Roof curb mounting
– The curbs are constructed of heavy gauge load bearing, galvanized steel,
and must be fully insulated after installation. Wood nailer strips are provided for easy attachment of
roof flashing. Gasket material is supplied with the unit and must be field mounted on the curb to
seal the joint between the curb and the unit frame. The curb must be supported along its entire
perimeter and any full height cross members as shown on the shop drawings. Point loading of
curbs is not permissible.
The gasket material provided for the curb is closed cell foam. Closed cell foam is dense and does
not compress easily. If the unit is split and shipped in sections there will also be gasket material for
sealing between sections. The gasket material for splits is open cell foam. It is less dense than the
closed cell foam and compresses easily.
ONLY USE THE CLOSED CELL FOAM GASKET PROVIDED FOR SEALING THE CURB.
Curbs may be broken down for shipping. Field assembly is required by the installing contractor. Bolt
all sections together at split joints using hardware provided. The installing contractor must caulk and
seal all joint and corner flashings. All flashings and braces that are provided must be installed. DO
NOT screw/penetrate joint, corner or adaptor flashings. Refer to assembly instructions sent with
roof curb.
