Snap Coping-Max-C installation sequence

Field checklist

Snap Coping-Max-C - from Drexel's guide. Tick each item as it is done; print this page for the crew.

• Step 1Before installing the cleat, make sure every metal component is isolated from ACQ-treated lumber with an appropriate membrane.
• Step 1Miter-cut the cleats together as needed at corners.
• Step 1Install the first cleat working away from the corner cleat, so half of the first cleat will be under the miter.
• Step 1Install additional cleats no more than 40" on center.
• Step 1Attach each cleat with a screw into every pre-punched hole.
• Step 2Locate the miter for the corner and make sure the cleats line up centered with the ends of the miter.
• Step 2Apply a bead of tube sealant inside each end of the miter and install a splice plate into each end.
• Step 2Hook the front face of the miter over the front kick of the cleat, rotate it over the top of the parapet and push the rear face down over the rear face of the cleat to engage the rear kick.
• Step 3Make sure the cleats line up centered with the ends of the coping flashing.
• Step 3Apply a bead of tube sealant over the splice plate.
• Step 3Hook the front face of the coping over the front kick of the cleats, rotate it over the top of the parapet and push the rear face down over the rear cleat face to engage the rear kick.
• Step 3Plan the lengths of all straight pieces before cutting, so short sections do not end up next to each other.
• Step 4Pop-rivet the end cap and end term inserts into place.
• Step 4Apply a bead of tube sealant and install a splice plate into the end term or end cap.
• Step 4Hook the front drip over the front kick out on the cleat and rotate the part over the parapet.
• Step 4Restrain end caps and end terms from moving with fasteners through the roof-side leg.
• 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.
