SpeedSealTM Track Installation snapnrack.com Attach SpeedSealTM Track to roof using a standard 5/16” lag screw and washer. Drive the lag screw into the pilot hole and rafter for a recommended minimum 2½” embedment. As the lag screw is being driven into the roof, watch rubber gasket on underside of sealing washer for compression. Stop driving the lag screw when the gasket becomes visible around the edge of the washer. Over tightening the lag screw will damage the rubber gasket.
