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 FRSA/TRI April 2012 (04-12), Appendix A, Table 1A or
FBC 1609 for determination of design wind pressures.

Having Jurisdiction.
Primer:
(Optional) ASTM D41 or RESISTO EXTERIOR PRIMER
Underlayment:
Tri-Built S/A HT TU Underlayment, self -adhered.
#2 Maximum Design Pressure = -67.5 psf:
Deck:

Jurisdiction.
Primer:
Soprema Elastocol 600c
Underlayment:
Tri-Built S/A HT TU Underlayment, self -adhered.
#3 Maximum Design Pressure = -150.0 psf:
Deck:
Min. 15/32-inch APA-rated BCX plywood (may be installed C-side up) to meet project
requirements to satisfaction of Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Deck Preparation: Plywood shall be thoroughly cleaned to remove dust and debris that may inhibit
adhesion. All sheathing fasteners shall be driven flush with the surface. All sharp
splinters and wood projections shall be removed/sanded.
Primer:
(Optional) RESISTO EXTERIOR PRIMER
Underlayment:
Tri-Built S/A HT TU Underlayment, self -adhered, shall be thoroughly roll using hand
roller and/or weighted roller to ensure there are no voids, and ensure there are no
voids/bridging at side and end -laps.
#4 Maximum Design Pressure = -60.0 psf:
Deck:
Min. 19/32-inch plywood to meet project requirements to satisfaction of Authority
Having Jurisdiction.
Base Sheet:
Soprema Sopra-G or Modified Sopra-G mechanically attached with nails (FBC 1517.5.1)
and tin caps (FBC 1517.5.2) spaced 6-inch o.c. at the 4-inch laps and 6-inch o.c. in three,
equally spaced rows in the center of the sheet.
Underlayment:
Tri-Built S/A HT TU Underlayment, self -adhered.

5.6.4.1 For mechanically attached Base Sheet, the maximum design pressure for the selected assembly shall meet
or exceed that required under FRSA/TRI April 2012 (04-12), Appendix A, Table 1A.
Alternatively, the maximum design pressure for the selected assembly shall meet or exceed the Zone 1
design pressure determined in accordance with FBC 1609. In this case, Zones 2 and 3 shall employ an
attachment density designed by a qualified design professional to resist the elevated pressure criteria.
Commonly used methods are ANSI/SPRI WD1, FM Loss Prevention Data Sheet 1-29 and Roofing
Application Standard RAS 117. Assemblies marked with an asterisk* carry the limitations set forth in
Section 2.2.10.1 of FM Loss Prevention Data Sheet 1-29 (January 2016) for Zone 2/3 enhancements.
5.7 Exposure Limitations:
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
Tri-Built S/A HT TU Underlayment shall not be left exposed for longer than 180-days after installation.
5.8 Tile Slibpage Limitations (TAS 103 per FRSA/TRI April 2012 (04-12)):
When loading roof tiles on the underlayment in direct -deck tile assemblies, the maximum roof slope shall
be as follows. These slope limitations can only be exceeded by using battens during loading of the roof
tiles.

INSTALLATION:
6.1 TRI-BUILT Roof Underlayments shall be installed in accordance with TRI-BUILT Materials Group, LLC
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 Underlayment 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 Table
1507.1.1 for the type of prepared roof covering to be installed.
6.3.2 Non -Tile applications:
While priming is optional, TRI-BUILT Materials Group, LLC 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, broom or hand -press 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, sealed in accordance with
TRI-BUILT Materials Group, LLC requirements.
When installing at slopes above 8:12, TRI-BUILT Materials Group, LLC 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 HT TU 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.
For foam -on tile applications, reference is made to Section 5.6.4 herein for wind resistance limitations that
fall outside the scope of FRSA/TRI April 2012 (04-12).
Tile shall be loaded and staged in a manner that prevents tile slippage and/or damage to the
underlayment. See Table 2 herein, and TRI-BUILT Materials Group, LLC published requirements for tile
staging.
BUILDING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS:
