The bottom Strap is always located 12” above the bottom header. The remaining Strap(s) are
equally spaced between the bottom Strap and the top header. You may want to use a chalk line
to mark this spacing before you install the panels by measuring down from the top horizontal
line; or use the shingle lines as a guide.
Install SuperClips along the marked lines between all panels and at the ends of the row, Fig (27)
To install a SuperClip, apply a generous amount of sealant to the base of the clip. Place the base
on the marked line and secure with a Stainless 3/8 Hex Screw through the center hole of the
base, Fig (28).
The SuperClip base should be tightly secured but be sure NOT to over tighten the screw and
strip the wood. In high wind areas the base can be fastened in the four corners in addition to the
center.
Lay strap across the SuperClip base at the left end of the row. Screw on SuperClip cap rmly.
Stretch the strap across all the panels to the right and screw on the last SuperClip cap rmly while
the strap is under tension Fig (29). Now working from the center towards the ends of the row,
screw each cap on rmly.
After the system is installed for several weeks or even months the Strap may need to be re-ten-
sioned due to expansion of the strap in warmer weather.
