Holes for inserting Fitting / Fixing Accessories must be Drilled and Never Punched. The Holes be 2MM Greater in Diameter than that of the Screw or bolt used.
Hook or crack bolts and coach screws should be 8 MM or more in Diameter. It is Essential that the Nuts of the Hook / Crank Bolts or Heads of Coach Screws Should Bear on galvanized Iron Flat washer which in turns is Bedded on Bitumen washer. The Screw or Bolt should be Tightened only sufficiently to Ensure Snugfit of the Bitumen washer over the bolt hole so that natural movement in sub-structure of the roof will not Damage the sheeting.
