About this file

This is a specification document for flashing and sheet metal work (Section 07 60 00) that establishes technical requirements for thermal and moisture protection materials and installation procedures in federal construction projects.

The specification details comprehensive requirements for exposed sheet metal items including gutters, downspouts, gravel stops, fascia, and various types of flashing (cap, valley, steeped, base, and eave). Acceptable materials include copper sheet and strip (ASTM B370), lead-coated copper (ASTM B101), galvanized steel (ASTM A653/A653M), zinc sheet and strip (ASTM B69), stainless steel (ASTM A480/A480M), and aluminum alloy extrusions (ASTM B221), with specific prohibitions against using lead, lead-coated metal, or galvanized steel in certain applications. All exposed exterior sheet metal and aluminum must receive factory-applied polyvinylidene fluoride (PVF2) or fluorocarbon coating in dry film thickness of 0.020 to 0.033 mm, with color selection from manufacturer's standard ranges; field color applications are prohibited. Installation requirements specify confined nailing to one edge only (maximum 75 mm on center), minimum overlap of 75 mm for flashing strips, base flashing extension of not less than 200 mm up vertical surfaces and 100 mm under roof covering, and counterflashing insertion in reglets positioned 230 to 250 mm above roof decks. Additional specifications address protection from dissimilar metals through painting or isolation with building felts, welding procedures for aluminum per AWS D1.2/D1.2M, roof drain flashing installation in full beds of asphalt roof cement per ASTM D4586/D4586M, scupper lining requirements with locked and soldered joints, and comprehensive field quality control procedures including daily documentation submitted to the Contracting Officer. Submittals require Government and Architect/Engineer approval for shop drawings, samples, manufacturer's instructions, and operation and maintenance data.
