7. Installation
RoofAquaGuard UDLX must be installed above properly ventilated spaces (follow
local
building code) as it is considered a vapor barrier. RoofAquaGuard UDLX is laid
horizontally (parallel) to the eave with the printed side up, and with 4" horizontal
laps and 6" vertical laps. (The use of a slip sheet is not required underneath
metal roofing)
RoofAquaGuard UDLX must be attached to the structural Roof Deck Material
using Plastic or Steel Cap roofing nails, having a minimum of 1" diameter cap,
spaced at 12" on vertical and 15" on horizontal. All Plastic, or Steel Caps, must be
attached flush with the underlayment surface and nails must be fastened at a 90
degree angle to the deck. Prior to loading the roofing materials onto the
RoofAquaGuard UDLX product it is recommended that a roof jack, with planks, toe
boards, or a strong platform be secured to the underlying roofing deck to prevent
slippage of stored materials on steep sloped roofs (greater than 4 : 12 pitch). See
OSHA regulations (Standard 29 CFR), fall protection systems criteria and practice
s
- 1926.502. For batten secured applications, the use of plastic cap roofing nails
required only to secure the underlayment and prevent blow off until the batten
system is installed. Where seams or joints require sealant or adhesive, use only a
high quality, low solvent asbestos free plastic roofing cement meeting ASTM D-
4586 Type 1 (Asbestos Free), Spec SS-153 Type 1 (Asbestos Free).
Installing final roofing within 6 months from initial underlayment application is
recommended.
