STEEL PANEL STORING, HANDLING, AND CUTTING Storing, Handling • All materials should be used as soon as possible. • Steel bundles should be stored indoors with enough of a slope to allow any moisture from condensation to drain out of the bundle. • Bare galvanized panels should be installed immediately and not be stored outside. • Condensation or rain water trapped on bare galvanized panels can form a wet storage stain, also known as white rust. • Do not slide steel panels across each other.

STEEL PANEL FASTENING Proper Lapping of Steel Underseat Proper Overseat Proper lapping of steel panel is very important in the panel’s ability to prevent leaking. The anti-syphon drain channel must be clear of debris and obstructions for the panel’s ability to minimize the potential of capillary action of water from getting under the steel panel.
