© 2021 IronRidge, Inc.CA Flush Mount System Certification Letter - 2 <br />Hayward, CA 94545 <br />1-800-227-9523 <br />IronRidge.com <br />The parameters and adjustments allowed in the span tables are defined as the following: <br />1.The Flush Mount System is designed as a Risk Category II structure as defined by ASCE 7-10 Chart 1.5-1. <br />2. The wind speed selection shall conform to ASCE 7-10 Fig. 26.5-1A (Risk Category II wind) and any state & local <br />county/city amendments to the IBC. No special wind topographic features are included in the span tables and the <br />topographic coefficient (Kzt) is taken as 1.0. <br />3.The snow load used in the span tables is the ground snow and shall conform to ASCE 7-10 Fig. 7-1 and <br />applicable state & local county/city amendments to the IBC. If the local jurisdiction specified snow load is in the <br />format of a flat roof snow load, it shall first be converted to a ground snow following the local building <br />code/amendment before the application of the attached span tables. No special snow conditions are considered <br />including unbalanced, drifting, sliding, retention, or ponding snow. The span tables do not include buildings which <br />are intentionally kept below freezing, kept just above freezing, or unheated. <br />4.The span tables reflect the ASCE 7 prescribed earthquake loads with the maximum magnitudes being: <br />1)For ground snow no greater than 42psf: S s ≤ 2.0g for Site Class A, B, C, or D. <br />2)For ground snow greater than 65psf: S s ≤ 1.0g for Site Class A, B, C, or D. <br />3)For ground snow between 42 and 65psf: S s ≤ 1.5g for Site Class A, B, C, or D. <br />5.Roof zone size and definition conforms to ASCE 7-10 Fig. 30.4-2A to 30.4-2C. <br />6.Allowable span length in the charts may be multiplied by a factor of 1.08 if the rails are continuous over a <br />minimum of three spans. <br />7.The maximum rail cantilever length, measured from the rail end to the nearest attachment point, shall be the <br />lesser of the following two conditions: 40% of the allowable span provided for the respective load & configuration <br />condition from the span tables, or 36”. <br />8.An array to roof clearance of 2” minimum must be provided. <br />9.No splices are allowed in the rail cantilever. For each XR splice type install per the following requirements: <br />a)XR Bonded Splice cannot be installed in the center 1/3 of interior spans, or the outer 2/3 of end spans. <br />b)BOSS Splice can be installed at any location within a span. <br />10.Shaded cells of the span tables indicate conditions in which UFO Mid Clamp connection capacity is exceeded. If <br />such conditions are encountered contact support@ironridge.com. <br />11.When a roof attachment listed in IronRidge’s Flush Mount installation manual is considered, the span values <br />provided in this letter can be adjusted using IronRidge’s online Design Assistant by checking the capacity of the <br />selected roof attachment against the reaction forces provided in Design Assistant. <br />2314 W San Lorenzo <br />Ave11/17/2023
