3016014 Watertight Seal For Ecofasten Brackets Installation Guide

SIMPLESEAL

SimpleSeal was designed for installation on most metal roofs. The system utilizes a cone-shaped EPDM rubber bushing that fits into the countersink found on the underside of any EcoFasten compression bracket. When fastened to the roof, engaging a purlin or rafter, the SimpleSeal bushing is compressed inside the bracket, creating a watertight seal.

FEATURES

Patented watertight technology
Minimal components
Compatible with a variety of EcoFasten compression brackets

Place the compression bracket on roof surface above a supporting structural component, ensuringthat the bushing sits flat against the roof surface. SimpleSeal is notdesigned to be installed on any
ridge or corrugation of the metal roof surface.

INSTALLING SIMPLESEAL

Thread the 5/16″ EPDM bonded sealing washer onto the 5/16″ lag bolt and insert the bolt into the top of SimpleSeal EPDM bushing.

Tighten fastener until bracket is pulled down snug to the roof surface. The tension required will vary with the project roof deck, age, and type. Be sure not to over tighten the fasteners and strip the
threads.
