Slide the tube through the Base Assemblies as shown in Figure 5. To ensure the wall is straight when complete, it is
critical that the C12 Field connectors installed on the horizontal tubes are in a straight line along each segment of
the RoofScreen. This is done by sliding the horizontal tubes in or out of the Base Assemblies. For short runs, use a
string line for this step. The most effective method is to set the tubes on the first and last frames in a run, then pull
a string line between the two to set the remaining tubes. If the run is long (over 50’), or if it is a windy day, it is
recommended to use a laser level in vertical mode instead of a string line. Remember the frame cantilever is
limited to 1’-6”, as shown in Figure 5.
Once all horizontal tubes are properly aligned, install (4) Self-Drilling Tek Screws, Part# S10, in each Base Assembly.
Before these Tek Screws are installed, it is important that the C12 connectors are oriented vertically to allow the
Vertical Tube (installed in the next step) to be vertical and plumb.
Next, install (3) Thread-Cutting Screws (Part# S44) in the aligned holes of the RotoLock feature of the Base
Assembly (see Figure 6). Install (1) screw from the opposite side as illustrated in Section AA of Figure 6.
To finish this step, tighten the center bolt in the
RotoLock feature. This bolt, as all bolts in the
RoofScreen system, only need to be reasonably
tightened and do not need to be torqued to any
specific setting.
Important:
Be sure to sweep or vacuum metal
shavings from the top of the Base Assemblies after
drilling Tek Screws to prevent rust from forming on
the shavings. The Base Assemblies are stainless
steel, so no harm will come to them from rusted
shavings. However, it is not aesthetically pleasing
and the end customer may think the parts are
rusting.
