Steel SIP Installation Methods

Bead of sealant or expandable foam under track, then fasten with

anchor bolts, wedge anchors or wedge bolts (size and spacing per

plans)

Must be plumb in both directions, attach to base with ¾” SMS all sides, then corner screws as follows ………………….

Butt corner with 18 ga. channel attached with #10 x ¾” SMS on first panel then thru screw with SIPLD screws with washer. Attach all panels to base track with #10 x ¾” SMS

with every 3 panels run add top channel and wind brace as required, at this time only attach the pitched wall cap on exterior side with ¾” SMS , leaving interior side loose

Attach all walls to base and top

with ¾” SMS screws

Ridge Beams are field assembled with 2 vertical steel “C” members and a 18 ga. Track top and bottom attached with ¾” SMS per plans

Hangers can be purchased

from Simpson or fabricated

with 18 ga. angle

The interior surface of the wall and roof panel is typically furred out with 1 1/2" furring channels to promote conventional surface mounted installation of wiring and plumbing

Ductwork can be placed in dropped ceiling areas

Typically, plumbing is installed in interior walls and floors, but not in exterior walls. Where exterior wall vent pipes are necessary, chases can be formed in the foam cores or the wall framed out

Installing island vents or loop vents is also a common practice
