INSTALLING FLOATING RAKE ANGLE
Steps:
1. At the eave of the building (looking eave to peak), align the Floating Rake Angle flush with the edge of the roof. It is
critical that the Floating Rake Angle be straight and square with the building as it controls the alignment of the
roof panels.
2. Fasten Floating Rake Angle with #14-13 Deck Screws (lengths vary per thinkness of insulation) into the center of each
slot, (1'-0" intervals). Do not overtighten screws. Movement of the Floating Rake Angle is imperative for proper
installation of the roof system.
3. If two or more Floating Rake Angles are required, butt ends of Floating Rake Angles (Do not overlap) and continue
fastening.
4. If necessary, field-cut Floating Rake Angle to terminate 6"-12" from peak of building.
5. Install Floating Rake Angle on the opposite end where the panels terminate using the same procedures as above.
6. Install Offset Rake Slide against the Floating Rake Angle, use a C-Clamp to temporary hold the Offset Rake Slide in
place.
7. If two or more Offset Rake Slides are required, butt ends of Offset Rake Slides (Do not overlap) making sure to stagger
the butt ends of the Floating Rake Angle.
8. Install a continuous row of Double Bead Tape Sealant to the side of the Offset Rake Slide
