaming operations. It includes specific guidelines for handling different panel widths and the use of termination trims to ensure proper sealing.

Seaming Operation
The seaming process involves both hand and electric seamers. Hand seamers are used initially to crimp panels at each clip, followed by electric seamers for complete seaming. Safety precautions include supervising seamer operation, using safety lines, and ensuring proper cord management.

Outside Closure Installation
Panels must be folded to allow for outside closure installation. Tri-Bead tape sealer is used across the panel width, and closures are attached with Fastener #17. Proper sealing is emphasized to prevent water ingress.

Special Erection Techniques
Covers the installation of light transmitting panels and roof curbs, including instructions for field notching panels, installing stiffener plates, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

Safety and Compliance
The document repeatedly highlights the user's responsibility to comply with State, Federal, and OSHA regulations, particularly regarding safety measures to prevent fall-through incidents during installation.

Floating Eave with Eave Trim
Instructions for using hemmed panel attachment when ridge, high side eave, or endlap is fixed to substructure to prevent sliding. Not suitable for roof slopes less than 3:12.

Ridge and Eave Details
Includes installation instructions for ridge and eave details, emphasizing the use of Tri-Bead tape sealer and proper fastener placement.

Panel Maintenance
Avoid contact with dissimilar materials to prevent galvanic corrosion. Use long-life fasteners in exposed applications to avoid rust. Protect panels from masonry products, strong acids, bases, and solvents.

General Information
Do not apply coatings or patching materials to panel surfaces. Galvalume Plus® panels may have shade variations; prepainted panels are recommended for uniform appearance.

Specifications and Product Information
Shade variations in products are expected and should not be grounds for rejection. MBCI reserves the right to change or discontinue products without obligation. For the most current information, it is advised to visit their website.

Procedures and Recommendations
Application details provided are for illustration purposes and may not suit all environmental conditions, building designs, or panel profiles. Projects should adhere to applicable building codes, regulations, and industry practices.

Contact Information
Lists contact details for various MBCI locations across the United States.
