5.5.1 "Foam -On Tile" is limited to use of the following Approved tile adhesives unless tensile adhesion / long
term aging data from an accredited testing laboratory is provided.
➢ Tri-Built S/A HT TU Underlayment with 3M11" 2-Component Roof Tile Adhesive AH-160 (FL6332) or Dow
TileBond'TM Roof Tile Adhesive .(FL717)
5.6 Allowable substrates are noted below:
5.6.1 Direct -Bond to Deck:
Tri-Built Sand-R SA Shingle Underlayment, Tri-Built S/A HT TU Underlayment or Tri-Built Smooth HT S/A
Underlayment applied to:
➢ Plywood; ASTM D41 primed plywood; OSB; ASTM D41 .primed OSB; ASTM D41 primed structural
concrete.
While not required over plywood, OSB or Southern Yellow Pine substrates, TRI-BUILT recommends priming
the deck if the final roof cover is not slated for installation within 24 hours. Note: TRI-BUILT requires
tongue -and -groove board decking be covered with plywood or OSB prior to installation of the self -
adhering underlayment.
5.6.2 Bond -to -Insulation:
Tri-Built S/A HT TU Underlayment applied to:
➢ Dens Deck Prime; SECUROCK Gypsum -Fiber Roof Board.
For installation under mechanically attached prepared roof coverings, insulation shall be attached per
minimum requirements of the prepared roof covering manufacturer's Product Approval. For installations
under foam -on tile systems, insulation attachment shall be designed by a qualified design professional and
installed based on testing of the insulation/underlayment system in accordance with FM 4474, Appendix D
or TAS 114, Appendix J.
5.6.3 Bond to Mechanically Attached Base Laver:
➢ ASTM D226, Type I or II felt.

5.6.4 Wind Resistance for Underlayment Systems in Foam -On Tile Applications: FRSA/TRI April 2012 (04-12)
does not address wind uplift resistance of all underlayment systems beneath foam -on tile systems, where
the underlayment forms part of the load -path. The following wind uplift limitations apply to direct -deck
underlayment systems that are not addressed in FRSA/TRI April 2012 (04-12) and are used in foam -on tile
applications. Maximum Design Pressure is the result of testing for wind load resistance based on
allowable wind loads, and reflects the ultimate passing pressure divided by 2 (the 2 to 1 margin of safety
per FBC 1504.9 has already been applied). Refer to FBC 1609 for determination of design wind pressures.
5.6.4.1 Maximum Design Pressure = -45.0 psf.
Deck: Min. 15/32-inch plywood to meet project requirements to satisfaction of AHJ.
Primer: (Optional) ASTM D41
Underlayment: Tri-Built S/A HT TU Underlayment, self -adhered.
5.7 Exposure Limitations:
5.7.1 Tri-Built Sand-R SA Shingle Underlayment or Tri-Built Smooth HT S/A Underlayment shall not be left
exposed. for longer than 30-days after installation
5.7.2 Tri-Built S/A HT TU Underlayment shall not be left exposed for longer than 180-days after installation.
6. INSTALLATION:
6.1 TRI-BUILT Roof Underlayments shall be installed in accordance with TRI-BUILT published installation
requirements subject to the Limitations set forth in Section 5 herein and the specifics noted below.
6.2 Re -fasten any loose decking panels, and check for protruding nail heads. Sweep the substrate thoroughly
to remove any dust and debris prior to application, and prime the substrate (if applicable).
6.3 Tri-Built Sand-R SA Shingle Underlavment, Tri-Built S/A HT TU Underlayment or Tri-Built Smooth HT S/A
Underlayment:
6.3.1 Shall be installed in compliance with the requirements for ASTM D1970 underlayment in FBC Sections
1507 for the type of prepared roof covering to be installed.
6.3.2 Non -Tile applications:
While priming is optional, TRI-BUILT recommends priming the deck if the final roof cover is not slated for
installation within 24 hours.
Apply sheet parallel to the roof edge. Roll out approximately 10 ft of membrane and peel back the first 3
ft of release film.
Adhere the exposed part to the substrate and unroll the remaining membrane as far as possible.
Once the entire length of membrane is in place, peel -off the release film diagonally while holding the
membrane tight. Firmly roll the membrane into place to achieve a bond.
Horizontal seams should be minimum 3-inches, configured to shed water. Vertical seams should be 6-
inches and staggered not less than 2-ft from vertical seams in the course below. All over -granule end -laps
shall be sealed using either heat -welding or hot air welding techniques.
When installing at slopes above 8:12, Allied Building Products Corp recommends back -nailing in the
overlap area at the top of the sheet at 12-inch o.c.
For Valleys and Ridges: Cut underlayment into 4 to 6 foot lengths. Peel the release paper and center sheet
over valley or ridge. Drape and press sheet into place, working from the center of the valley or ridge in
each direction. For valleys, apply the sheet starting at the lowest point and work upward.
6.3.3 Tile Applications (Tri-Built S/A HTTU Underlayment only):
Reference is made to FRSA/TRI April 2012 .(04-12) Installation Manual and Table 1 herein, using the
instructions noted above as a guideline.
Tile shall be loaded and staged in a manner that prevents tile slippage and/or damage to the
underlayment.
