Building code(s) for roofing fasteners | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 1/7/2008	Is there a specific building code(s) which governs the fasteners to be used on metal roofing applications? Is it a requirement to have rubber and or neoprene washers besides the obvious? Do the rubber or neoprene washers require a specifc thickness and durometer rating?

Ken Buchinger NCI Building Systems, Inc. 1/8/2008	I do not know of a code requirement, though there may be one in your area. I would make sure that all exposed fasteners are long life and have a neoprene sealing washer and are appropriate for the substrate into which they will be installed. Check with the manufacturer of the roofing material you are using for their suggestions.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/10746/find/
