Zed Section Dimensions

and Properties
The Section reference of a Zed Profile 342mm deep
and 3.2mm thick = 342 Z 32 The first 3 digits of
the section reference indicate the depth of the section
in millimetres (ie 342 equals 342mm deep).
The fourth digit is a letter that signifies the profile
type (ie Z for Zed Profile). The last two digits indicate
the material thickness (ie 32 equals 3.2mm).
Y
X
Lb
The sleeve reference is the same as the Purlin it is

being used in conjunction with, except that it is
prefixed with an S for a standard sleeve and HS
for a heavy end bay sleeve
ie PS 342 Z 32 - Standard 342 Z 32 sleeve.
HEBS 342 Z 32 - Heavy End Bay 342 Z 32 sleeve.

angles are designed to restrain purlins against twist
under wind uplift conditions and contribute support
during sheeting.

Round Lok Anti-Sag Rod

s
Centre
Purlin
25
Round lok anti-sag rods are used for 142, 172, 202, 232
and 262 series and 45 x 45 x 2mm thick lateral support
angles for 302 and 342 series. On roof pitches over
25, purlin spacings over 2.4m or heavy cladding
applications,the lateral support angles must be used on
all sections.
Diameter 16mm
25
For 142,172, 202, 232, 262 series
When no anti-sag rods are used, temporary spacer

bars and propping may be required during the
sheeting of the roof.
For roof pitches greater than 25use the MetSPEC
computer design program to determine section and
bracing requirements.
Whenever round lok anti-sag rods are used the eaves
brace should be included as indicated in the drawing
and the rows made continuous over the apex.
Anti-Sag Rods & Eaves Braces
The bolted apex strut detail is adopted when using

non-restraining cladding, 302 and 342 series purlins
or roof pitches over 25.

In all other cases where an anti-sag system is required,

Metsec tubular sag rods and apex ties are used.

Non Restraining Cladding
When using cladding which is not
fixed in accordance with Note 2 on
page 15 it is necessary to provide
permanent lateral restraint to the
purlins. The MetSPEC purlin design
Software will provide a comprehensive
design solution to any non restraining
cladding application.
NB:- Bolted apex struts and 45mm x
45mm lateral support angles must be
used throughout.
Steep Slopes >25 Pitch

The sheeting and fixings are deemed
adequate in carrying the component of
load in the plane of the roof slope on
pitches up to 25 degrees. For roof
pitches greater than 25 the purlins are
designed for the downslope roof loads. The MetSPEC
purlin design software will quickly determine the
purlin section and bracing requirements for any
application.
NB:- Bolted apex struts and 45mm x 45mm lateral
support angles must be used throughout in lieu of
round lok anti-sag rods.
Mono-Pitched Roofs <25 Pitch

For mono-pitch roofs which are discontinuous at the high
eaves level, diagonal tie wires and braces must always be
used as shown on Page 15. However, if a structural
member of adequate strength is available at the high
eaves level, a threaded rod or eaves brace may be used
thus avoiding the use of diagonal tie wires.

Cantilever Details
When it is required to provide a canopy by
cantilevering the purlins over the gable, simple rules
are given below to enable the engineer to meet
these requirements.
Performance
Stability
With cantilevers it is recommended that the ends are
braced together to provide stability and prevent rotation.
Various details are used for this purpose with a typical
example shown below.
In the approach given it is assumed the sections are

installed in one continuous length i.e. backing span
and overhang and that the sheeting offers full lateral
restraint to the section.
A cleader angle fixed to the top and the bottom of

the purlin will offer sufficient restraint as well as
providing a base for fixing the sheeting and flashing.
Cleader angles should be positively fixed across the
apex to prevent down slope movement.
Deflection Criteria
Mono Pitched Roofs and roof slopes exceeding 25
Purlins selected from this Technical Manual obey a

deflection criteria of SPAN /180 for conventional steel
decking.
Diagonal Tie Wire systems to be included. Alternatively,

a suitable fixing to a structural member must be included
at the top of the slope to resist down slope movement.
The end deflection of a cantilever should be compatible

with this and we recommend the cantilever should
not exceed 28% of the backing span, to meet this
requirement.
Diagonal tie wires must be fixed back to the bottom holes

in the purlin cleat.
Note:For other specialist cases or heavier cladding systems

(i.e. tiles and battens) consult our design office.

Cleader Angles & Rafter Stays

Metsec Cleader Angles are manufactured from
pre-hot dipped galvanised steel angle. They are used
to provide a sheeting face for cladding along gable
rafters or at roof hip intersections.
Two sizes of cleader angle are available:
CL
45 x 45 x 2mm thick
= 1.37 kg/m
100 x 100 x 2mm thick = 3.17 kg/m
CL
Maximum length
CL
A typical detail showing the side cladding fixed to

the purlin with a cleader angle.
= 7.5m
We suggest that the 45 x 45 x 2mm cleader angle

is used on purlin centres up to and including 1.8m.
Above this 100 x 100 x 2mm cleader angle should
be used.
The details show cleader spanning over two purlin
spacings, however multiple spacings can be readily
accommodated. Providing the thickness of the cleader
angle (2.0mm) does not present any problems a
simple overlap can be used. The overall length would
therefore be the purlin centres plus 28mm each end.
The cleader angle can be fitted to either the top or
bottom purlin flange to suit the required detail.
*
*
Dimension to suit standard sleeve piercing
Where possible the standard sleeve fixing holes may be

used for rafter stay fixings, providing the inclination of the
stay is not too steep.
Rafter stays supplied by Metsec are normally
45 x 45 x 2mm thick angle. On deep sections or lattice
trusses, it may be necessary to increase the size of the angle
section used to suit the individual contract requirements.
Where the supporting steelwork is constructed using

deep universal beam sections, lattice trusses, etc.,
rafter stay fixing holes can be added to suit individual
requirements (ideally to suit angle of rafter stay 45o).

Eaves Beams Fixing Details

Metsec Eaves Beams are designed to provide
an unobstructed side sheeting face by the use of
counterformed web holes that accept 16mm diameter
countersunk set screws.
The packing plate accommodates the counterforming
and enables standard eaves braces to be fitted, though
the overall length of the eaves brace needs to be
reduced by 6mm.

General Note
Eaves Beams and Purlins should be selected from the
respective load tables. If necessary, non-standard eaves
bracings can be fabricated to suit individual cases.
It is essential to use bolted web connections when
fixing Eaves Beams to stanchions.
The use of lateral braced connections is necessary within

the span of the Eaves Beam to resist horizontal wind
loading and torsion from eccentric gutter loads.
When braced to the first purlin, as shown, such forces are
dispersed through the diaphragm action of the roof.
It is assumed that the compression flange of the Eaves
Beam is fully restrained by the sheeting.

Typical application: Wall and brickwork restraints,
window cill or header rails where deflection due to
horizontal wind is to be limited to a specific deflection
ratio. eg brickwork restraint commonly limited to a
ratio of SPAN
, as shown in the load tables. If a deflection
300
SPAN
limit greater than 300 is required, then calculate the
capacity for this by multiplying the capacity given in
300
the table by
Dimension X in sliding
anchor fixing plate to suit
standard 18mm Dia. holes in
Metsec rail
The required
limit
SPAN
300
e.g. Required capacity for 500 = 500 x
Table capacity
for span
C-Section Double Span Side Rail System Introduction
28
It is not permissible to use this method to calculate

capacities for deflection limits less than span/300.
For brickwork restraints it is assumed that the wall will
support the C-Rail on the weak axis.
For cases where the wall will not be built until after the
rail erection or where the wall is not to be built up so
that it supports both the inner and outer flanges of the
C-Section on the Y axis, the Metsec side rail support
and diagonal tie systems are required.
It is assumed in all cases that a cladding system is
securely fixed to the rail to stabilise the outer flange.
Sliding anchor support to top of

wall. Slotted ties to suit brick
coursing.
For window cill support rails where the weight of the

window is to be supported by the rail, see the side rail
support system for this condition, shown on P44.
Maximum Span
The maximum double span
section length is 15m,
therefore the maximum
column centres are 7.5m.

This arrangement can be
used where stringent
deflection limits are applied.

Metsec diagonal tie wires provide significant benefits
in terms of both drawing office detailing and site
erection time. They are delivered fully assembled to
avoid the possibility of lost items on site. The assembly is
protected by galvanising and is provided with adjustable
ends for easy erection. To enable length of diagonal tie
wire to be determined, the depth between rails (B) and
the distance between rail holes (A) must be given.
Metsec will ensure the correct length is supplied.
It is important that the end bracket is always

bolted to the cleat hole nearest the Stanchion.

Horizontal Cladding
Arrangements & Restraints
In order to achieve the alignment tolerances asssociated
with some horizontal cladding systems it is recommended
that C-Section side rails are used in conjunction with
Horizontal Cladding Support (HCS) or Panel Joint Rail
(PJR) as vertical supports.
The maximum spacing of vertical supports to horizontal
panels is shown and is necessary to provide adequate
restraint to the rails. If this cannot be achieved then
please refer to Metsec for advice.
Sequence of erection of the side rails, side rail supports
and diagonal tie restraints similar to the
recommendations shown on pages 33 to 35 inclusive.

Panel Support Details
For economy it is recommended that Metsec Horizontal
Cladding Support (HCS) with riveted end cleats are
used as vertical supports to the horizontal cladding
panels.
Joints in panels may require a wider flange for fixing
purposes which can be provided by using a Metsec
Panel Joint Rail (PJR).
Alignment of the steel face can easily be achieved by
adjustment of the horizontal rails on slotted cleats at
stanchion positions.
Metsec have carried out comprehensive testing at
Strathclyde University to verify the adequacy of this
type of support without slip under the required load.

These tolerances can be achieved by using Metsec
C-Section rails supported on cleats with slotted holes.
Metsec have carried out comprehensive testing at

cleats without slip under the required loads.
The recommended torque on a Grade 8.8 bolt is 244Nm.

Window Trimmers
Used in conjunction with C-Section side rails, C-Section
window trimmers provide the necessary surface fixings
for windows, claddings and associated flashings.
The window trimmer should ideally be of the same
depth as the main supporting rail and be connected
using standard trimmer cleats. Counterformed holes
provide the necessary unobstructed fixing surface.

Metsec Zed & C-Section Side Rail Systems combined

with the appropriate fire resistance wall cladding system
have performed satisfactorily in fire tests up to 4 hours
duration. The period of fire resistance is dependant
upon the construction and materials used in the fire
wall cladding, therefore certification for the fire
resistance period should be obtained from the cladding
supplier. Accessories and column stays need no facility
for expansion and are supplied as standard items.

Slot
Under fire conditions the rails expand. To achieve the

necessary movement the column fixing cleat should be
slotted longitudinally. All fixing bolts should be fitted with
combustible washers which collapse under heat, thus
loosening the bolts and allowing expansion. This reduces
distortion and buckling of the rail, ensuring integrity of the
wall construction.
The diagrams illustrate an odd bay arrangement
of rails for a fire wall. Grids (1) to (5) are designed as
sleeved systems with the sleeves and standard cleats
positioned on the same column lines, simplifying detailing
and keeping one type of cleat on each column. The slotted
cleats are positioned at alternate columns.
Firewall Connection Arrangement
1
The philosophy of rail expansion under fire, is that

with the sleeved system the rail is locked at the sleeved
position and expansion occurs to the left and to the
right of this connection into the slotted position and
expansion occurs to the left and to the right of this
connection into the slotted cleats. Whereas with the
butt system one side is locked and the free end is
allowed to expand into the slotted cleat.
Utilising the standard slotted cleat detail, the rail length
for both systems equates to the distance of column to
column less 35mm. When cleating, clearance between
ends of rails should be increased to allow for expansion
of the corresponding system, as shown.

Lightweight Access Walkways

Lightweight Access Walkways constructed with Metsec
components have been used on many internal
applications offering the advantages of less weight
and ease of erection in areas of limited access as the
components can be delivered ready for assembly.
The main span beams consist of C-sections with lateral
members giving torsional restraint at handrail
standard positions which must be cleated off the webs
of the C-s as illustrated.
Note:- For guidance on C-section sizes, contact the

The maximum recommended safe working loads given

in the table below are intended for guidance only. They
are for roof pitches less than 12o and will be conservative
for some of the more innovative or heavy duty clips
available. Please refer to the clip manufacturer for
advice.
NB Beware of published clip load capacities as these
may be for the clip only. Unacceptable movement of the
purlin flange particularly on steep slopes may cause slip
or failure of the fixings.
An equivalent service load used for the design of the
purlins may be calculated as follows:Point loads from services = 25kg at 1.2m spacing
Purlin centres = 1.8m
Equivalent service load = 25 x 9.81 x 10 -3= 0.114kN/m2
1.2 x 1.8
By using a Metstrut channel fixed between purlin lines,
loads can be evenly distributed as shown in detail D.
C-Section Trimming Detail

Using standard gauge line holes, a channel or angle
trimmer can be fitted and used to carry heavier or large
pieces of equipment as shown in detail E.
Detail D
An allowance should be made when selecting sections

from the design load tables if services are to be hung
from the purlins, either as a uniformly distributed load
for a small service load or a point load if the load is of a
large magnitude. Our engineers are available to advise
on purlin selection for unusual cases.

Suspended Ceiling Supports

In many buildings there is a requirement for the
provision of a suspended ceiling. Metsec C-Sections
provide an economical and efficient solution.
One row of lateral support is required at mid span up

to and including 6.1m. Two rows of lateral supports on
larger spans fitted at 1/3 span positions.
The MetSPEC design software can be used to select

these sections.
In all cases it is essential to secure the Lateral Support

members to the perimeter wall or structural member to
prevent lateral movement of the entire ceiling grid.
C-Sections being lightweight are easy to handle and erect

in both simple and difficult locations.
Pre-engineered components give fast build construction in
minimum time, however, if necessary materials can be
supplied unpierced for on site manipulation.
Metsec manufacture a comprehensive selection

of cold rolled channels, tees and angles etc, used
in the support of ceiling tiles/boarding.
The lateral support member shown is bolted on standard

gauge lines.
