G collecting and removing rainwater from low-slope structural metal panel roof systems. The NRCA Architectural Sheet Metal and Metal Roofing Manual—2006 Edition, provides five details for structural metal panel roof systems with gutters at eaves. Detail S-MTL-3B, “Downslope Flashing with Gutter with Brackets—‘T’ Type,” provides information specific to flat-pan vertical-seam structural metal panels in- corporating a T-type edge-metal flashing and gutter. In this detail, a T-type edge metal is fastened to a structural framing member with the option of including sealant tape between the top of the wall and the edge metal. Where there are concerns that water backup or ice dams will occur, the use of sealant tape is strongly recom- mended. T-type edge-metal thickness and attachment method(s) should be based on anticipated uplift loads and de- sired resistance. A reference note guides users to a table with minimum gauge recommendations for edge metal. The flat-pan structural panels are hooked to the T-type edge metal to pro- vide uplift resistance and weatherproof- ing. If panels are fixed at the eaves, no movement will occur at the eaves. If pan- els are fixed at the midpoint or ridge, the Detail S-MTL-3B from The NRCA Architectural Sheet Metal and Metal Roofing Manual—2006 Edition panels’ expansion and contraction need to be accounted for.
