2. Fasteners
   1. Field fasteners shall be minimum 114 - 14 x 1If HWH #3 self-drilling/selftapping screws coated with a corrosion resistant coating. Screws shall be manufactured by a recognized manufacturer and shall be marked with manufacturers identification symbol.
   2. Field fasteners installed with the head under the roof panel shall be minimum #12 - 14 x I" Pancake Head #3 self-drilling/self-tapping screws coated with a corrosion resistant coating. Screws shall be manufactured by a recognized manufacturer and shall be marked with manufacturer's identification symbol.

2.02 FRAMING SYSTEM DESIGN

1. Provide adjustable framing system with open web construction consisting of steel top, bottom and web members that are sized and selected specifically for this project. Adjustable framing system shall incorporate adjustable height ranges as required by this project but in no case shall total adjustability be less than six inches. Adjustability is required to establish the proper elevation of the top member shall be achieved by an adjustable top clip, by sliding the web member vertically on the top or bottom member, by diagonal web members that rotate up and down or by field cutting any given web member to the precise length required.
2. The top member of the adjustable framing system shall be a minimum 16 gage structural shape installed in such a manner that it's top flange lies substantially in the same plane as the new roof. The top flange of the top member shall have sufficient width to accommodate attachment of the new roof system. The top member of the adjustable framing system shall accommodate its longitudinal thermal expansion and contraction by means of a slotted connection designed to satisfy the configuration of this project, but in no case shall the top member exceed 150' in length without an expansion splice.
3. The adjustable framing system web members shall be a structural angle or channel factory pre-cut to the exact length required to allow proper function of adjustable elements. Framing systems without adjustable elements shall have any given web member field cut the precise length required in order to establish the proper top member elevations without adjustable elements. Drawing shall clearly dimension the required overlap relationship between adjoining members to assure proper field cutting of members. Web members and any associated splices or connections shall be designed to resist any moment created by eccentric loading of the member as well as the associated axial and shear loads.
4. Intermittent bottom members shall be factory pre-cut and the bottom flange of the bottom member shall be factory pre-punched for attachment to the existing structure. All bottom members shall be sized and selected to distribute the new roof loads to the existing structure without over stressing the bottom member or exceeding the allowable compressive strength of the roof. Calculations shall demonstrate structural suitability of the bottom member.
5. The adjustable framing system shall be braced both laterally and longitudinally using steel strapping designed to satisfy the design loads and the roof system used. When bracing changes direction, component forces are created which must be taken into consideration in the design and erection of the framing system. The framing design shall include bracing as required to resist the following:
   1. 1. Applicable horizontal loads.
   2. 2. A minimum of2% of the vertical load applied laterally.
   3. 3. All forces developed in the plane of the roof as a result of vertical roof loads and wind loads.
6. Shop drawings shall clearly state whether the frame was designed for fixed or floating attachment of the roof panels. If designed for floating clips, the shop drawings shall clearly state whether the system was designed for the roof panel to be fixed at the eave, the ridge, or an intermediate location.
7. Framing design shall not rely on the roof panel or flashing to transfer in plane loads across the ridge of the roof.

3.01 EXAMINATION

1. Verify conditions of existing roof systems and structural supports before starting installation of the adjustable framing system. Notify the architect of conditions detrimental to the successful installation before erecting the adjustable framing system.

3.02 PREPARATION

1. Remove existing roof-mounted equipment and modify penetrations as specified in other sections.
2. Remove gravel, and other uneven or loose materials as required to provide a clean, even contact surface between framing system bottom member and support elements.
3. Provide blocking and shimming as required.
4. If required, replace deteriorated roof, insulation and roof deck as specified in other sections.

3.03 INSTALLATION

1. General
   1. Install the adjustable framing system in accordance with manufacturer's shop drawings and installation instructions.
   2. Coordinate with installation of roofing and other adjacent work.
2. Fasten bottom members to substrate according to manufacturer's shop drawings and installation instructions.
3. Temporarily waterproof fastener penetrations and other penetrations through existing roof.
4. Establish required top member elevations at the highest and lowest guide frames within a roof area. Attach web members to the bottom members at the highest and lowest guide frames. Adjust and attach top members at the required elevation to the web members at the highest and lowest guide frames. Provide temporary bracing as required. Install string lines between the highest and lowest guide frames. Ensure that string lines are tight and not sagging. Use wire and turnbuckles or other method if necessary to be certain that new roof plane is straight and true. Establish the elevation of intermediate frames according to string lines. Repeat erection sequence as required for continuity.
5. Install permanent bracing as shown on manufacturer's shop drawings.
6. Tolerances:
   1. Out-of-Plane: The top members of the adjustable frames shall not vary from the theoretical plane of the new roof bearing by more than ± 114 inch individually and 1 inch in 180 inches overall slope.
   2. The adjustable framing system shall be installed in a plumb and vertical position. Out of plumb tolerance shall not exceed ± 114 inch in 60".
   3. The top support beam surface of the adjustable framing system supporting the new roof shall not be out of plane with the new roof by more than 1/4" in 12"

3.04 DELIVERY, STORAGE AND HANDLING

1. Deliver adjustable framing system in marked bundles of like sizes and configuration. Deliver top support members, bottom members and factory pre-cut web members bundled separately.
2. Store on supports so as to maintain adjustable framing system in a dry, clean segregated condition.
3. Handle adjustable framing system so that individual members and factory-made joints are not over stressed during shipping, storage and erection.
