OVERVIEW

The Zimmerman SS1500 is an on-site continuous panel metal roofing machine. Panel profiles vary from 300 mm (12") to 500 mm (20") wide with a standing seam height of 38 mm (1 1/2").

This on-site manufacturing eliminates the need for end laps, with continuous panel forming capabilities in lengths up to 46 m (150'). Panel clips for longer length panels to be two piece assemblies, for thermal expansion and contraction design allowances, using 20 gauge metal conforming to 150-ST-22G and 500-SB-22-g base by AMSI or Approved equivalent.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. General:Standing seam panels use a hidden fastening clip system for mechanical fastening to a solid substrate. The maximum spacing of the clips is 600 mm (24") on centre. The panels are locked together, with the clips as part of the seam, by use of a mechanical seamer.
2. Range of application: On wood or metal sloped roofs; in commercial, institutional, industrial and residential construction; for re-roofing or new construction. Plywood decking is to be a nominal 13 mm (1/2") thick or thicker.
3. Panel Attachment:

• Fasteners (Screws): Fasteners used to attach clips to plywood to be #8 x 1" long, pancake head, A-point, coated steel screw. Minimum two screws per clip. For steel decking or Z-girts the same size of screw with a pancake head, having a self-drill and tap point, and again two screws per clip.
• Roof Deck Fasteners (Panel Clips): One piece clip 64 mm (2 ½") wide by 38 mm (1 ½") high with a 16 mm (5/8") base. The minimum thickness is 22 gauge metal; fastened to a plywood deck 600 mm (24") on centre. Custom-Bilt 2SS RC1.5" standing seam roof clip.
