32. How many people are needed to install a RoofKit
EPDM system?
This would depend on the size of the project, but for
many reasons it is recommended to have at least two
people.
33. How is the RoofKit Termination Bar used?
The Termination Bar is used for the attachment of the
membrane at wall and edge details. It is attached
with RoofKit screws (or masonry fasteners, if required).
34. What do I use to seal the perimeter of my roof?
Use either the RoofKit Termination Bar or a
prefabricated edge metal. (Refer to the Application Guide.)
35. How do I install the edge metal detail at the perimeter
of my roof?
After the membrane has been rolled over the edge a
minimum of 3", install the edge metal using roong nails
that are at least ¾" long, securing the ange to the roof
deck every 4" to 6". Use RoofKit Seam Primer and a
scrub pad to clean the edge metal and 4" of the adjacent
membrane, then cover with RoofKit Cover Strip. Assure
good contact by rolling with a seam roller.
36. Where do I use the RoofKit Rubber Caulk?
Caulk is used for sealing the edge of a membrane seam,
at the edges of ashing details and patches, and at the top
edge of Termination Bar details.
37. What should I do about a pipe vent on my roof?
Use the RoofKit Rubber Pipe Boot with Steel Clamp. Use
Seam Primer and a scrub pad to clean the membrane
surface around the pipe a minimum of 4" larger than the
Pipe Boot. Place the Boot over the pipe and cut to the
correct size (1" to 6"). Position the Boot onto the roof
surface and remove the release paper. Secure the Boot
with a seam roller, clamp the top of the Boot with the steel
clamp, and seal all edges with RoofKit Rubber Caulk.
