© 2022 IronR idge, Inc. CA Flush Mount System Certification Letter - 2 <br />28357 Industrial Blvd. <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 7-16 Table 1.5-1. <br />2. Wind speed shall conform to ASCE 7-16 Fig. 26.5-1B (for Risk Category II) and applicable state & local <br />county/city amendments to the IBC. No special wind topographic features are included and both topographic <br />coefficient (Kzt) and wind ground elevation factor (Ke) are taken as 1.0. <br />3. Snow load used in the span tables is the ground snow and shall conform to ASCE 7-16 Fig. 7.2-1 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, it shall first be converted to a ground snow following the local building code/ <br />amendments before the application of the attached span tables. No special snow conditions are considered <br />including unbalanced, drifting, sliding, retention, or ponding snow. No rain-on-snow surcharge load is <br />considered. The span tables do not apply to buildings which are intentionally kept below freezing, kept just <br />above freezing, or unheated. <br />4. The span tables reflect the ASCE 7 prescribed earthquake loads with the maximum magnitudes being: <br />(a)For ground snow no greater than 42psf: S s ≤ 2.0g for Site Class A, B, C, & D. <br />(b)For ground snow greater than 65psf: S s ≤ 1.0g for Site Class A, B, C, & D. <br />(c)For ground snow between 42 and 65psf: S s ≤ 1.5g for Site Class A, B, C, & D. <br />5. Roof zones are defined by ASCE 7-16 Figure 30.3-2A to Figure 30.3-2I and are organized into three groups in <br />which the zones share the same External Pressure Coefficients (GCp). Roof zones comprising each group along <br />with each roof zone’s size and location are depicted in Figures 2 and 3 below each span table. <br />6. The maximum rail cantilever length, measured from the rail end to the nearest attachment point, shall <br />be the lesser of the following two conditions: 40% of the allowable span provided for the respective load <br />& configuration condition from the span tables, or 36”. <br />7. Allowable span length in the charts may be multiplied by a factor of 1.08 if the rails are continuous over <br />a minimum of three spans. <br />8. 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 />9. Shaded cells of the span tables indicate conditions in which UFO Mid Clamp connection capacity is exceeded. If <br />such conditions are encountered contact techsupport@ironridge.com. <br />417 S Clara St #2 <br />04/17/23
