;INTRODUCTION: "THE WORLD'S BEST ROOF®"
"THE WORLD'S BEST ROOF®"
Duro-Last, Inc. is the pioneer and one of the nation's largest manufacturers of custom prefabricated roofing systems.
Every Duro-Last roofing system is prefabricated in one of four Duro-Last manufacturing plants to meet your specific
roofing needs. Approximately 80% of the field seams and roughly 95%of the remaining critical areas (projections and
perimeters)are welded under ideal factory conditions. The result is a consistent, high quality roofing system designed
and manufactured for each building on which it's installed; a concept that renders other roofing systems obsolete.
The Duro-Last single-ply membrane outperforms other roofing products in all critical areas.
We believe our warranties are the best in the industry Commercial projects may be eligible for (at the choice of the
building owner) either a 15-year or 20-year labor and material warranty. Residential projects receive a separate 15-
I year material warranty. The warranty section in this manual covers each warranty in detail. When a commercial roof
installation is completed, a Duro-Last quality assurance specialist will inspect the roof for compliance with the Duro-
Last specification. Upon final inspection, acceptance, and payment of all related invoices, Duro-Last will immediately
issue the warranty to the Duro-Last contractor.
The Duro-Last roofing system meets or exceeds major national fire and wind code requirements as well as most of
the regional approvals throughout the country. Duro-Last is approved by Factory Mutual Global (FMG), Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc. in both the United States (UL) and Canada (ULC), and has been evaluated by the International
Code Council (ICC) and is compliant with the International Building Code(IBC).
Duro-Last actively participates in the major technical committees in the roofing industry including the American
Society of Testing Materials (ASTM), and the Single Ply Roofing Industry (SPRI), Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC),
and the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). In addition, Duro-Last maintains and continually updates a
highly sophisticated in-house laboratory for quality control testing for all phases of manufacturing.
i Duro-Last and its subsidiary companies employ more than 800 people, including 69 who are factory trained quality
assurance specialists strategically located throughout the country. In addition, Duro-Last has a network of over 60
independent sales representatives based throughout North America.
As Duro-Last has grown into its position of distinction, several major industrial leaders, corporations and sources of
specifications throughout the country have recognized Duro-Last for its technological contributions to the roofing
industry. Nationally recognized roofing experts have visited the Duro-Last facility, and have stated that its quality
control procedures are the best in the roofing industry.
Duro-Last was awarded the "State of Michigan New Product of the Year" award in 1986. Governor Blanchard
presented Duro-Last's founder John R. Burt, with the "Small Businessman-Of-The-Year" award in 1987. In 1991, Burt
was honored with the"Entrepreneur of the Year' award for the State of Michigan, and in 1997-1998, he was a finalist
for this same award. Also in 1998, Burt received the"Vision of Free Enterprise"award followed by a special award in
1999, recognizing his outstanding contributions to the economy of Saginaw County. In 2003 Burt was posthumously
awarded the"Excellence In Business" award by Davenport University.
Duro-Last's increasing penetration into commercial and institutional sectors has generated "controlled"growth at more
than twice the rate of the roofing industry. As a result, Duro-Last has made major capital improvements and
investments towards increased manufacturing capacity, allowing for growth and vertical integration of manufacturing
as well as improved quality control of the entire Duro-Last Roofing System.
All of this translates into a roofing system that provides the consistent watertight integrity that building owners look for.
By manufacturing virtually all of the components of the roofing system in its facilities, using rigorous quality-controlled
procedures, and by providing the majority of the labor for"building"the roof system in it's factory, Duro-Last minimizes
the liabilities commonly associated with a roofing investment. Furthermore, Duro-Last backs its claims by offering the
most comprehensive warranty coverage in the industry. In short, Duro-Last, Inc. is committed to the roofing industry.
Duro-Last has earned the respect of the roofing and business communities throughout North America and has
assumed a leading role in roofing manufacturing technology. Duro-Last looks forward to providing the best solution to
your roofing needs.

2. The authorized contractor is responsible for taking core cuts and conducting pull-out tests. These tests will be
used to determine fastener type and length as well as to determine the condition of the existing roof deck and the r
presence of water in the existing roof system.
3. Duro-Last, Inc. does not approve of the practice of roofing over existing roof systems that contain moisture. This
includes water that flows into openings created by core cuts or water that is discovered by squeezing the core
sample taken from the existing roof system. Any decision to re-cover a roof containing moisture is the
responsibility of both the installer and the building owner. Duro-Last, Inc. reserves the right to deny the issuance
of a warranty in the instances where a Duro-last Roofing System is installed over an existing roof system that
contains moisture.
4. The authorized contractor is responsible for following standard roofing practices, proper safety procedures, and
compliance with OSHA, as well as all state, local, and other safety rules, regulations, and codes. It is the
responsibility of the roofing contractor to obtain any building permits and insurance necessary that are above and
beyond what Duro-Last, Inc. may require.
5. The authorized contractor assumes the responsibility of assuring that the installed system meets or exceeds all
project specifications. For special conditions, an authorized contractor may contact the Duro-Last Engineering
Services Department for assistance However, Duro-Last, Inc. is not and will not be responsible for any project
specifications.
6. Duro-Last, Inc. is not responsible for any alterations to a roofing system (new or existing) which may change the
thermal characteristics or dew point of the roofing assembly.
7. The sole purpose of the Duro-Last warranty inspection process is only to determine whether the Duro-Last roofing
system was installed in accordance with Duro-Last's specifications. This inspection in no way extends to adjacent
building components or other areas the Duro-Last quality assurance technical representative ("QA Tech Rep")
may come in contact with, such as structural defects, architectural design or modifications made to the building by
the installing contractor. The Duro-Last QA Tech Rep does not promote himself as knowledgeable about roofing
or construction practices other than the proper installation of the Duro-Last roofing system. The ultimate goal of
the inspection process is to confirm general compliance with Duro-Last, lnc's. specifications and to ensure the
overall watertight integrity of the Duro-Last Roofing System.

MEMBRANE DESCRIPTION
A. The Duro-Last membrane is a polyvinylchloride polymer blend, which is reinforced with a high-strength weft-
inserted polyester scrim that has a thread pattern of 18 x 14 threads per inch. Refer to the Spec Data Sheets in
the"Product Data Sheets"section for a listing of all of the test results and physical properties of the membrane. j
1. The 40 mil(1 mm)thick membrane has a system weight of approximately 0.25 lb/ft'(1.22 kg/m2). The prefab-
ricated roof cover is supplied in sections that are either folded or rolled. Individual sections may be as large as
2,500 ft2 (232 m2), with no single dimension exceeding 100-ft(30 m). Deck sheets can be fabricated up to 3,000
ft2(279 m2)when using 10-ft(3.05 m) laps, 30'-6"(9.3 m)wide with a full reverse, not to exceed 100-ft(30.5 m) I
long.
2. The 50 mil (1.27 mm)thick membrane has a system weight of approximately 0.32 lb/ft2 (1.56 kg/m2). The prefab-
ricated roof cover is supplied in sections that are either folded or rolled. Individual sections may be as large as
2,000 ft2(186 m2), with no single dimension exceeding 80-ft(24 m). Deck sheets can be fabricated up to 2,500 ft2
(232 m2)when using 10-ft(3.05 m) laps, 30'-6" (9.3 m)wide with a full reverse, not to exceed 80-ft(24.4 m) long.
3. The 60 mil(1.52 mm)thick membrane has a system weight of approximately 0.39 lb/ft' (1.9 kg/m2). The prefab-
ricated roof cover is supplied in sections that are either folded or rolled. Individual sections may be as large as
1.500 ft2 (139 m2), with no single dimension exceeding 60-ft(18.28 m).
APPLICABILITY
The Duro-Last roofing system consists of the Duro-Last membrane, fasteners, prefabricated corners, parapet
flashings, stack flashings, curb flashings, two-way vents, and other related Duro-Last approved products. The Duro-
Last roofing system consists of products manufactured by Duro-Last, Inc., or accepted products as defined and
described in the specifications. Alternate materials must be pre-approved in writing by the Duro-Last Engineering
Services Department prior to their use with the Duro-Last roofing system.
Drainage/Slope
Duro-Last warrants its membrane even where ponding water accumulates. Duro-Last has found no adverse effects
on its membrane because of a lack of positive drainage, however, good roofing practices incorporate the use of
positive drainage for the safety of the structure. The installing contractor is responsible to make sure roof drainage
meets local building code requirements.
WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS
The Duro-Last membrane is designed to perform in all types of weather. The Duro-Last membrane is regularly
subjected to DSET, EMMAQUA Exposure and low temperature cracking (ASTM D-2136)testing. Installation of the
Duro-Last membrane is limited only by the exposure limitations of the installers. It is Duro-Last's recommendation that
installation be performed within the temperature range of—15 to 115°F (-26 to 46°C).
DELIVERY
The Duro-Last roofing system and related materials will be delivered to the location designated by the Duro-Last
contractor in the original packaging and with shipping labels intact. Containers will be labeled with
manufacturers/supplier's name, product name, and identification. Each shipment should be checked for damages
and/or shortages at the time of delivery. The freight agent must note damaged materials and/or shortages on the
freight bill. Concealed damage must be reported to the freight agent immediately. Materials damaged in shipping,
handling, or storage cannot be used.
HANDLING
Once the Duro-Last roofing system is delivered, the contractor and contractor's crew are responsible for all handling
and installation of the roofing system. Adequate personnel and equipment should be available to safely lift and place
the Duro-Last roofing system onto the rooftop. Folded or rolled prefabricated sections of membrane must be placed
on the roof near load-bearing members, and in a manner convenient to final placement.

SECTION 2 - -- QUALITY ASSURANCE
I
PRE-JOB INSPECTION
When recovering an existing roofing system, the authorized Duro-Last contractor is responsible to conduct an
inspection of the proposed job site roof conditions to determine the needed fastener type and length, evaluate the
moisture content of the existing roofing system, and to note damaged areas to be repaired prior to installation of the
Duro-last roofing system.
CORE CUTS
1 The Duro-Last contractor is responsible for performing a series of core cuts to determine and verify the
above information. The Duro-Last contractor and/or building owner is responsible for the repair of all
core cuts.
2 Duro-Last, Inc. does not approve the practice of roofing over existing roofing systems that contain excess
moisture. Excess moisture is defined as water observed within a core cut or water squeezed from the
core sample taken. i
3 Duro-Last's post-installation warranty inspection does not check the moisture content of the substrate.
PULLOUT TESTS
1 Fastener pullout tests must be conducted on the roof deck with approved fasteners to verify the integrity
of the deck and to establish fastening patterns that meet the requirements of Duro-Last specifications.
Contact the Duro-Last Engineering Services Department with any questions.
2 It is the responsibility of the Duro-Last contractor to make sure pullout tests are performed on site. The
tests can be performed by either the fastener manufacturer or the authorized Duro-Last contractor. The
sections of decking where integrity is in question should be the locations for the tests. The pullout tests
must be documented on a roof drawing showing the location and pullout value of each test. In situations
where new construction prevents on-site pullout tests, a pre-assembled deck representing the proposed
deck type should be constructed and tested.
3 The number of pullout tests required will be as follows: perform a minimum of 10 tests for up to 50,000 ft1
(4,645 m1)and five additional pull tests for each additional 50,000 ft1 or portion thereof, on each project.
Areas of low pullout results will require additional pullout tests.
4 It is the responsibility of the Duro-Last contractor to verify pullout values prior to installation.
FASTENER SELECTION AND DECK TYPES
The fasteners used to attach insulation, recover board and Duro-Last membrane must be supplied by Duro-Last, Inc.
The following tables summarize the appropriate fasteners to use for different deck types and system components. If a
fastener type is needed that is not listed below, the Duro-Last Engineering Services Department must approve its use,
in writing, prior to installation.

SECTION 3 - - - IMPLEMENTATION
ROOF PREPARATION
RECOVER—Built-up Roofs(BUR) i
s
a. If the BUR is gravel surfaced and the pea gravel or crushed stone is 1/4-3/8-inch (6- 10 mm) in size, it
must be leveled and maintained at 4 lb./ft' (20 kg/m'). A minimum 3/8-inch (10 mm)fan fold board,
supplied by Duro-Last, approved recover board, or 1-inch (25 mm)thick insulation must be used to
overlay the gravel
b. If the loose stone on an old BUR is vacuumed or swept, A minimum 3/8-inch (10 mm)fan fold board,
supplied by Duro-Last, approved recover board, or 1-inch (25 mm)thick insulation must be used to
overlay the existing system. CAUTION: Removing more than the loose gravel may affect the fire rating.
Contact the Duro-Last Engineering Services Department for assistance regarding fire rated assemblies.
c. If the BUR is a smooth or granular surfaced application, and is free of sharp edges and debris, it can be
recovered with a minimum of a 3 mil polyethylene slip sheet, though Duro-Last fan fold board is
recommended.
d. EPS insulation cannot be used over coal tar pitch or asphalt without a slip sheet between the coal tar
pitch and the insulation as well as between the membrane and the insulation. Duro-Last underlayments
are approved for direct application over aged coal tar pitch roofs.
e. When roofing over asphalt or coal tar roofs(including tear-off), an approved separator sheet must be
used. Asphalt-based products are incompatible with the Duro-Last roofing membrane. Note: Should the
Duro-Last membrane become soiled with roofing asphalt, the affected membrane must be cleaned
immediately using approved cleaners and procedures. If the asphalt cannot be properly cleaned from the
membrane, the affected membrane must be removed and new membrane installed, or overlay the
affected area with an approved slip sheet and new membrane. Extreme caution should be taken if you
are doing a tear-off while installing the membrane.
RECOVER—Single-Ply Roofs
a. The existing single-ply roofing membrane must be cut free from the entire roof perimeter, cut free around
all penetrations, and cut in between fastener rows prior to the installation of the Duro-Last membrane.
When reroofing after a tear-off, caution should be used to prevent the Duro-Last membrane from
contacting incompatible materials. (See"Substrate Separation", page 4)
b. If the existing system is mechanically fastened, there is often a problem with loose fasteners. Because of
this problem, cut the membrane open and remove all loose fasteners before installing the slip sheet_
c. If a PVC membrane has been installed directly over styrene insulation without a separation sheet, then
the old membrane must be removed, damaged insulation replaced, and an approved slip sheet installed.
d. If the existing membrane is ballasted and the Duro-Last membrane is to be mechanically fastened, it is
necessary to do fastener pullout tests on the deck. Also, the type of insulation and its density needs to
be determined to ensure that the insulation will meet the Duro-Last specification. (See"Substrate
Separation", page 4). Be aware that if the existing insulation is"loose-laid" it must be fastened with an
approved fastening pattern (See Detail 1020).
RECOVER—Metal Roof Recover/Retrofit
a. The metal roof panel must be clean, smooth, and free of sharp edges and loose foreign material.
Damaged areas and other factors affecting the installation of the Duro-Last roofing system must be
repaired prior to the installation of the membrane.
b. A metal roof panel must be separated from the Duro-Last membrane by using a recover board of at least
7/16-inch thick (11 mm) hardboard (gypsum), plywood, or oriented strand board (OSB)or 1-inch (25 mm)
rigid insulation. When 1-inch rigid insulation is used, flute filler must be used and must consist of
polyisocyanurate insulation. Note: According to international Building Code(IBC), the use of above-deck

TIO : MECHANICALLY FASTENED SYSTEMS
thermal insulation(including extruded or expanded EPS) is covered with an approved roof covering and
passes the tests of FM 4450 or UL 1256 when tested as an assembly. The gaps between the ribs of the
metal and the insulation fill cannot exceed the recover board manufacturer's recommendation for
spanability. Flute filler must be fastened as needed to hold the flute fill in place. (Note: Duro-Last fanfold
may be used if the flutes are filled with no gaps exceeding 1/4-inch total in between metal ribs.)
c. Insulation/recover board must be neatly fitted to the roof deck and its penetrations. Four by eight-feet
(1.2 x 2.4 m)boards must be attached with a minimum of five fasteners/distribution plates. See details
1020& 1030 found in the detail section of this manual for mechanical attachment of additional sizes of
recovery boards. Gaps between insulation/recovery boards cannot exceed 114-inch (6 mm) in width. No
more insulation/recovery board will be installed than can be covered with membrane and completed
before the end of the day's work or before the onset of inclement weather. Duro-Last fasteners and
plates as well as approved fastening patterns are required for attachment of all insulation/recover board.
Contact the Duro-Last Engineering Services Department with any questions.
d. High-density wood fiberboard is acceptable on metal building recovers when the building slope is at least
1-inch (25 mm)vertical for every 12-inches(305 mm) horizontal. High-density wood fiber will not be
accepted as flute filler.
e. Plywood is acceptable to recover metal roofs. The minimum thickness, if it is being used as recover
board, shall be 7/16-inch (11 mm). Fasteners must penetrate through both the plywood and the existing
metal roof
f. If plywood will be acting as the new substrate for membrane attachment, the plywood must be a
minimum of 9/16-inch (14 mm)thick and a pull-test must be conducted on the new lumber to determine
the proper lap spacing and attachment along the tab. Contact the local building authority to determine
compliance of deck attachment to the building structure. Note. It is the responsibility of the contractor to
ensure that the weight requirements of the building are not exceeded when installing additional materials
over pre-engineered buildings.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
a. All concrete surfaces must be troweled smooth. If the concrete surface is not smooth, a minimum 3/8-
inch (10 mm)fan fold board, supplied by Duro-Last, is required.
b. The roof deck or existing roof system must be clean, smooth, free of sharp edges, and loose foreign
material. Damaged areas and other factors affecting the installation of the Duro-Last roofing system must
be repaired prior to the installation of the membrane.
c. A metal deck must be separated from the Duro-Last membrane by at least 7/16-inch (11 mm) hardboard
(gypsum, plywood, or oriented strand board) or 1-inch (25 mm) rigid insulation. It is the responsibility of
the contractor to ensure that the selected insulation is adequate to span the flutes of the deck. If it is not,
the flutes must be filled with an approved insulation See"Insulation Selection and Installation"for further
details.
d. All plywood surfaces must be smooth and free of all foreign material. Gaps between sheets of plywood
should not exceed 1/4-inch (6 mm). Prior to the installation of the membrane a slip sheet such as
geotextile, 3-mil polyethylene film or duct tape must be installed over any H-clips if they are used on any
plywood decking.
INSTALLATION
WOOD NAILER
Wood nailers must be a#2 grade lumber, or better and must be fastened to the deck, wall or existing secured
nailer in such a manner that they resist 180 lb. of force per linear foot(2,643 N/M) of nailer in any direction.
Fasteners used to attach wood nailers must be spaced no greater than 18-inches (455 mm)apart. Wood nailers
are required in any situation where 1-inch(25 mm)or greater of insulation is added to the roof perimeter edge.
The top of the nailers must be flush with the top of the insulation. Wood nailers are not required at a change of
plane such as the intersection between a parapet wall and the decking.

SPECIFICATION: MECHANICALLY FASTENED SYSTEMS
E
Duro-Last Engineering Services requires that for nailers and other lumber supports identified as ACQ or CA
I treated, only stainless steel fasteners be used. Additionally,for all new construction, untreated lumber should be E
used for nailers with standard e-coated fasteners. Further, treated lumber dating 2003 or earlier is acceptable for
use with e-coated fasteners as lumber prior to 2003 of age is unlikely to contain the copper based treatments.
E
INSULATION SELECTION AND INSTALLATION
Insulation products must be neatly fitted to the roof deck and its penetrations. 4 x 8-feet(1.2 x 2.4 m) insulation
boards must have a minimum of five fasteners/distribution plates installed per board. No gap should exceed 1/4-
inch (6 mm) in width. No more insulation products should be installed than can be covered with membrane and
completed before the end of the day's work or before the onset of inclement weather. Duro-Last fasteners and
Duro-Last plates as well as approved fastening patterns are required for attachment of all insulation products.
The minimum compression characteristics of insulation products as determined by ASTM D-1621 will be as
follows:
• Polyisocyanurate products: 20 psi (137.8 kPa)
• Fiberglass products: 16 psi (110.3 kPa)
• Extruded polystyrene products: 25 psi (172.3 kPa)
• Expanded polystyrene products: 15 psi (124.1 kPa) and 1.5 pcf(24 kg/ma)density (certified)and a {�
minimum 1-inch (25 mm)thick. }
s
• Expanded polystyrene products covered with or laminated to a hardboard facer: 12 psi (82.7 kPa)and
1.25 pcf(20 kg/m3)densities and a minimum of 1-inch (25 mm)thick.
PERIMETER MEMBRANE INSTALLATION
a The first fastening tab on all perimeter roof sections that have tabs parallel with the roof edge or parapet
wall, must be between 24- 36 inches(610-915 mm)from the edge or the wall. If the parapet wall is
greater than 24-inches(610 mm)tall, the perimeter tab may be placed up to 63-inches(1.6 m)away from
the roof edge when utilizing roof sections with maximum lap spacing of 60-inches(1.5 m)on center.
b. When using roof sections with fastening tabs spaced 120-inches(3 m), the first tab along all perimeter
roof edges must be located 24 - 36-inches(610—915 mm)from the edge. The second tab must be
placed 84-96-inches(2130—2440 mm) from the edge. Parapet wall height does not change this
requirement.
c. On buildings with multiple roof levels, treat all roof edges as perimeter edges if they stand 3-feet(915
mm)or more above adjacent or surrounding roof areas.
d. On buildings located in high wind zones(greater than 110 mph [177 km/h])or on structures that are 40-
feet(12 m)or taller, additional wind tabs and/or increased fastener density may be required. Contact the
Duro-Last Engineering Services department for assistance.
MEMBRANE INSTALLATION
a. The prefabricated roof section is unrolled and positioned on the deck to expose the first securement tab.
The securement tab is mechanically fastened to the deck with approved fasteners and stress distribution
plates(see"Fastener Selection and Deck Types", page 6). The roof section is then unfolded and pulled
taut to remove any wrinkles exposing the second securement tab. This process is repeated until the
entire roof section has been mechanically fastened to the deck, including all securement tabs and
edges. The next section of roofing membrane is then positioned to provide a minimum 6-inches (152
mm)overlap. The above procedure is repeated for each roof section.
b. The edge of the stress distribution plate must be installed flush with the outside edge of a fastening tab.
c. The maximum fastener spacing is 18-inches(457 mm) on center in rows 60-inches (1.5 m)apart. For
tab spacing greater than 60-inches (1.5 m), the maximum fastener spacing is 12-inches(305 mm)on
center. (Refer to the Fastener Spacing Table, page 7.)

d When installing membrane, ensure that the appropriate side of the membrane is exposed to elements.
For white and gray membrane, the smooth side should be exposed. On the tan membrane, it will be the
embossed side of the membrane that should be exposed.
e. If the membrane is attached to the support structure beneath the roof deck, special precautions must be
taken. If the membrane is attached to a steel purlin structure, all fasteners must penetrate a minimum of
1-3/4-inch (44 mm)from the top of the purlin using Duro-Last purlin fasteners. If the membrane is being
attached to a wood truss structure, all fasteners must penetrate a minimum of 1-inch (25 mm)from the
top surface of the truss with approved Duro-Last fasteners.
HOT-AIR WELDING
a. Position the membrane so that the top membrane overlaps the bottom membrane a minimum of 6-inches
(152 mm). Ensure the welding area is dry, clean and free of foreign material.
b. Weld the top membrane to the bottom membrane using a hand-held welder or an automatic welding
machine, and silicone roller. A minimum 1-1/2-inch (38 mm)wide continuous weld is required.
c. All field-welded seams must be inspected with a tack claw or similar tool (cotter key extractor), and all
deficiencies repaired prior to inspection by Duro-Last.
FLASHINGS
a. The Duro-Last membrane must not contact surfaces which maintain or exceed temperatures of 120°F
including all insulated chimney pipes, exhaust pipes, and combustible fuel pipes.
b All flashings must be terminated at a minimum of 8-inches (203 mm)above the roof surface.
c. See`Mechanically Fastened"details section for installation references.
TWO WAY AIR VENT
a. Install Duro-Last Two-Way Air Vents following these guidelines:
1. Install at a rate of one vent for every 1,000 ftz of deck area.
2. Do not install the vents near drains or in valleys.
3. Evenly space the vents across the roof area and center them between fastening tabs.
b. It is the contractor's responsibility to ensure that adequate secondary drainage exists to prevent flooding
during extreme weather when water could infiltrate the two-way vent.
c. See Details 5020 for installation references
ROOF DRAINS AND SCUPPERS
a Drain Assemblies with Clamping Rings
1. All existing roofing materials must be removed from drain bowl and clamping ring.
2 Use Duro-Caulk Plus between the membrane and clamping ring (1/2 tube minimum).
3. After the Duro-Last membrane is properly installed onto the bowl and the clamping ring set in
place, all bolts securing the ring must be installed to provide constant, even compression on the
sealant. If bolts are broken or missing, replacements must be installed.
