Fascia LT installation sequence

Field checklist

Fascia LT - from Drexel's guide. Tick each item as it is done; print this page for the crew.

• Step 1Apply water cut-off mastic and place the face of the cleat squarely on the edge of the roof membrane, over the wood nailing plate.
• Step 1Press it firmly into position and screw through the pre-punched face holes.
• Step 1At a miter, miter-cut the cleat into the corner as required to keep a continuous cleat line, then fasten at a minimum 6" in each direction from the corner, or closer at special conditions.
• Step 1Butt the cleat ends and apply tube sealant over the butted ends.
• Step 2Locate the miters and splice plates for the corners.
• Step 2Apply a bead of tube sealant inside the miter ends and place a splice plate under each end of the miter sections.
• Step 2Hook the miter onto the roof-side kick up of the cleat and push it down onto the lower kick out of the cleat.
• Step 3Apply a bead of tube sealant inside the end cap or end term and place a splice plate under each end.
• Step 3Hook the drip of the end cap or end term onto the roof-side kick up of the cleat and push it down onto the lower kick out of the cleat.
• Step 4Apply a bead of tube sealant onto the splice plate of the miter, end term or end cap.
• Step 4Hook the flashing onto the roof-side kick up of the cleat and push it down onto the lower kick out of the cleat.
• Step 4Leave a 1/8" gap between lengths for thermal expansion.
• Step 4Plan the lengths of all straight pieces before cutting, so short sections do not end up next to each other.
• Step 4There should be a splice plate at every joint.
• NoteIsolate all metal parts from ACQ-treated wood, or any other galvanically incompatible material, with an appropriate membrane.
• NoteAppliance attachments - lightning rods, signs, antennae - that penetrate the water seal, set up a galvanic reaction or otherwise compromise the roof edge system are to be eliminated or isolated, per section 8.0 of ANSI/SPRI ES-1. Isolate appliances from the edge system or do not attach them to it; the lightning protection manufacturer gives the attachment instructions.
