Where might I find specs. for a typical instulation of a metal roof. I am looking for mim. pitch of a roof, flashing requirements, enderlayment material, etc.
Thank you

These things all vary based upon the profile of the roof you purchase. However, generally, expect a 3:12 minimum pitch. Flashings should be designed for permanence and minimal dependence on sealants. Many manufacturers offer numerous pre-formed flashings. Underlayment varies but is typically a minimum 30-pound felt.
Once you find some products you like, inquire with the manufacturers for more installation details.

The manufacture offers no specs. as to how to use his metal roofing material. I have some areas that are less than the 3/12. Is their a standard or rule of thumb for dealing with this type of instillation ? I want to use the same material on an ( close to flat ) area that will tie into the rest of the house. Should I use a valley metal material where the two roofs will meet?
Thank you

Most products will have performance problems when used below a 3:12. I would not do it unless your product is specifically rated for a lower pitch.
Not to be crass but if the manufacturer doesn't have these types of directions for their product, then I would really question how serious they are about this business and I would find another product and manufacturer.
When two roofs meet at a right angle, a matching pre-formed valley pan should be used or you can field form something out of matching metal.
When two roofs join which run parallel one to another, that is a pitch change and it requires a custom flashing.
