Old Style Pitch Roofing
Coal Tar Roofing Pitch
Tar is a very familiar word, how ever it has different meanings for different people. To many it is any black liquid adhesive or plastic sub stance; however, it is much more than this. It is a hydrocarbon, mean ing it is composed primarily of car bon and hydrogen and is therefore an organic compound.
Tar is obtained from the "destruc tive distillation" of coal, primarily bituminous coal. This means when coal is heated to very high tempera tures without contact with air (thus not allowing the combustion of coal and its derivatives) the coal mole cules in effect are "cracked" into little molecules (gas), medium mole cules (tar) and coke. We see, there fore, that the more proper term is Coal Tar.
Coal tar, through further distillation processes, is refined and separated into products of great commercial
usefulness and value; PITCHES--of various consisten cies such as roofing material, waterproofing products, protec
tive coatings for metals, mason
ry, etc. CREOSOTE--for wood-preserving.
CHEMICAL OILS--for use in the manufacture of drugs, dyes, paints, varnishes, cosmetic*, plastics, synthetic rubber, etc;
Coal tar is indeed a vital and valu able product that produces materials for many industries in our world of
today. in the ever-growing construction
industry a very valuable tar derivative is Coal-Tar Roofing Pitch. Its value is found in the fact that it has superb water and corrosive resistance quali ties as well as being an excellent adhesive especially applicable in adhering the tarred roofing felts to gether in buiit-up-roofing. These
qualities are due to the unique prop erty that was endowed to it by na ture. Without going into a highly technical chemical analysis it can be most simply stated that Coal Tar Roofing Pitch is a balanced organic compound. The atoms in Roofing Pitch--carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) '--have a very strong molecular at traction or bond one to another and hence attacking atoms of oxygen (Q) cannot attach themselves to the hy drogen atoms of Roofing Pitch and form a water molecule (H 0) that will be absorbed into the pitch.
Coal Tar Roofing Pitch is therefore inherently resistant to molecular penetration by water. Coal Tar Roof ing Pitch is nature's own balanced answer to waterproofing (roofs and elsewhere), adhesive bonding, and chemical resistance, especially to waterborne chemicals.
Coal Tar Pitch Built-up Roofing
Koppers coal tar pitch built-up roofing systems consist of layers of Koppers Old Style Pitch and Koppers approved tarred felt, surfaced with a heavy top pouring of Koppers Old Style Pitch into which is embedded an aggregate.
Koppers coal tar pitch built-uproofing systems are used whenever a roof is exposed to water and/or cor rosion and on ail level or low sloped roofs where long, maintenance-free service is required. Particularly rec ommended for:
All 'dead' level roofs All water cooled roofs , Low sloped roofs with retarded drainage Low sloped roofs with occasional water ponding (Note: coal tar pitch roofs are especially suitable to withstand the water attack around drainage areas on roofs that are pitched to the drains.)
All buildings with level or low sloped roofs that are built for long service life Coal tar pitch built-up roofing pro vides one of the most durable roofing membranes known. The advantages are found in the inherent superior characteristics of coal tar pitch for this purpose. This is the time-proven roofing system for level and low sloped roofs. Coal tar pitch has a natural resis tance to water, air and water vapor penetration. A tight molecular struc
ture enables coal tar pitch to perma nently withstand water penetration and resist oxidation of the roof sur face. Koppers water-cooled roof spe cifications take advantage of the unique water-resistant characteristics of coal tar pitch to give you long term roofing performance.
Another unique feature of coal tar roofing is its self-healing ability. Aliigatoring and hairline cracks common
Koppers Old Style Pitch
Koppers Old Style coal tar roofing pitch is carefully manufactured to standards which have been regularly improved over many years. Koppers Old Style Pitch is manufactured to exceed the minimum requirements of the following specifications:
Federal Specification RP381 Type I ASTM D-450 Type A Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc.

Koppers No. 15 Tarred Felt
Koppers approved tarred felt is manufactured to meet the following specifications:

to most materials, eventually cause damage to the roofing membrane. Coal tar pitch has a property known as "cold-flow" which automatically corrects these conditions before seri ous damage takes place. This "coldflow" feature heals small mechanical fractures at normal temperatures.
Time and statistics have proven that coal tar roofing pitch when ap plied in accordance with the specifi cations in this manual results in the highest acceptable quality level of any built-up roofing system. Coal tar pitch is a nature-formed polynuclear targe molecule compound. Coal tar roofing pitch is selectively manufac tured fraction which satisfies the basic requirements for long-term roofing service on level and lowsloped roofs.
When you specify Koppers Coal Tar Roofing Systems, you are assur ing your building owner-client of long-term roofing performance.

Koppers Bitumen is a self-healing material and thus is highly beneficial to successful roofing. There are cer

Koppers Bitumen heals these me chanical fractures at normal tempera tures before serious damage takes place.
Forces are developed in all struc tures due to temperature, moisture, and time (aging) changes. Because these forces are very large in rela tion to the possible strength devel oped in a roofing membrane; and because severe long-time weather exposure changes all materials, at tempts to build roofs with strength comparable to structural forces, or long term elasticity have been rarely successful. KSR is based on superior resistance to water and weather; the "cold flow" feature, and the ability to achieve and retain (even develop through "cold flow") adhesion to substrate, membrane, flashing at tachments and aggregate for a long
service life.

important characteristics of any con

Tha deck is the base over which the built-up roofing, or Insulation and builtup roofing is applied. Where the term deck Is used In this manual' without ref erence to Insulation, it shall daaignata tha surfaca over which roofing is to be ap plied. in the csss of KSR the deck will be the structural base over which the system is sppilsd. All decks shall be clean, smooth, dry, rigid and frae of de bris. Any deck defect shall be corrected before application of roofing. All decks snail be installed in accordance with the deck manufacturer's specifications and shall b# in compliance with Koppers Gen eral Requirements.
In approving any deck as satisfactory to receive a Koppers roof, only the deck surface is accepted. It It the responsi bility of the building designer and the deck manufacturer to provide for expan sion and contraction in a manner that will provide a stable base for the roofing; for support of maximum anticipated loads; secure attachments vertically and later ally, and the selection of the deck mate rial and construction datsfls including
their ability to contain bitumens. Koppers will not assume responsibility for deck de fects, the affect of deck defects on Koppars roofs, or bitumen seepage.

All projtctiona or openings In the dack should be completed prior to the appli cation of tha roofing.
Optimum adhtslon to the deck ie nec essary for good roof performance. Where Koppers Old Styfa Pitch, Kopper Bitumen or steep asphalt Is used for adhesion, questionable decks may be tested for dryness and adhesion by pouring one pint of the bitumen, hatted to application tsmporaturs. over a representative area or areas of the deck. Tha deck la not sat isfactory if the bitumen foams or bubbles, or upon cooling to ambient temperature may be stripped clean of the deck.
3.1.2 Condition* of Surfaca to Receive Roofing
Ail surfaces must be dry, reasonably smooth, clean, rigid and free from dabris. loose materials, projections and holas which might causa rupture of the mem brane.
Metal Decks: Decks of this type must also be free from loose rust and oily sub stances. Daftaction should not axcaed L/240.
Pouted Portland Cement Concrete, Pre cast Structural Concrete Sections, Poured Qypaum, Lightweight Insulating Concrete: Decks of these types with In cline* of one-half (W) inch par foot or more shall permit nailing, or treated nail ing strips must be sat in the dack and installed prior to roofing. Where insula tion la specified, nailing strips may b* secured to the deck surface and shall be level with the surface of the insulation. Those strips should be spaced not more than three (3) feat apart and placed up and down and not across the slop* of the roof. Roof deck shall be property graded to outlets.
Precast Docks: (concrete, gypsum, wood fiber) Decks of these types, whether grouted or not shall be caulked with Koppers Flashing Cement which shaft be applied to that tha top surface is level and smooth. Fait stripping four (4) to six (6) inch** wida sat in a troweling of tha cement la recommended to assist In lev eling uneven joints and bridge the joint openings thus providing a batter surface for the roofing materials.

Lightweight Insulating decks Include lightweight aggregate concrete (20 to 40 lbs. per cu. ft Oven dry density); foamed concrete, gypsum and thermosetting as phaltic decks. Except for Dycon6 Con crete a low water content closed cell ag gregate insulating concrete, all other lightweight insulating deck systems must
be capable of venting excess water vapor to the underside. Koppers will not accept thMa lightweight inaulating decks to be placed over vapor barriers, poured con crete substrates, unvented metals, on any type of base which will not permit these materials to vent from the underside. It is necessary to prevent a water vapor pnaeure build-up under tha built-up-roof. Occasional, or spot vents through the roofing at the only venting method are not satisfactory subatttutM tar underside or continuous vented systems.
In addition, lightweight insulating decks shall have sufficient cohesive strength to provide firm attachment of the roofing to the deck and framing to prevent wind up lift damage or blow-off*. Nailable decks must be capable of developing at the very minimum, a 40 pound nail pull-out or withdrawal strength. If the material* do not achieve this value, additional faatariere will be required over and above thoM quantifies described in the ensuing speci fication (standard is approximately 100 fasteners per square) to achieve our mini mum attachment standard of 30 lb. per square foot Koppers will not be responsi ble for failure of the insulating deck to rsmaln Integral or for disbonding of the roofing from the surface of the deck.
Provisions should be made wherever poMlbl* to provide additional venting such as notched wood perimeter nailers, etc., in conjunction with the venting from the underside of the deck. If board type insulation ia to be applied over a light weight Insulating dack. provisions must be made betwMn the fill and tha board Insulation to prevent fill moisture from af fecting the insulation and roofing.

Because Kopper* Bitumen (KSR) dis charges an extremely small volume of fume* which are only slightly visible at application temperatures, it is necessary to use an accurate thermometer so that the correct temperature will be known.
if heat is desired during a holding peri od at the jobeito while malarial is not be ing drawn off and replenished as under normal usage, kettle temperature should be reduced and not permitted to exceed 350*F for Old Style Pitch and Kopper* Bitumen or 425*F for steep asphalt The kettle should be full. These temperatures are applicable to job conditions and do not apply to holding or storage in kettles In excess of 4 hours. If bitumen Is not to be used for periods over 4 hours kettle should be shut off.
Prolonged storage in small containers, such as roofing kettles, at temperatures exceeding those detailed above may re sult in changes in softening point ductil- . Ity, and other characteristics which can adversely affect the performance and life of the bitumen.
Old Style Pitch & Kopper* Bitumen may be contained in 1000 gallon or greatar capacity heated and automatically con trolled closed vessel tankers at 375*F for periods, not exceeding 96 hours.
3.1.8 Application of Felt
Plies of fait must be laid shingle fash ion. not only because this method pro duces a stronger membrane, but because it also makes it possible to construct a roof of any desired number of piles In a single progressive operation. Whara a water flow direction exists, felts should be applied so that the direction of flow is not against the laps. Broom or press all plies of lait into the hot bitumen and lay without wrinkles, buckles or kinks, so that the finished roof is free of pockets or blisters. Each fait ply shall be completely covered with a uniform mopping of bitu men.
The number of plies are controlled by varying the widths of the edge laps. Threeply roofing, for example. Is achieved by lapping each ply approximately two thirds over the preceding ply; for 4-plies, a lap of approximately three fourths the width is required. Kopper*' felts are marked at the factory with lap lines for this purpose. Except as specifically provided for in Kop-
pers specifications, application of faits in a method where two plies ars laid over two plies, three plies over one ply. or any combination, other than all plies in shingle fashion, will not be permitted at anytime.
Whan beginning a membrane roofing installation, appropriate width starting strips of felt shall be used at th* starting point to achieve the specification ply build-up at that point so that successive plies laid shingla fashion will produca the ply requirements. Overlap ends of ail con necting piles of felt (end laps) not less than 10 Inches. End stripping or taping of these laps is not permitted.
It is advisable on applications of felts on slopes from Vi inch to 1 Inch per foot, felts be run with th* slop*, up and over the ridge of the roof (parallel to the slope line) and each sheet back or blind nailed along th* end lap closest to the deck at the high point end of each roll.
Koppers recommands that all felts be backnailed when the slope of the deck is one-half (%) inch per foot or more.
3.1.9 Application of Koppers Glass
Fiber Insulation/Roof Base (KSR)
Koppers Qlasa Fiber insulation/Roof Base sheets shall be stored with the black side up. For storage the sides of the sheets shall be kept free from exposure to driving rain and snow to prevent excessive
moisture pick-up. Sheets shall be stored on platforms above puddles, snow. etc. As used in th* Koppers KSR systems the protection required from moisture expo sure is not as great as convantional systems.
It is necessary that th* edges or perim eters be unsealed for venting th* insula tion chamber. Ventilated underdeck air
spaces are recommended where ceilings are used. It should be noted that th* use of ceilings which are insulated will nor mally require th* use of thicker Kop pers Glass Fiber Insulation/Roof Base to increase th* insulating value and com pensate for th* lower underside deck temperatures resulting from th* insulat ing value of th* ceiling.
Roofing equipment should be rubber
(elastomer) tired, free from sharp edges
or projections and loaded in a manner to
prevent puncture or rupture of the roofing
system components applied. Protection,
cleaning and repair provisions (such as
plywood work and storage areas), must be
provided to prevent damage from other
trades. Broken or damaged Koppers Glass
Fiber Insulation/Roof Base can only be
used when the undamaged portion is cut
out for application areas where fill-in
pieces are required. The end and side
joints may be laid in continuous straight
lines.
When more than one layer of Koppers
Glass Fiber Insulation/Roof Base Is used,
joints In each layer shall not coincide.
The prim* recommended adhesive for installing Koppars Glass Fiber Insulation/ Roof Basa it Koppars Staap Asphalt Whan adhssivas othar than this sra dasi rad thsy shall comply with Koppars min imum Attachmant requirements (Saction 3.3.4, paga 10). Thasa adhasivas shall ba appliad in accordanea with tha Spaciflsrs and/or adhasiva manufacturars' requiremants to achiava propar attachmant Howavar tha adhasiva must produca a contact point on a minimum of 12* cantors with a minimum dlamatar of ona (1) inch contact batwaan tha dock and tha Insulation. For bast results tha adhasiva should ba at least Vi" deep at tha contact points.
3.1.10 Application of the Koppars Insulation Base Tape (KSR)
Koppars Insulation Base Tape shall bo applied over all of the top joints of tha Koppars Glass Fibar Insulation/Roof Base sheets including those at cants, flashings, fascia gravel stops, etc. Where two layers are used, tha middle layer must not ba stripped at tha joints. Whan applying tha Koppars Insulation Basa Tape, tha Koppars Steep Asphalt used to embed tha tape shall ba uniformly spread at tha pre scribed application rata and extend at least 1" on each side of the tape. Tha tape must ba pulled flat to avoid bucklee. fishmouths, ate., and thoroughly embedded
in tha adhesive and surface coated at a rata of 25 lbs. par square. Tha tape shall ba centered on the joint and laid flat without attempt to maintain an exact cen terline by causing flshmoutha, buckles, etc. If the tape runs off from the centerIfne of the joint more than two inches, cut the tape, make an and lap and start a new run. End laps shall be a minimum of 2". Where adhesion voids in the taping'appli cation appear at the time of application or as water leaks before tha final roofing is applied a top glazing with Koppars Steep Asphalt will ba a satisfactory means of repair.
Where tha Koppars Glass Fiber Insula tion substrate Is a monolithic poured re inforced Portland Cement Concrete, Koppars Bitumen may be substituted for Kop pars Steep Asphalt.
3.1.11 Application of Old Style Pitch or Koppers Bitumen and Aggregate Surface
The final application of the Koppers Specification Roofing Is a triple weight application of Old Style Pitch or Koppers Bitumen, 75 lbs./aq., Into which Is dietributad an aggregate of slag or gravel. This aggregate acts as sn armor coat against mechanical forces, such as hall, and to deflect the intense radiation of the sun.
The application of the Old Style Ptteh or Koppers Bitumen and aggregate must be done at the time the felta are applied: except In periods of hot dry weather when the top surfacing may be delayed over night

3.2 INSULATION
3.2.1 Board Type Insulations (Old Style Pitch Systems)
These insulations come In varying thicknesses and sizes. The provisions or manner of attachment which follows in the various specifications are suggestions, only. Should the manner of attachment as suggested, conflict with that specified by the individual insulation manufacture, the insulation manufacturers specifications shall be followed, and in addition, shall be in compliance with Koppers General Requirements.
The roofing Insulation must be kept dry at all times. It must be of a type aprovad by Koppers for use with a Koppers built-up roof. It should only be applied over a deck complying with all of the General Requirements. Work must be scheduled to prevent damage from other trades and equipment. Roofing equipment must be of a type which will not damage the insulation used. Broken or demaged Insulation sheets can only be used when the undamaged portion is cut out for ap plication areas where fill-in pieces are re quired. ' If the deck slope Is one-half (Vi) inch per foot or more the insulation must be able to retain nails, or wood nailers must be installed perpendicular to the slope at each course of insulation. Provision for wood nailers in this fashion will provide both a surface for anchoring of roofing felts which shall be laid perpendicular to the wood nailers as well as an insulation stop. Spacing of nailers must be such that the insulation fits snugly with the nailers but must not be force fitted.
No more insulation shall be laid at any one time than can be protected by pitch and felt in case of sudden wealther chang es. Edges of insulation shall be brought closely together and shall not be forced Into place. Where insulation joins vertical surfaces the insulation shall be cut in a neat manner allowing at least one-half (Vi) Inch clearance.
Whan more than one (1) layer of insula tion is used, joints in each layer shall not coincide. All layers shall be parallel to preceding layers.
3 2-3- Vapor Barrier
Vapor barriers are normally used where the heat flow direction and/or humidity within the building, during any climate or oc cupancy cycle, might cause the dew point or condensation to occur under the built-
KOPPERS 7.1/Ko Architectural and Construction Materials
up roofing within the insulation chamber. It is Important that the vapor barrier, when installed, provide a continuous seal, including ventilators, skylights, peripheral walls, and other terminations from the source of the water vapor. Ventilation provisions of the insulation chamber, when a vapor barrier Is used, are dic tated by the heat flow cycle and clima tology of the building. Generally a build ing with a preponderant heat flow-up cycle should; have an insulation chamber venti lated to the exterior. A building with a preponderant heat flow down cycle In humid area, should not be ventilated to the exterior If the dew point can be reached above the deck and In the insula tion chamber.
Alternate vapor barrier systems to those described on the specification pages are as follows and offered for assistance and reference:
s. Vinyl Type Fire resistant adhesive and vinyl-type
vapor barrier as listed by and applied as specified by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., and Factory Mutual may be used. Adequate adhesion of the vapor barrier to the deck and adhesion of the Insula tion to the vapor barrier for securing the entire system against wind uplift and movement, must be attained. (See Section
3.3.4. Attachments page 10)
Note: Whan Installing Insulstlon over vinyl-type vapor barrier apply approved adhesive over the approved vapor barrier In ribbons at the rate specified by U.L. and F.M.
b. Kraft Type Fire retardant kraft lamination type va
por barriers, applied with Steep Asphalt as listed by and applied as specified by Factory Mutual may be used. Adequate adhesion of vapor barrier to the deck and adhesion of insulation to the vapor bar rier for securing the entire system against wind uplift and movement, must be at tained. (See Section 3.3.4 Attachments page 10)
Note: This system is rated for insurance purposee by Factory Mutual only.
Cara must be exercised so that the va por barrier is not ruptured during installa tion. This is particularly true in areas over the flutes of the steel deck.
3A3 Water Stops (Temporary Protection)
Water stops consisting of two (2) plies of tarred felt and moppings of Old Style Pitch for flat roofs or asphalt felt and asphalt for steep roofs extending onto the deck at least six (6) inches and four (4) inches on top of the insulation, shall be applied at the end of each day's work over exposed edges of insulation.
Water stops shall be continuous and tight.
In the KSR system, the Koppers Glass Fiber Insulation/Roof Base may be sealed off with a ply of Insulation Base Tape set in Koppers Steep Asphalt along the edge and covered with Koppers Steep Asphalt.
These temporary protective measures must be removed cleanly when work is re sumed to prevent blocking moisture vapor movement to vented edge details.
3.4 Cut-offs (Permanent Installation)
Venting of roof insulation at walls, curbs, eaves, etc., is recommended for all but a few special roof structures. There fore. cut-offs should not be installed at edges of insulation adjoining these areas for venting purposes.
Cut-offs may be installed, however, pro vided they are constructed to run in one direction continuously to vented edges and provided no section of the roofing is Isolated or blocked from venting.
13 OTHER REQUIREMENTS
3.3.1 Materials Protection
Roll roofing materials and insulation should be stored indoors if possible, oth erwise it shall be protected by raised plat forms and covered with suitable weather proof protective coverings such as tar paulins, plastic sheeting, etc.
3&2 Wood Nailing Strips
All non-nallable decks require wood nailing strips at eaves, edges, walls, roof openings, etc. for proper securing of metal flanges. Nailers must be securely and firmly attached to the deck or through to its supporting members. Nailers shall extend not less than 1* beyond the apron or flange.
Roofing felts for all decks having a slope of one-half (Vi) inch per foot or more must be back nailed and therefore non-nailable decks must be furnished with treated wood nailing strips. Wood nailers, installed on or in non-nailable decks for slopes one-half (V4) Inch per foot or more or when insulation is re quired of a non-nailable type, shall be run in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the felts are to be laid.
Nailers should be treated to preserve their condition and hence their nail re tentive power for the expected life of the roofing. Creosote or oil bom preservatives may affect the roofing they contact and should not be used. Nailers should be pressure treated with a water born pre servative such as Wolman salts or with penta applied in a liquified petroleum gas carrier such as the Cellon Process.

For procaduraa on non-bondad roofing applications, consult your local Koppara raprasantativa or Koppara Co. In Pitta* burgh.
3.3,4 Attachment
Maximum adhesion or secure attach ment of all components In the roofing as sembly is necassary to satisfactory long term performance of the roofing mem brane. For proper adhesion of all roof components, Koppers suggests that the adhesive and fasteners, in the quantities specified by the manufacturer, be capable of passing a minimum uplift resistance of 30 pounds per square foot (pef). This up lift resistance translates into adequate lateral attachment of the buitt-uproofing system.
When Building Code requirements dic tate a higher uplift resistance than our minimum requirement additional fasten ers or adhesive will be required over and above the quantities described in the en suing specifications.
Solid mopping has been found to pro vide an uplift resistance in excess of 120
psf. Strip mopping, as suggested in the spe
cifications in this manual, has been found to provide an uplift resistance in excess of SO psf.
When nails or fasteners are used, they must be nailed through flat tin disks or have sufficiently large heads to prevent fracture or puncture through the roofing felts.
The following are the namee of some manufacturers who provide nail and/or fastening devices for use wtth built-up roofing:
E/S Products, Inc., New Rochelle. New York

Sines all materials expand and contract due to temperature and/or moisture, the use, location, and design of building ex pansion joints, especially the roof struc ture system, should be taken Into con sideration at the time of original building design.
Although provisions for adequate ex pansion joints are the responsibility of the building designer, Koppers offers the fol lowing recommendations for the protec tion of the roofing system against splits
tion as derived from Koppers long experi ence in the roofing industry. The design criteria and details contained herein have been compiled and are offered as a guide for consideration to assist the architect, owner and rooter in an attempt to provide the beet root poaeibie for long, troublefree service. Responsibility, however, for design of any roofing system, remains with the architect or engineer and build ing owner.

tlaba and gypsum maial bound planks. AH uneven slabs should be raaet or leveled off
so that the root will be laid on a flat and even surface, free from projections and low areas. Because these slabs are precast, the possibility of a high moisture content being
present Is more remote than in the poured gyptum deck. Poured gypsum decks sometimes cause trou

BITUMEN
Koppers Bitumen has superb water and corrosion resistance, and acts as an excellent adhesive.-jhe bitumen has a self-healing ability because of a property known as "cold-flow." This allows hairline cracks to heal automatically. Because Koppers bitu men contains low volatile oils, the surface will not evaporate as fast as conventional roof surfaces.
TWO SEPARATE PLIES OF FELT
Koppers felts are specially selected to give the greatest strength-to-thickness- ratio available from organic felted membranes. They are heavier and stronger than conventional roof ing felts, yet easy to apply.
GLASS FIBER INSULATION
"Our Glass Fiber Insulation espe
cially designed for the system roof, has two distinct advantages. (1) Be
cause of its great weathering ability, you can dose a structure fast and it
will serve as a temporary roof. (2) It
is not subject to the blistering that is
so prevalent with other insulations. Also, once, the insulation is seal
stripped with our tape, it becomes
an integral part of the roof.
.
TAPE
Koppers Glass Fiber Tape is set in bitumen at pre-roofed insulation joints. Seal stripping with glass fiber tape helps make insulation more stable.

6. Koppers Flashing Specifications
6. General
Application Detail
Flashings are the terminal closures
of a roofing system which perform a
waterproofing, and in some systems,
a decorative function. Flashings must
be installed at all intersections formed
by vertical surfaces. Their import
ance cannot be stressed too strongly.
Water entering the roofing system
through flashings can result in water
vapor forces which will destroy the
effectiveness of the roofing.
Koppers flashings are an integral
part of a Koppers roof. Designed for
flexibility so that slight movements
do not dislodge them and fastened
securely to the wall, they give many
years of service.
It is particularly Important that the
top edge of the flashing be protected
by counter flashing, which will insure
a diversion of the water away from
any opening which might develop be
tween flashing and wall. In qgy case
where the design or anchoring system
of metal counter flashing is difficult,
the top of the flashing system should
be double stripped with Koppers
Glasfab 4" wide set in Koppers tar
base cement for Specification 110 or
Koppers flashing cement in Specifi
cation 108.
'
Metal work is only useful for dec
orative, water shedding, or protec
tion against mechanical damage, and
is not a waterproofing part of the
flashing system. Because of the high
coefficient of expansion of sheet
metals and the large ' temperature
changes experienced on a roof, sheet
metal or exposed metal components
must be isolated from the waterproof
ing components of the roofing and flashing system as efficiently as pos sible to prevent the metal from split ting the membrane.
Flashing should be installed as roofing progresses to prevent water damage to insulation or deck under the roofing. If this is not possible water cut-offs must be installed and later removed when flashing is in stalled. Metal counter flashing or a. top seal of Glasfab and flashing ce ment must be installed as flashing
progresses.
.
The basic Koppers flashings re
quire a metal cap flashing to be in
serted in the raggle immediately upon
completion of base flashing. The cap
flashing is to extend into the raggle
not less than two (2) inches and is to
have not less than- a four (4) inch
exposed apron extending down over
the gle
base flashing. Completely fill rag with Koppers flashing cement.
i
.
NOTE:
ii
1. If bonded flashing is required, it
must be installed in conjunction with
a Koppers bonded roof and can be
bonded for standard periods up to
but not greater than the period for '
which the roofing is bonded. To be
bonded, flashings must be set at
least 714" above the roofing base.
2. Metal Cap flashings are not bond-
able and are not included under any
flashing bond.
.
3. Metal work of any description used
as flashing or a part of a flashing sys tem is not bondable and is not in cluded under any flashing bond.
