The BUYER/END USER is responsible for overall project coordination. All interface, compatibility, and design considerations
concerning any materials not furnished by ICON Building Systems are to be considered and coordinated by the BUYER/END
USE CUSTOMER. Specific design criteria concerning this interface between materials must be furnished before release for
fabrication or ICON Building Systems assumptions will govern (Section 4 and Commentary, AISC Code of Standard Practice
9th Edition).
It is the responsibility of the BUYER/END USER to ensure that ICON Building Systems drawings/plans complies with the
applicable requirements of any governing building authorities. The supplying of sealed engineering data and drawings for
the metal building system does not imply or constitute an agreement that ICON Building Systems or its design engineers are
acting as the engineer of record or design professional for a construction project. These drawings are sealed only to certify
the design of the structural components furnished by ICON BUILDING SYSTEMS.
The BUYER/END USER is responsible for setting of anchor bolts and erection of steel in accordance with ICON Building
Systems “For Construction” drawings only. Temporary supports such as guys, braces, false work, cribbing or other elements
required for the erection operation shall be furnished and installed by the erector. No items should be purchased from a
preliminary set of drawings, including anchor bolts. Use only final “For Construction” drawings. (Section 7 AISC Code of
Standard Practice, 9th Edition)
ICON Building Systems is responsible for the design of the anchor bolt to permit the transfer of forces between the base plate
and the anchor bolt in shear, bearing and tension, but is not responsible for the transfer of anchor bolt forces to the concrete
or the adequacy of the anchor bolt in relation to the concrete.
Unless otherwise provided in the Order Documents, ICON Building Systems does not design and is not responsible for the
design, material and construction of the foundation or foundation embedment. The END USE CUSTOMER should assure himself
that adequate provisions are made in the foundation design for loads imposed by column reactions of the building, other
imposed loads, and bearing capacity of the soil and other conditions of the building site.
It is recommended that a Registered Professional Engineer experienced in the design of such structures design the anchorage
and foundation of the building. (Section A10 1996 MBMA Low Rise Building Systems Manual)
Normal erection operations include the corrections of minor misfits by moderate amounts of reaming, chipping, welding or
cutting, and the drawing of elements into line through the use of drift pins. Errors which cannot be corrected by the foregoing
means or which require major changes in member configuration are to be reported immediately to ICON Building Systems
by the BUYER/END USE CUSTOMER, to enable whoever is responsible either to correct the error or the approve the most
efficient and economic method of correction to be used by others. (Section 7 AISC Code of Standard Practice, 9th Edition)
Neither the fabricator nor the BUYER/END USER will cut, drill or otherwise alter his work, or the work of other trades,
to accommodate other trades, unless such work is clearly specified, the BUYER/END USE CUSTOMER is responsible for
furnishing complete information as to materials, size location and number of alterations prior to preparation of shop
drawings. (Section 7 AISC Code of Standard Practice, 9th Edition)

INTRODUCTION
ICON Building Systems produces high quality, pre-engineered metal buildings. For your new building to yield optimum
integrity and durability, proper assembly is required. This manual provides detailed and general assembly instructions. The
ICON Building Systems Erection Manual is intended to be an aid to your Pre-Engineered Drawings, which dictate specific
building parts and construction details. ICON Building Systems assumes that only an experienced, knowledgeable erector
with trained crews and proper equipment will perform the assembly.
The manufacturer(s) is committed to producing quality-building components that can be safely assembled. It is a top priority
to always utilize proven and safe procedures while employing accident prevention methods. The safety practices at the job
site are beyond the control of the manufacturer(s). To help ensure worker safety, adhere to Local, State and Federal safety
and health standards. Make certain all employees know the safest and most productive way of erecting a building. Take
careful note of any overhead electric lines or other utilities to avoid hazards and damage.
Post Emergency telephone numbers. Everyone present should know location of first aid stations and emergency procedures
at the site.
The manufacturer intends that this manual be interpreted and administered with sound judgment consistent with good safety
practices.
It is understood that the manufacturer(s) of the metal building and/or components is not engaged in the erection/assembly
of its product(s). The provided erection suggestions are intended only as a guide as to how the components should be
assembled. The expertise and skills of the erection crew(s) as well as the available equipment will determine the customer’s
satisfaction and quality of the completed building.
It is important to research and investigate any vendor or contractor for comparing price, quality, and time of completion
as related to the assembly of your new building. The manufacturer(s) will answer any questions that may arise but will not
physically be involved in the assembly process. Any agreement or representation between dealer or contractor and buyer
concerning delivery, construction, modifications or other items are between the parties thereto.
The manufacturer(s) is not liable for the quality of erection, erection safety procedures, poor foundation design, or assembly,
site selection and preparation, including soil and drainage testing or the negligence of other parties. Due to variations in
loading and zoning requirements, it is the customer’s responsibility to make certain that the building conforms to all codes. At
an additional cost, ICON Building Systems can engineer and supply building components to meet special requirements.
Moderate cutting and reaming or correcting minor misfits are considered part of the assembly process. Any fabrication
errors preventing proper assembly or the fitting of parts by moderate use of reaming, chipping, or cutting should be reported
to the manufacturer(s), so that he may either correct the error or approve the method of correction to be used.
To ensure against any loss or damage, it is the customer’s responsibility to purchase and maintain liability insurance for
complete assembly process and thereafter.
To the best of our knowledge, this information is accurate. However, ICON Building Systems disclaims any responsibility for
damages that may result from the use of this manual since the actual erection and assembly operations and conditions are
beyond our control.
Prior to construction, it is recommended that you read the erection manual and thoroughly study the “Pre-Engineered
Drawings”. Understanding the assembly process allows the erector to properly plan the assembly and help to avoid
unnecessary delays. It is the customer’s responsibility to be familiar with all laws and regulations that govern permitting,
labor and employment, safety, materials handling and disposal, and any other issues which may apply. A copy of this manual
may be obtained at a nominal cost.
BUILDING SITE ASSESSMENT

A.1. Ensure the transport company has sufficient permission and access to the building site.
A.2. To perform the tasks required for building assembly, confirm the building site has adequate workspace.
A.3. The availability of any required utilities should also be considered at this time.

FOUNDATION
General Information
Foundation design and construction are important to the assembly process. To ensure optimum integrity of your new building,
the foundation must meet certain design criteria and load conditions. It is required that all building foundations be designed
by an experienced foundation engineer, and coordinated with all local city, county and state codes. This engineer may also
provide recommendations on excavation, drainage, formwork, reinforcing steel, and concrete proportioning. The customer
is solely responsible for the quality of the foundation. Improper foundation construction will limit the building’s performance,
which may lead to costly repair(s). The foundation should be sharply formed with true corners, straight sides, and a level top.
This will allow for proper seating and alignment of all building components. Strict adherence to OSHA and other local codes
or laws governing “shoring of excavation to prevent accidental
cave-ins” is critical.
ICON Building Systems will furnish anchor bolt drawings to outline basic guidelines and considerations for foundation
design. Careful consideration of the following notes will be helpful in completing the foundation. Your new building has been
manufactured to extremely close tolerances; therefore your foundation must posses the following characteristics.
Warning: The accuracy of foundation construction and anchor bolt settings is the most important factor in achieving trouble-free
component alignment and fit-up. Foundation errors and mis-location of anchor bolts are among the most frequent and troublesome errors
made in metal building construction. The following procedures and methods should help to minimize these costly errors and delays.
Safety Precaution: Always follow all OSHA safety recommendations.
Notice: The foundation and erection contractor(s) should supply all necessary tools and equipment.
1. Your foundation must posses the following characteristics.
1.1. It is recommended that the foundation be designed by an experienced foundation engineer, and coordinated with all
local city, county and state codes.
1.2. The foundation must be square, level and smooth.
1.3. Anchor bolts must be set within +/- 1/16” of the specified anchor bolt drawing dimensions.
Notice: The foundation contractor is responsible for providing all “embedded” structural steel, i.e.: wire mesh, reinforcing bars,
and anchor bolts.
Foundation Layout
Regardless of the type of foundation that is used and its specific configuration, the foundation outline should be carefully and
accurately laid out before any excavation is made. Whenever possible, a transit or similar means should be used to layout
the foundation perimeter. This will ensure accurate placement of corner measures and in turn, ensure a square foundation.
2. Confirm the foundation is square and level. (Figure 01)
2.1. Measure diagonally to the farthest points of the foundation frame / string-line.
2.2. Adjust the frame / string-line as
necessary until the two diagonal
dimensions are equal. le vel
2.3. If the diagonal lengths are equal,

the framing is square.

Setting Anchor Bolts

Precaution: To reduce the risk of anchor bolt(s) pulling loose, do not erect any building components on “green” concrete. Concrete that
has not cured properly may be damaged by erection equipment or building component affects. Normal Portland cement concrete should
cure at least seven days, and high-early-strength concrete at least three days before the structural columns are erected.
Precaution: Due to tight tolerances in which your building was manufactured, it is extremely important that all anchor bolts are accurately
placed (+/- 1/16”) in accordance with the provided anchor bolt plan.
3. Prior to pouring concrete, study carefully the following general notes describing size,
type and position of anchor bolts. (Figure 02)
3.1. Use ASTM A-307 anchor bolts or equivalent containing a thread length of at least 2-1/2”. (Not supplied by
ICON BUILDING SYSTEMS.)
3.2. Anchor bolts should project at least 2” above the concrete surface. (Refer to Anchor Bolt setting plan)
3.3. Prior to pouring the concrete use duct tape to wrap and protect the bolt threads.
Tip: All anchor bolts should be held in place with a template or similar means in order to maintain a plumb setting during the pouring of
the concrete. Refer to the anchor bolt plan dimensions then make the necessary quantity of templates out of plywood or equivalent. All
templates should be prepared in advance so they can be quickly nailed in place. Drill air relief holes in the template to allow trapped air to
escape. When floating concrete, vibrate until wet concrete seeps though the top of air relief holes.
Important: A final inspection of all foundation requirements should be conducted prior to pouring concrete. MAKE SURE ALL
FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS ARE PRESENT AND ACCURATE!!!

UNLOADING MATERIALS
Notice: The transport vehicle must gain access to the building site from the adjacent highway or road. Such access should be prepared in
advance of arrival. All obstructions, overhead and otherwise, must be removed and the access route graveled or planked if the soil will not
sustain the heavy wheel loads.
Notice: The availability of any required utilities should also be considered in advance. Take careful note of any overhead electric lines or
other utilities to avoid hazards and damage (Notify your utility company(s) if necessary).
Tip: Protect the edges of the concrete from chipping or cracking due to truck traffic.
Safety Precaution: Materials stored on the slab proves efficient, but may subject workers to possible injury. Develop a comprehensive
safety awareness program in advance to familiarize the work force with the unique conditions of the site, and the building materials, along
with the appropriate “Safe Work” practices that will be employed.
Shipment Arrival Time

Every effort will be made to see that the carrier arrives at the job site on the requested day and at the requested hour.
Manufacturer makes no warranty and accepts no responsibility for costs associated with a shipment not arriving at a
requested time unless a separate agreement has been made in writing for a guaranteed arrival time.
Shipment Inspection and Receiving

4. Prior to unloading any material from the transport vehicle, perform the necessary inspections.
Notice: Upon shipment arrival, inspect for quantities and damages. Damaged or defective material, regardless of the degree of damage,
must be noted on the shipping documents by the Customer/Builder and acknowledged in writing by the carrier’s agent. The Manufacturer(s)
is not responsible for material damaged in unloading, nor for packaged or nested materials, including but not limited to, fasteners, sheet
metal, “C” and “Z” sections and covering panels that become wet and/or damaged by water while in the possession of others. Packaged
or nested material that becomes wet during transit must be unpacked, unstacked and dried by the Customer/Builder.
Notice: If the carrier is the Manufacturer, the Customer/Builder must make claim for damage directly to the Manufacturer. The
Manufacturer is not liable for any claim whatsoever, including but not limited to, labor charges of consequential damages resulting from
the Customer/Builder use of damaged of defective materials that can be detected by visual inspection. If any discrepancies are found,
immediately file the necessary claims with the carrier; then notify the ICON Building Systems of the claim. Failure to perform the necessary
inspections may result in settlement difficulties.
Excessive Material: The Manufacturer reserves the right to recover any materials delivered in excess of those required by the Order
Documents.
Safety Precaution: To prevent injury from falling material, do not release the load tie-downs until confirmation has been made that the
shipment is securely positioned and did not shift during transit.
4.1. If discrepancies are present due to damages or shortages, immediately file a report with the carrier at the
site. A claim should be sent to ICON BUILDING SYSTEMS, no later than five (5) days after delivery.
Notice: When filing claims with the carrier or manufacture, itemize the parts in question, quantities received, quantities ordered, customer
and shipper contact information, and invoice number(s). This procedure is for your protection. Shortages or damages discovered later than
five (5) days, can be caused by theft, vandalism, misplacement, or other causes beyond the manufacturer(s)’ control, therefore neither the
carrier nor manufacture can accept responsibility.

IBS_01E Page
5. Pre-plan the strategic unloading of materials.

Notice: Color coated, Galvanized, and Galvalume® materials provide excellent service under many weather conditions, but while
stacked together these component are susceptible to damage from prolonged periods of contact with moisture. If there is evidence of
moisture during unloading, the panels should be separated, dried, and stored out of the weather to prevent permanent discoloration.
Discolored Galvanized steel is not a reason for rejection of material. Never install any material if its quality is in question. These panels are
quality merchandise, which merits cautious handling. Prohibit people from walking on the components.
Do not handle panels roughly. Packages of panels must be lifted from the truck with extreme care to ensure that damage does not occur to
the corners, sides, or ribs.
Notice: While each job varies in size and condition, layouts will vary as well. Rigid frame columns and rafters are positioned for rising
while girts, purlins, endwall columns and braces are positioned according to each bay.
5.1. As materials are unloaded, to minimize lifting and re-handling during assembly, locate the parts near where they will
be used. (Figure 03)
5.1.1. Unload and store all materials in a careful, safe and orderly manner. Job sites where storage space is restricted
require detailed planning. By employing an efficient material layout plan, you can eliminate wasted time and
costly double handling of materials. While set procedures are not possible in all cases, special consideration
should be given.
Notice: Trucks are loaded to maximize efficiency, trailer weight and ensure safety. Unfortunately, the shipping department cannot load
trucks per customer request. Exercise extreme caution when unloading materials. Beware of overhead obstructions and power lines.

5.2. All parts are identifiable, but all secondary members are numbered for positive identification (purlins, girts, eave struts,
door jambs, headers, etc.). To ensure the correct parts and quantities have been received, carefully compare part
numbers to the shipping list(s). Note any discrepancies on the Bill of Lading, as the shipment is unloaded.
Notice: Panels, screws, clips, etc. are not numbered.
Tip: Keep in mind that once erection starts, crews and equipment must be able to maneuver accordingly.
Safety Precaution: To avoid damaging materials, exercise extreme care when unloading. A forklift or crane is necessary for unloading
metal building components. A tractor with loading forks may be used as well. Unloading components should not be attempted with a small
farm tractor. The weight of some bundled components may exceed 3,000 lbs.
- On a 30’ X 40’ building, bundled wall and roof panels may exceed 1,500 lbs.
- On a 30’ X 40’ building, bundled purlins and girts may exceed 1,000 lbs.
Notice: Bundled components are pre-arranged and coordinated for easy installation. For example: Endwall panels are stacked in a length-
coordinated fashion, in groups of four, so that panel positioning is simplified. If bundles are broken out and separated, it may prove difficult
for matching components to the proper location(s).
5.3. To prevent long panels from bending, spread the forks as wide as possible. At times, it may be necessary to lift loads
with a crane and spreader bar. (Figure 04)
Fig. 04
RIGHT Use the appropriate lift accessories with

nylon belts to help prevent bending panels.
Spread forks minimum 5 feet to

help prevent bending panels.
WRONG

IBS_01E Page 10
5.4. To encourage water drainage and allow air circulation, use wood blocking (i.e.: 2 x 4s, 2 x 6s, 4 x 4s, etc.) to elevate
building components. To prevent panel bending and warping, do not space wood blocking more than 7 feet apart.
(Figure 05)
5.4.1. All material such as panels, purlins, girts, etc. must be stored on a slight angle.
5.4.2. Rigid frame columns/rafters must be stored vertically on a slight angle.
Tip: Blocking under the columns and rafters helps to protect the base plates, splice plates, and foundation from damage during unloading
and handling. It also aids in placing slings or cables around the members for later lifting.
5.5. To help keep components dry, cover and secure all material with plastic tarp(s).
Notice: Use a tarp to keep material dry while in storage. If water remains on painted or coated surfaces for an extended period of time,
corrosion will occur, therefore shortening material life.
Tip: All primered surfaces should be touched up before and after erection.

General Hoisting Information

Safety Precaution: To help prevent injury, material damage, project delay, or additional costs, only experienced personnel in light steel
member rigging, and lifting should perform any necessary hoisting, assembly, and steel erection procedures.
Safety Precaution: Inspect ropes/cables for integrity and load range(s). If any defects or load range discrepancies are identified, do not
use for lifting. Replace defective lifting equipment immediately.
Tension and hook height diagram for lifting weights at various angles. (Figure 06)
Notice: As lift angles decrease, cable tension increases, therefore increasing compression on the load. To help protect the cable and load
from damage, avoid low sling lift angles.

Structural Framing Primer

The primer supplied by ICON Building Systems is not intended to provide the uniformed finish coat nor will it provide
extended protection if subjected to prolonged outdoor exposure. If immediate erection of the building cannot be performed,
all components must be protected from exposure to environmental conditions that may promote degradation to primer
performance. These conditions would include, but not be limited to, prolonged exposure to ultra-violet light due to possible
fading and or spotting or standing water resulting in spotting, peeling or localized surface oxidation.
The MBMA Commentary states that:
“... the manufacturer is not responsible for the deterioration of the shop coat of primer or corrosion that may result from
exposure to atmospheric and environmental conditions, nor the compatibility of the primer to any field applied coating...”
The AISC, Code of Standard Practice further states that:
“... the shop coat of paint is the prime coat of the protective system. It protects the steel for only a short period of exposure...”
Due to transit abrasions and/or scratching during loading, unloading, and handling, primer touch-up will be necessary. Primer
touch-up is the responsibility of Customer/Builder. Additional guidelines for the handling and storage of steel components
can be found in both the MBMA Commentary and the AISC Code of Standard Practice.
The factory primer is only intended to protect the steel framing for short time exposure to ordinary outdoor conditions. The
coat of shop primer does not provide the uniformity of appearance, or the durability and corrosion resistance of a field
applied finish coat of paint over a shop primer. The Manufacturer is not responsible for deterioration of the factory primer or
corrosion that may result from neither exposure to outdoor conditions or the compatibility of the primer coat applied in the
field.

Wall and Roof Panels

Safety Precaution: When handling metal panels, wear gloves to help prevent hand injuries. Exercise extreme caution when handling
panels on windy days. Panel can catch wind and knock a worker down, even at ground level.
Safety Precaution: Panels are slippery. Oil or wax may have been applied to the roof and wall panels. Exercise extreme caution when
walking on panels. Always walk in the flat parts of the panel. Wipe the panels free of any oil or residue. Condensation, dew, frost, or other
forms of moisture greatly increase the slickness of the panels. Always assume panel surfaces are slippery and take the appropriate safety
precautions. Never walk or step on light transmitting panels or translucent panels!
Important: Rough edges may damage finishes when sheets are slid across one another. Never allow panels to be walked on while on the
ground.
ASSEMBLE STRUCTURAL STEEL

General Information
Many methods and procedures are utilized for erecting metal buildings. The installation procedures employed depend on the
crew experience level, type of building, available equipment, and working conditions.
Important: Do not install any building components if quality or integrity is in question. The Manufacturer(s) will not be responsible for
incurred costs associated with the installation and/or removal of the questionable material.
Unique conditions and factors override all set installation rules and procedures. The Builder must tailor installation procedures
to fit individual conditions and requirements. However, certain installation practices pertaining to structural members have
proven sound and should be employed.
Installers must not alter any primary or secondary framing members (rigid frame columns, rafters, end bearing frame
rafters, interior columns, or otherwise). These are the primary support members for the frame and are designed as such.
Any alteration to the primary support members will affect the structural stability and void any and all warranties. A
representative of the ICON Building Systems must be consulted prior to attempting alterations of these members.
Notice: This manual is only a general guide and does not address other acceptable installation procedures. Installation and safety
practices are the Builder’s responsibility. In all cases, the Builder must comply with applicable safety precautions whether statutory,
regulatory, or customary. This manual explains procedures generated from general practice and may not apply in every case. Even the
most common practices may result in injury or improper installation if not conducted properly and under the supervision of an appropriate
professional. The manufacturer will not be held liable for problems stemming from improper installation.
Recommended Tools

Pre-drill Sidewall Panels

20. Prepare to pre-drill “sidewall” panels for easy installation.
20.1. Due to the manufacturing process, oil may have been applied protect panels. Prior to installation, use an approved
cleaner to wipe panels free of foreign debris and residue.
Safety Precaution: Wear OSHA approved eye protection when operating drill. Electric tools must be properly grounded. Do not use
electrical equipment while standing on wet surfaces.
Warning: Reverse rolled panels require different screw patterns. Refer to the construction drawings for proper screw placement.
Lap Screw Detail Tip: Evenly aligned and distributed wall panel screws will yield a professional appearance. Drill the 1/4” lap screw
clearance holes down the center of the high lap rib on 30” centers or as specified by the erection drawings (drill the first hole 1-7/8” from
the bottom edge then distribute as necessary). For cosmetic reasons, place the lap screw clearance holes in the center of the panel’s high lap
rib.
20.2. To confirm the proper panels are being pre-drilled, measure the panels then compare them to the area(s) to be
covered. (Figure 20)
20.2.1. Using a measuring tape, measure the panel length, which is the “A to B” dimension.
20.2.2. Using a measuring tape, measure from the bottom of the foundation notch to the top of the eave strut,
which is the “C to D” dimension.
Notice: The “A to B” measurement should be approximately 1” shorter than the “C to D” measurement.

20.3. Prepare to pre-drill the “sidewall” lap screw clearance holes. (Figure 21)
Important: Lap screw centers are different between sidewall panels and roof panels. Pay attention to the details.
Important: To help protect the panels’ finished surfaces, place protective material between the jaws of the vice-grip clamps.
20.3.1. With the panels pre-arranged in stacks of ten and perfectly aligned, use vice-grip clamps to secure the
stack in preparation for drilling. This will help prevent misalignment.
20.3.2. (Refer to the illustration for “sidewall” lap screw clearance hole placement.) Using a
writing utensil and measuring tape, mark the first hole location 1-7/8” from the bottom of the panel lap
rib then distribute the remaining clearance holes on 30” centers, or as specified by the erection
drawings, with the last hole 1” from the top of the panel.
20.3.3. Using a 1/4” drill bit, carefully drill holes through the panel stacks at the marked locations.

Sidewall Insulation and Panel Installation

21. Prepare to install the “starting sidewall panel”.
21.1. If applicable, prepare to install insulation at this time.
(This procedure pertains to following insulation types.)
Reinforced Vinyl Backed Roll Insulation: This type insulation is the most common insulation used in pre-engineered steel buildings;
with one side having dense fiberglass mat which seats against the wall panels, and the vinyl vapor barrier exposed.
Foil Backed Roll Insulation: This type insulation is also used in pre-engineered steel buildings; with one side having a craft paper
backing which faces against the wall panels, and the foil heat barrier exposed.
21.2. To confirm the insulation is cut to the proper length, measure the area(s) to be insulated. (Figure 25)
21.2.1. Using a measuring tape, measure from the bottom of the base-angle to the top of the eave strut.
21.3. Roll out the “Sidewall Insulation Roll”, then cut the insulation to length as per the manufacturer cut instruction sheet.
The length of insulation must be approximately 4” to 6” longer than the area to be covered.
Important: The insulation must be compressed between the girt and the wall panel. Very thick or dense insulation will not compress
adequately resulting in waviness in certain types of wall panels.

Proper Screw Installation (Figure 29)

Panel-to-Panel/Panel-to-Trim Notice: To secure panel-to-panel/panel-to-trim locations and prevent leaking, use #12 x 7/8” S.D.S.
self-tapping screws with sealing washers.
Panel-to-Structure Notice: To secure panel-to-structure locations and prevent leaking, use #12 x 1-1/4” S.D.S. self-tapping screws with
sealing washers.
Important: Use screws with sealing washers only. Ensure proper sealing by installing all screws perpendicular to the panel surface at just
the right tension.
Notice: Occasionally, the rubber seal will spin out from under the screw. Replace the seal as necessary.

Warranty Advisory: The notch area indicates 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” recess for metal wall panels. The wall panels should not touch the bottom
of the notch (raise 1/4” from foundation). If any wall panel is installed touching the foundation, the panel warranty will be void due to
“wicking”. Wicking is the effect of the panel soaking water from the foundation; therefore promoting possible material corrosion and/or
failure.
21.7. Starting at a sidewall corner, place-fit the panel to confirm it is the proper length.
Important: For trouble free corner trim installation, proper sidewall panel alignment is crucial.
Notice: If insulation is being installed, insulation should be visible out past the high lap rib.
21.7.1. Do not rest the panel directly on the foundation; raise it a minimum of 1/4”. The top of the panel must not
extend over the eave strut.
21.8. Holding the panel a minimum of 1/4” off of the slab, plumbed, with the center of the first panel high rib aligned to
the edge of the framing, use #12 x 1-1/4” self-tapping screws with sealing washers to secure the sidewall panel.
(Figure 30)
21.8.1. The pre-drilled pilot holes shall align the #12 x 1-1/4” self-tapping screws in the center of the girts, on
approximately 12” centers.
21.8.2. The pre-drilled pilot holes shall align the #12 x 1-1/4” self-tapping screws in the center of the base-angle

INSTALL ROOF INSULATION, PANELS, AND RIDGE CAP

Pre-drill Roof Panels
28. Prepare to pre-drill roof panels for easy installation.
28.1. Due to the manufacturing process, oil may have been applied to protect panels. Prior to installation, use an
approved cleaner to wipe panels free of foreign debris and residue.
Lap Screw Detail Tip: Evenly aligned and distributed roof panel screws will yield a professional appearance. Drill the 1/4” lap screw
clearance holes down the center of the high lap rib on 20” centers or as specified by the erection drawings (drill the first hole 3” from the
bottom edge then distribute as necessary). For cosmetic reasons, place the lap screw clearance holes in the center of the panel’s high lap rib.
28.2. To confirm the proper panels are being pre-drilled, measure the panels then compare them to the area(s) to be
covered. (Figure 49)
28.2.1. Using a measuring tape, measure the panel length, which is the “A to B” dimension.
28.2.2. Using a measuring tape, measure from the bottom of the foundation notch to the top of the eave strut,
which is the “C to D” dimension.
Notice: For roofs utilizing a “single sheet run”, the “A to B” measurement should be approximately 9” longer than the “C to D”
measurement.

28.3. Prepare to pre-drill the lap screw clearance holes. (Figure 50)
Safety Precaution: Pre-drill all roof panels while on the ground.
Important: The lap screw clearance holes are the only holes pre-drilled into the roof panels. Due to possible misalignment, do not pre-drill
holes for any eave struts, purlins, or peak purlins.
28.3.1. With the panels (on the ground) pre-arranged in stacks of ten and perfectly aligned, using vice-grip
clamps to secure the stack in preparation for drilling. This will help prevent misalignment.
28.3.2. (Refer to the illustration for lap screw clearance hole placement.) Using a writing utensil
and measuring tape, mark the first hole location 2” from the bottom of the panel lap rib then distribute
the remaining clearance holes on 20” centers or as specified by the erection drawings.

Safety Precautions for Roof Panel Installation

- Prior to beginning each job, safe work practices on all installation duties should be carefully reviewed with
installation crews. ICON Building Systems strongly recommends that installation crews be continuously trained in
safe and productive work practices. To minimize the risk of falls, roof structures, insulation and roof panel
installation requires proper training, constant alertness and adequate machinery, tools and safety equipment.
- Never walk on rib at edge of panel, near crease in rib at edge of panel or closer than 5 feet of the edge of an
unsecured panel.
- Never walk on partially attached or unattached roof panels! Before the roof is considered a safe walking surface,
it must be secured to the purlins and to panels on either side. Never consider skylights or translucent panels a safe
walking surface. Panels not properly secured may collapse!
- Use only OSHA approved scaffolding, work platforms and walk boards! Never use a single roof panel as a work
platform. (Consult OSHA Safety and Health Regulations for the Construction Industry).
- To help prevent injuries from falling objects, hard hats should be worn on job sites.
- Wear rubber sole work boots at all times!
- PANELS MAY BE SLICK! When working on the roof, ALWAYS utilize OSHA approved fall restraints such as safety
lines, safety nets, or catch platforms.
29. Prepare to install the first roof panel.
Notice: Use this procedure for installing sky-lights.
Important: Install roof panel rows simultaneously on both sides of the peak.
29.1. Precut the insulation to accommodate the width of the roof, eave-to-eave with an additional 2 feet for handling and
sealing. (Figure 51)

29.4. Due to the manufacturing process, oil may have been applied to help protect panels from corrosion. Prior to
installation, use a clean rag and an approved cleaner to wipe panels free of foreign debris and residue.
Safety Precaution: Use OSHA approved tie-offs, netting or rails when working on roof. Insulation has no load bearing strength. Maintain
body weight on approved scaffold or walk boards. Do not walk on unsecured panels. Continuously warn crews to never step on unsecured
roof panels.
Safety Precaution: In case of multiple roof panel runs, do not install vice-grip clamps or fasteners on purlins where panels overlap.
Completely secure one panel at a time before clamping the next panel into place.
Important: Check the Construction Drawings to determine the roof overhang at the eave.
29.5. Set the “starting” roof panel in place and align the centerline of the first rib with the edge of the end-
wall roofline (Figure 55) . Allow the roof panel to over hang off the eave of the building 2” to 3”. (Figure 56)
29.5.1. Using vice-grip clamps, secure both ends of the roof panel to the peak purlin and eave strut.
29.6. Place the “starting” inside closure strip on top of the eave trim (as specified by
manufacturer) and cut off as necessary, just outside of the insulation’s edge. #12 x 7/8”

29.7.3. If your building has multi-run roof panels, perform the following steps (Figure 58):
1. To prevent water from seeping between the panels, use sealant tape, as shown. With the release
paper in place, press firmly along the length of the sealant to insure proper adhesion. The sealant
must be continuous, no voids can be present.
2. Remove the release paper then set the overlapping panel in place at this time.
3. Overlap the panel a minimum of 3” or as specified by the Construction Plans.
4. To secure the “lap ends” to the purlins, use #12 x 1-1/4” self-tapping screws on approximately 6” centers.
The screws must be installed above the sealant tape line.
Safety Precaution: FALL HAZARD! DO NOT WALK BETWEEN THE PEAK PURLIN AND NEIGHBORING PURLIN UNTIL THE TOP OF THE
PANEL HAS BEEN SECURED. For walking purposes, temporarily secure the top of the panel to the peak purlin by placing (2) screws, in the
“flats”, approximately 10” from both edges of the panel. These two temporary screws must be removed just prior to installing the ridge cap.
29.7.4. Temporarily secure the top of the roof panel to the peak purlin by placing (2) screws, in the “flats”,
approximately 10” from both edges of the panel. These screws must be removed prior to ridge cap
installation.

SKYLIGHT PANEL CLUSTER Notice: See Install SKYLIGHT PANEL CLUSTER on page 70-72. Use this procedure for installing skylights.
Skylight panel must lap over panels to the left, right, and below (Fig. 54, pg. 49).
30.1. Precut the insulation to accommodate the width of the roof, eave-to-eave with an additional 2 feet for
handling and sealing.
Important: The insulation must be compressed between the purlins, eave struts and roof panel. Very thick or dense insulation will not
compress adequately resulting in waviness in certain types of roof panels.
30.2.1. Place strips of double-side tape, approximately 7 ft. in length, along the top sides of the eaves’ trim.
30.2.2. Place the insulation on the roof, running from eave-to-eave. Stretch the insulation until tight and smooth.

35. Prepare to install the Skylight Panel Cluster.
Important: Skylight panel must lap over panels to the left, right, and below.
Important: The Sealant tape should always be positioned to the outer edge of the panel rib so that water cannot seep under the panel
lap. Voids will be created if screws penetrate the sealant.
35.1. Precut the insulation to accommodate the width of the roof, eave-to-eave with an additional 2 feet for
`handling and sealing.
Important: The insulation must be compressed between the purlins, eave struts and roof panel. Very thick or dense insulation will not
compress adequately resulting in waviness in certain types of roof panels.
35.2. Install a row of insulation.
35.2.1. For details, see step 30.2.
35.3. Trim the insulation for roof panel installation.
35.4. Prepare to modify the insulation for SKYLIGHT PANEL CLUSTER installation.
