3.1.17 Scuppers
Extend the scupper liner through and project outside of, the wall it penetrates to form a bottom drip edge against the face of the wall. Fold outside edges under 1/2 inch on all sides. Join the top and sides of the lining on the roof deck side to a closure flange by a locked and soldered joint. Join the bottom edge by a locked and soldered joint to the closure flange, where required, form with a ridge to act as a gravel stop around the scupper inlet. Provide surfaces to receive the scupper lining and coat with bituminous plastic cement.
3.1.18 Conductor Heads
Set the depth of the top opening equal to two-thirds of the width or the conductor head. Flat-lock solder seams. Where conductor heads are used in conjunction with scuppers, set the conductor a minimum of 2 inches wider than the scupper. Attach conductor heads to the wall with masonry fasteners. Securely fasten screens to heads.
3.1.19 Sheet Metal Covering on Flat, Sloped, or Curved Surfaces
Except as specified or indicated otherwise, cover and flash all minor flat, sloped, or curved surfaces such as crickets, bulkheads, dormers and small decks with metal sheets of the material used for flashing; maximum size of sheets, 16 by 18 inches . Fasten sheets to sheathing with metal cleats. Lock seams and solder. Lock aluminum seams as recommended by aluminum manufacturer. Provide an underlayment of roofing felt for all sheet metal covering.
3.1.20 Expansion Joints
Provide expansion joints for roofs, walls, and floors as indicated.
Provide expansion joints in continuous sheet metal at 40 foot intervals for copper and stainless steel and at 32 foot intervals for aluminum . A luminum gravel stops and fascia which must have expansion joints at not more than 12 foot spacing. Provide evenly spaced joints. Provide an additional joint where the distance between the last expansion joint and the end of the continuous run is more than half the required interval spacing. Conform to the requirements of Table I.
3.1.20.1 Roof Expansion Joints
Consist of curb with wood nailing members on each side of joint, bituminous base flashing, metal counterflashing, and metal joint cover.
Bituminous base flashing is specified in Roofing Section.
Provide counterflashing as detailed on Drawings and specified in paragraph COUNTERFLASHING, except as follows: Provide counterflashing with vertical leg of suitable depth to enable forming into a horizontal continuous cleat. Secure the inner edge to the nailing member. Make the outer edge projection not less than one inch for flashing on one side of the expansion joint and be less than the width of the expansion joint plus one inch for flashing on the other side of the joint. Hook the expansion joint cover over the projecting outer edges of counterflashing. Provide roof joint with a joint cover of the width indicated. Hook and lock one edge of the joint cover over the shorter projecting flange of the continuous cleat, and the other edge hooked over and loose locked with the longer projecting flange. Joints are specified in Table II.
SECTION 07 60 00 Page 15
3.1.21 Flashing at Roof Penetrations and Equipment Supports
Provide metal flashing for all pipes, ducts, and conduits projecting through the roof surface and for equipment supports, guy wire anchors, and similar items supported by or attached to the roof deck.
3.1.22 Single Pipe Vents
See Table I, footnote (d). Set flange of sleeve in bituminous plastic cement and nail 3 inches on center. Bend the top of sleeve over and extend down into the vent pipe a minimum of 2 inches . For long runs or long rises above the deck, where it is impractical to cover the vent pipe with lead, use a two-piece formed metal housing. Set metal housing with a metal sleeve having a 4 inches roof flange in bituminous plastic cement and nailed 3 inches on center. Extend sleeve a minimum of 8 inches above the roof deck and lapped a minimum of 3 inches by a metal hood secured to the vent pipe by a draw band. Seal the area of hood in contact with vent pipe with an approved sealant.
3.1.23 Roof Hatch
Instll hatch level at opening location. Butt specified roof insulation tight to hatch perimeter. Securely anchor to deck to support load.
Anchor safety rail system and ladder assist post securely in place as directed by manufacturer. Adjust hatch lide and gate to swing freely and securely latch when closed. Adjust ladder up post to raise and lower smoothly and securely lock in place.
3.1.24 Copings
Provide coping with locked and soldered seam. Terminate outer edges in edge strips. Install with sealed cover plate joints as indicated.
3.2 PAINTING
Touch ups in the field may be applied only after metal substrates have been cleaned and pretreated in accordance with manufacturer's written instructions and products.
Field-paint sheet metal for separation of dissimilar materials.
3.2.1 Aluminum Surfaces
Clean with solvent and apply one coat of zinc-molybdate primer and one coat of aluminum paint.
3.3 CLEANING
Clean exposed sheet metal work at completion of installation. Remove grease and oil films, handling marks, contamination from steel wool, fittings and drilling debris, and scrub-clean. Free the exposed metal surfaces of dents, creases, waves, scratch marks, and solder or weld marks.
3.4 REPAIRS TO FINISH
Scratches, abrasions, and minor surface defects of finish may be repaired in accordance with the manufacturer's printed instructions and as approved. Repair damaged surfaces caused by scratches, blemishes, and
SECTION 07 60 00 Page 16 variations of color and surface texture. Replace items which cannot be repaired.
3.5 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
Establish and maintain a Quality Control Plan for sheet metal used in conjunction with roofing to assure compliance of the installed sheet metalwork with the contract requirements. Remove work that is not in compliance with the contract and replace or correct. Include quality control, but not be limited to, the following:
a. Observation of environmental conditions; number and skill level of sheet metal workers; condition of substrate.
b. Verification that specified material is provided and installed.
c. Inspection of sheet metalwork, for proper size(s) and thickness(es), fastening and joining, and proper installation.
3.5.1 Procedure
Submit for approval prior to start of roofing work. Include a checklist of points to be observed. Document the actual quality control observations and inspections. Furnish a copy of the documentation to the Contracting Officer at the end of each day.
