Nailing:
3.35mm diameter 65mm long galvanised steel nails at 200mm centres (ring shank nails; Scotland and N Ireland). For roofs with ridges over 7.2m and in areas of high exposure, calculate fixings in accordance with BS 5534.

Jointing:
The system's components have interlocking joints for forming continuous straight lines. Mitre the strips at hips and valleys. At inner valley joints, fix over a separate flashing extending at least 150mm on each side of the joint.

Parapet/Valley Gutter Situation:
In a parapet/valley gutter situation in the absence of a fascia, it may be possible to introduce a timber fillet on which the system can be fixed (as shown below).
