General Notes
The attached installation details are intended to be a design aid and do not depict all situations. Modifications are the responsibility of the designer/user and should take into account climate conditions such as wind and snow, governing code requirements, and the actual usage and maintenance of the structure.

Applications:
Flex Series can be utilized as a wall panel installed in the vertical or horizontal orientation. It shall not be utilized for roof applications. Flex Series can be used over solid substrates or over spaced supports. This installation guide depicts clip attached panels installed using flush mounted clips. Details for direct fastened panels or clip attached panels using standoff clips would be similar.

Flashings:
Where possible, flashings should be lapped away from prevailing winds. Certain flashings should be supported if it is likely that equipment (ladder, etc.) will be used against them. Check with AEP Span any time you intend to specify a prefinished flashing in a gauge or finish different than the Flex Series. It is good practice to specify that all flashings be of the same material (gauge, color, finish) as the roof panels to ensure long-term durability. Field-painted flashings rarely equal the durability and colorfastness of factory baked-on paint systems. The enclosed details have minimized the use of exposed fasteners where possible. The edges of flashings have also been shown hemmed to strengthen and to minimize the exposure of cut edges.

Flashing design and fabrication is generally the responsibility of the contractor. For convenience, we have provided some typical flashing drawings on our website at http://www.aepspan.com/roof/prodDetailad08.ht ml?id=35 . Applicable Flex Series flashing part numbers are referenced within this installation guide. Note that flashing shapes and dimensions may vary greatly based on project requirements. Installation details and flashings referenced within are for general design guidance only.

Condensation, Insulation, & Ventilation:
It is the designer's responsibility to determine the need and composition of condensation control materials including insulation and vapor retarders, as well as ventilation requirements.
Metal wall products are susceptible to condensation and its control should be carefully considered.

Thermal Movement:
Both panels and flashings must allow for thermal movement (expansion and contraction) of the materials, especially where long lengths are used. Appropriate gaps or provisions must be provided to accommodate thermal movement.

Oil Canning:
Flat metal surfaces often display waviness commonly referred to as 'oil canning'. This can be caused by variations in raw material, processing variations, product handling, or variations in the installation substrate. Oil canning is a characteristic, not a defect, of panels manufactured from light-gauge metal. To reduce potential for oil canning, substrates should not deviate from a flat plane more than 1/4 inch in 20 feet, or 1/8 inch in 5 feet. Oil canning is not a cause for panel rejection. Additional technical information is available upon request.

References:
The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association Inc. (SMACNA) manual is an excellent reference for sheet metal contractors. It’s guidelines for underlayments, gutter and downspout size requirements, and expansion/contraction of metals and flashing joints should be followed.

Technical Assistance:
Contact your AEP Span Sales Representative for additional information.
