MR-24® STANDING SEAM ROOF SYSTEM BY BUTLER®
MR-24® Roof System
GENERAL INFORMATION
The MR-24® roof system has demonstrated its outstanding performance since 1969 with over 2,000,000,000 (two
billion) square feet in use on buildings subject to nearly every possible weather condition worldwide. Every part
of the exclusive MR-24 roof system uses quality materials to insure a weathertight standing seam roof that
performs like a monolithic steel membrane to protect the building. Every product feature, coupled with the use of
acrylic coated Galvalume® for unpainted roofing, plus exclusive use of Butler-Cote® 500 FP finish system on
galvanized steel, provides the durability and long life that owners and specifiers demand.
THE MR-24® ROOF SYSTEM

Roof panels are factory roll-formed 24” wide. The installed panels have two major corrugations, 2-3/4” inches
tall with cross flutes 6” on center (o.c.) along the entire length of the panel. This reduces wind noise and
improves walkability.
Roof clips with stainless steel tabs (50%

stronger than galvanized roof clip
connectors) are secured to the prepunched
supporting structural members. This
insures proper alignment, maintains
modularity and allows movement of roof
panels without causing damage to the roof
system.
Detail Y001. MR-24® Panel Cross Section
MR-24® ROOF SYSTEM GENERAL
Panels are fastened directly to the eave structural members through
factory prepunched holes in both panels and structural members. This
transfers all roof movement to the ridge or high side expansion joint.
Every connection is precisely prepunched at the factory, purlins, eaves,

end splice, ridges and flashings to ensure proper alignment when the
roof is installed. Proper alignment is critical to allow the completed,
seamed together roof, to expand and contract with temperature change.
MR-24® Roof Clip
The MR-24 prepunched panel endlap utilizes a two

piece clamped connection.
A structurally supported bottom reinforcing plate with

four stainless steel studs are placed into the prepunched
panels. Then a corrosion resistant aluminum top panel
strap clamps the panel endlaps together eliminating
any attachment to supporting structural members. This
allows the entire roof to move as a single unit. The
endlaps are also staggered to permit the full 360°
“Pittsburgh” Double-lock seam through this critical
joint.
Detail Y002. Mr-24 Clip and Tab Assembly
The MR-24 roof system includes a complete line of

accessories (IFCurbs, stainless steel gutter, etc.) designed to fit
perfectly with the MR-24 system.
ROOF MOVEMENT
The MR-24 roof system is designed to provide thermal movement at all intermediate roof structural members,
panel transitions and at the ridge. The roof panel
clip is fastened directly to the intermediate roof
secondary structural members. The tab in the roof
clip is rolled into the roof panel seam. The clip
allows thermal movement. A +/-100° F
temperature differential, after roof installation, will
allow total movement of 2-1/2”. Factory-installed,
breakaway spacers insure that the tab is centered
prior to panel seaming. These plastic spacers
break away as the panel thermal movement occurs,
allowing the roof panel clip to more freely.
MR-24 Roof Clip as Seamed to Roof Panels
WEATHERTIGHTNESS
Factory-applied sealant in the field rolled Pittsburgh Double-Lock seam joint eliminates capillary leaks. The roof
panels are continuously and permanently field seamed with a four-stand, portable electric roll-forming machine
called the Roof Runner.
Roof panels are permanently seamed together with a 360°

Pittsburgh Double-Lock Seam creating a single steel
membrane, floating, monolithic roof. This seam is similar to
seams on beverage cans and auto gasoline tanks. Roof panel
runs that exceed panel shipping length are spliced together
over roof secondary structural members to provide support.
The panel endlap splice joins the panels together, but not to the
secondary structural members. This allows the panels to move
with thermal expansion and contraction.
Roof Runner Seamer
Detail Y003, MR-24® Pittsburgh Double-Lock Seam

MR-24 ROOF CLIP SYSTEM
The MR-24 roof clip securely holds the panels to the supporting structural member system while allowing the
entire roof to move from expansion and contraction caused by thermal forces.
A. Made of high strength 304 stainless steel, the tab is wrapped around the bar to eliminate separation from the
clip. The stainless steel material folds tightly into the Pittsburgh Double-Lock seam for weathertightness.
The MR-24 roof clip tab is more than 50% stronger than most other standing seam tabs made from carbon
steel.
B. The yoke design includes heavy 16-gauge galvanized steel with stiffening ribs and flanges for added strength.
The roof panels rest securely on the broad top of the yoke. The support flanges are turned down and every
edge is smooth to allow roof movement.
C. A special triangular-shaped steel bar lets the tab slide easily. A cadmium coating provides a smooth
lubricated surface for tab movement. The bar is positioned high in the clip (only 1/8” below the panel) to
eliminate binding as the roof moves.
D. The self-centering sleeve keeps the tab perfectly positioned in the center of the clip. As the entire roof begins
to move, the sleeves snap away to allow the tab and roof to move a full 2-1/2 inches. This permits buildings
up to 500 feet wide without the need for special expansion joints. The self-centering sleeve breaks away at
less than eight pounds of force but can easily withstand the jostling associated with shipping and installation.
MR-24 Roof Clip

PANEL ENDLAP SPLICES
Panel endlap splices are made with stainless steel studs factory-welded to a back-up plate and then inserted
through factory, prepunched panel holes. A butyl rubber tape sealant (with nylon spacers to assure sealant is
retained within the splice and not over-compressed) is applied on the bottom panel before the top panel and
aluminum panel strap is installed. Stainless steel flange nuts secure the panel strap to assure a weathertight
connection. Panel splices are staggered between adjacent panel runs to allow for the full 360° Pittsburgh Double-
Lock Seam through the splice joint.
WIND UPLIFT
The MR-24 roof system carries the highest ratings awarded for wind uplift. They are listed below.
- Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-Class 90 Rating (UL Test 580).
- ASTM E-1592 Wind Uplift Test Standard
- Factory Mutual (FM 4471) FM I-60, FM I-75, FM I-90, FM I-120 and higher
For many owners, a wind rating will result in lower insurance premiums for a building. Specific areas of roofs in
high wind applications (over 100 mph) may require panel reinforcement and / or require use of 22-gauge in lieu of
24-gauge panels.
ROOF MAINTENANCE
Conventional roofs average $0.08 to $0.15 per square foot per
year for maintenance (based on NRCA* data). The MR-24 roof
averages $0.0075 to $0.015 per square foot per year for
maintenance.
ENERGY SAVINGS
While most roof systems are designed to save energy, few
actually do so without causing problems. For example, when
thicker insulation is used with many types of roofs, fuel bills
may be reduced, but the additional insulation may also speed up
the inevitable deterioration of the roof membrane. The MR-24
roof system moves freely with the forces of expansion and
contraction without causing any roof deterioration. The MR-24
roof is designed to incorporate blanket insulation (three to nine
inches thick).
*NRCA – National Roofing Contractors Association
When most metal roofs are installed, the
insulation is often compressed at points
where the roof is fastened to the structural
member. Where insulation is compressed,
a thermal short circuit is created, reducing
energy efficiency. Optional 3/4” thermal
blocks and taller roof clips can be used
with this application at all roof secondary
structural members to further increase
energy efficiency. A roof requiring more
than six inches of blanket insulation to
meet energy requirements, may have the
insulation applied between the roof
secondary structural members (running
perpendicular to the panel runs).

Without Thermal Spacer Block
MOISTURE/VAPOR CONTROL
The standard application of the MR-24 roof
system using faced blanket insulation meets most
building end use requirements where the interior
relative humidity (RH) is 30% or less*. Building
interiors requiring 30% to 50% RH, require
blanket insulation with a quality, low-perm facing
for specific vapor control, special attention to
insulation application at joints and roof to wall
transitions, and provisions for adequate air
movement. Building interiors with RH
requirements of 50% or greater, require a
mechanical engineer’s approval of the insulation
system planned in conjunction with adequate
vapor control and air movement.

CMR-24® STANDING SEAM ROOF SYSTEM BY BUTLER®
CMR-24® Roof Panel System
GENERAL INFORMATION
The CMR-24 roof system uses the same panel, seaming process and clip as the MR-24 roof system with the
addition of a metal liner panel, vapor retarder and a rigid insulation board. CMR-24 panel seams are permanently
rolled formed for weathertightness. A clip holds the panels securely to the structural system while allowing for
roof movement. This roof system has demonstrated outstanding performance for over three decades.
The CMR-24 roof system has been used on buildings subject to nearly every possible weather condition
worldwide. CMR-24 has an added feature (a metal liner panel on the interior) that delivers a uniform, attractive
interior appearance, diaphragm action-to-transfer wind loads, and added protection to the roof insulation from any
interior abuse.
ROOF MOVEMENT
The roof system is designed to allow thermal expansion and contraction movement at all intermediate roof
structural members, panel transitions, gable trim and at the roof ridge. The base of the panel clip rests on a
bearing plate to prevent damage to the insulation board during installation of the roof panel clip. The clip is
fastened through the insulation board and liner panel directly to the intermediate roof secondary structural
members. The tab in the roof clip is secured into the roof panel seam. The clip allows 2-1/2” thermal expansion
and contraction movement. A +/-100° F temperature differential, after roof installation, may produce a 1-1/4”
movement. Factory-installed, breakaway tab spacers insure that the tab is centered prior to panel seaming. These
tab spacers break away as panel thermal movement occurs.

CMR-24 Roof System Typical Seam
WEATHERTIGHTNESS
Refer to the MR-24 Roof System section for complete description of the weathertightness features of the CMR-24
roof system. Refer to the 1.05 Warranties specification for available weathertightness and material warranty
requirements for the CMR-24 roof system.
DESIGN VERSATILITY
Maximum spacing between intermediate secondary roof structural members is 5’-0 13/16” on the roof slope. The
steel liner panel is 28-gauge, either
Galvalume or galvanized (G-60) painted
white on the exposed side and is secured to
secondary structural members with self-
drilling screws. The liner also acts to
provide limited diaphragm bracing
capability to transfer loads through the roof
system (contact a Butler representative to
obtain tested diaphragm capability). The
CMR-24 roof system is designed to meet
most live load and wind load codes for any
roof configuration.
The structural engineer may elect to use a structural steel deck in lieu of the steel liner panel to provide for total
designed roof diaphragm bracing capability. Refer to the New Construction Application section for application
details.
The minimum roof slope for the CMR-24 roof is 1/4:12 inches for warranty consideration. Refer to the 1.05
Warranties specification for available material and weathertightness warranties requirements. Adequate roof
slope allows for proper roof drainage. Panel runs greater than 250’ with building widths of 500’ (from the low
eave attachment to the end of the panel run) require a stepped roof transition expansion joint and structural joint
transition. This requires an elevation change of 8” minimum for the roof step transition.
WIND UPLIFT
The CMR-24 roof system carries the highest ratings awarded for wind uplift. They are listed below.
- UL-Class 90 Rating (UL Test 580)
- ASTM E-1592
- FM (FMG test 4471) 1-60, FM 1-90, FM 1-120 and higher.
For many owners, a wind uplift rating will result in lower insurance premiums for a building. Specific areas of
roofs in high wind applications (over 100 mph) may require panel reinforcement and / or require use of 22-gauge
in lieu of 24-gauge panels.
ENERGY SAVINGS
While most roof systems are designed to save energy, few actually do so without causing problems. For example,
when thicker insulation is used with many types of conventional roofs, fuel bills may be reduced, but the
additional insulation may speed up deterioration of the roof membrane. The CMR-24 roof is metal system and
moves freely with the forces of expansion and contraction without causing any roof deterioration. The CMR-24
roof is designed to incorporate a minimum of 3/4” through 4-1/4” rigid insulation board over the top of the liner
panels. The tested “U” value through the composite section with 3/4” Thermax® insulation board is 0.10 BTU
hr./sq.ft./deg.F and is 0.054 BTU/hr./sq.ft./deg.F with 1-3/4” Thermax insulation board.
The standard application of the CMR-24 roof system uses a 0.0032” minimum thickness vinyl vapor retarder with
a minimum perm rating of 1.0 meeting most building end uses where the interior RH is 30% or less.* Optional
vapor retarders with higher perm ratings are available for building requirements with interior RH higher than
30%. These high humidity applications require special attention to vapor retarder joints along with provisions for
adequate air movement. Building interiors with RH requirements of 50% or greater require a mechanical
engineer’s approval of the insulation system designed in conjunction with adequate vapor control and air
movement.
*Consideration must be given to potential condensation areas such as interior gutters, skylight and roof to wall
junctures.

VSR™ ARCHITECTURAL STANDING SEAM ROOF SYSTEM BY BUTLER®
VSR™ Roof System
GENERAL INFORMATION
The VSR™ roof system is a versatile, structural standing seam roof designed primarily for architectural
applications. The VSR roof system’s aesthetically pleasing appearance of clean, bold lines allow the freedom of
design expression. The VSR roof can be utilized for almost any roof configuration, and easily accommodates
complex roof geometries and simplifies flashing designs.
Every product feature, coupled with the use of Galvalume for unpainted roofing, plus exclusive use of Butler-
Cote 500 FP finish system (a full strength, low gloss 70% Kynar 500/Hylar 5000 painted finish) provides the
durability and long life that owners and architects demand.
VSR™ ROOF SYSTEM GENERAL
Detail Y200. VSR™ Panel Cross Section
VSR™ ROOF SYSTEM

The VSR roof panels are factory roll-formed 16” wide with two major corrugations 2” high on each edge. The
flat of the panel is standard with longitudinal flutes 4” on center or optional without flutes. Seam sealant is
installed in the female corrugation. Panels are standard 24-gauge in either acrylic coated Galvalume or
galvanized (G-90 coating) with Butler-Cote 500 FP painted 70% Kynar 500/Hylar 5000 finish. The roof system
is secured to the roof structural members by roof panel clips and self-drilling screws. The minimum slope for the
VSR Roof System is 1/2:12.
ROOF MOVEMENT
Moveable two-piece clips at the
intermediate roof structural members,
roof ridge and panel transitions allow
thermal movement for all panel runs
over 40’. Panel runs less that 40’ may
use the fixed clip. The moveable roof
clip tab is factory-centered and secured
into the roof panel seam. The clip
allows for 2-1/2” total movement of
thermal expansion and contraction
movement. A +/-100° F
Detail Y201. VSR™ Moveable Panel Clip
Temperature differential, after roof
installation, will produce 2-1/2” of total
movement.
WEATHERTIGHTNESS
Factory-applied sealant is field-seamed
into the panel seam to eliminate leaks
through the vertical ribs. The panels are
continuously and permanently field-
seamed to provide a single membrane,
floating monolithic roof.
Detail Y202. VSR™ Fixed Panel Clip
VSR roof panel runs that exceed the maximum panel length are spliced over, but not attached to the roof
structural members. This design allows the panel to move with the thermal expansion and contraction forces.
Panel splices include a splice plate and four flange nuts to provide a clamped joint with a watertight seal.
Refer to the Warranties Section for available weathertightness

and material warranties and their requirements.
WIND UPLIFT
The VSR roof system carries the highest ratings awarded for
wind uplift. They are listed below.

- Factory Mutual (FM4471) Approved 1-105, 1-60 and
higher Windstorm Classifications VSR™ Panel Seam
In many locales, a wind rating can result in lower insurance premiums for a building. Specific areas of roofs in
high wind applications may require additional roof structural members to create less than a 5’-0” spacing.

The VSR roof system is designed for installation on either a new roof construction or a retrofit roof construction
when attaching to:
- metal roof decks – per AISI specification

- wood roof decks – per APA specification
- bar joist secondary roof structural members p per SJI specification
- wood joist secondary roof structural members – per TPI specification
- metal building secondary roof structural members
- slope build-up roof structural members
Maximum spacing between
supporting secondary roof
structural members is 5’-0-13/16”
on the roof slope. The VSR roof
system is designed to meet most
live load and wind load
requirements within the
continental (48) United States and
Alaska for eave heights of 30’ or
less. Roofs on buildings with
eaves greater than 30’ and high
wind load conditions are reviewed
per project for application of the
VSR roof.
Detail Y205. VSR™ Fascia

Note: Not recommended in snow areas
The VSR roof system can easily accommodate the roof eave panel extending from the roof to the wall downward.
This can be done at the low or high eave to provide an attractive integral fascia. (This treatment is not
recommended in any areas where snow may accumulate on the roof.)
VSR panels may show slight waviness, known as “oil canning”. This is a natural condition for panels of this type.
Longitudinal flutes and low gloss Butler-Cote 500FP finish system in lighter colors will reduce these visible
effects.
Structural members may be required to provide an adequate roof slope for an existing roof. Refer to the
Miscellaneous Retrofit Construction section for the installation of required Retrofit Roof Structurals.
The maximum panel run is 250’ from the low eave structural member attachment to the end of the panel run. The
recommended shippable panel length is up to 45’-0” by truck.
ENERGY SAVINGS
While most roof systems are designed to save energy, few actually do so without causing problems. For example,
when thicker insulation is used with conventional roofs, fuel bills may be reduced, but the additional insulation
may also speed up the inevitable deterioration of the roof surface.
The VSR roof is designed for use with or without roof insulation (fixed roof clip). It can accommodate blanket
insulation (three to six inches thick fiberglass blanket) over the top of the roof structural members with a
moveable clip.
The VSR roof system moves freely with the forces of expansion and contraction without causing any roof
deterioration. When most metal roofs are installed, the insulation is often compressed at points where the roof is
fastened to the structural member. Where insulation is compressed, a thermal short circuit is created, reducing
energy efficiency. Thermal spacer blocks (1/2” thick extruded polystyrene) used with tall moveable roof clips at
all roof structural member, (except the eave) further increase efficiency.
A roof requiring high density or more

than six inches of blanket (a two layer
system with insulation running over
the purlins and the remainder between
the purlins) insulation to meet energy
requirements, may have insulation
applied between the roof structural
members (running perpendicular to
the panel runs).
Roof design requirements for a rigid

insulation board of 1/2” through 4-
1/4” thickness may be incorporated
over a vapor retarder on top of the
Detail Y206. VSR™ Tall Moveable Panel Clip
building roof deck or liner panel. Use of a rigid insulation board requires the use of a bearing plate with the roof
clip and longer fasteners.
The VSR roof system is also designed to be applied directly over a plywood roof deck without insulation. 30-
pound roof felt, other vapor retarder or thermal break material between the panel and the wood deck is
recommended.
The standard application of the VSR roof system, using faced blanket insulation, meets most building end use
requirements where the interior RH is30% or less*. Building interiors requiring 30% to 50% RH, require blanket
insulation with a low perm rated facing for specific vapor control, special attention to insulation application at
joints and roof to wall transitions, and provisions for adequate air movement. Building interiors with RH
requirements of 50% or greater, require a mechanical engineer’s approval of the insulation system planned in
conjunction with adequate vapor control and air movement.
*Special consideration must be given to potential condensation areas such as interior gutter, skylights and roof to
wall junctures.

Butlerib® II Roof System
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Butlerib II roof system has demonstrated its outstanding performance worldwide since 1969 on buildings
subject to nearly every weather condition. Thermal forces allow roof movement without tearing or slotting of the
panel. This ensures many years of weathertight roof service. Every product feature, coupled with the use of
acrylic coated Galvalume for unpainted roofing, plus exclusive use of Butler-Cote 500 FP, low gloss 70% Kynar
500/Hylar 5000 painted finish, provides the durability and long life that owners and architects demand. The
exclusive heavy duty fasteners, used in conjunction with prepunched panels, allow Butler to provide the only 10-
year weathertightness warranty for a non-seamed roof system.
Detail Y300. Butlerib® II Panel Cross Section
BUTLERIB® II ROOF SYSTEM GENERAL
Butlerib® II Panel Sealant Location
Predesigned and factory-fabricated accessories (curbs, gutter, etc.) are available to minimize field modification
and help maintain a weathertight fit.

The roof panels are factory, roll-formed 36” wide with three major corrugation 1-1/2” high. The underside panel
lap corrugation is roll-formed with a sealant groove to retain the sealant and a downturned return leg to provide
support for roof traffic. This provides an improved weather sealing at the lapped corrugation.
Prepunching at the factory helps assure proper fit and alignment of each panel joint to help keep the Butlerib II
roof system weathertight.
The slotted holes at the upslope end of the punched panels allows thermal movement of the panel without tearing
the metal or loosening the fasteners. The exclusive Lockrivet fastener provides constant gripping strength and
will not loosen with the thermal movement of the roof. An E.P.D.M. gasketed washer fits between the fastener
head and the roof panel to insure weathertightness.

SLOPE BUILD-UP STRUCTURAL SYSTEM BY BUTLER®
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Slope Build-Up Structural System is a versatile
retrofit system that creates a new roof slope.
The Slope Build-Up System is installed with Butler’s

exclusive VSR and MR-24 standing seam roof systems.
The system may be used over a flat, low-sloped or steep
sloped roof supported by a metal, wood substrate or
concrete deck.
Before
The Slope Build-Up System with MR-24 is used to create slopes starting at 1/4:12 inches. VSR minimum slope
is 1/2:12.
MR-24 is installed on prepunched structural members to

maintain proper panel alignment and insure
weathertightness. Slope Build-Up also accommodates the
versatile VSR architectural roof system designed for
higher slope applications where the roof plays a
predominant role in the building’s appearance.
The recommended slope range of a roof system is 1/4:12

through 6-1/2:12 inches with a maximum height of the
system above the existing roof plane of 15’-0”. During
The Slope Build-Up system requires that a 3” minimum

layer of vinyl faced blanket insulation be installed between
the roof panels and the retrofit purlin to control
condensation and dampen vibration and noise.
If moisture can enter the attic space, then it is

recommended that the newly created attic space be
properly vented to allow any entrapped moisture to escape.

Slope Build-up System for Reroof
SLOPE BUILD-UP SYSTEM GENERAL
LAYOUT OF SLOPE BUILD-UP REROOF
The layout of the Slope Build-Up Reroof System to the existing structure can be achieved in one of three ways.
A. Base clips can be used if existing roof is not compressable. The base clip can be used on other applications
such as beams or joists if the existing structure has an engineering review and can support the concentrated
loads.
Slope Build-Up System With Perpendicular Base Z-Purlin Detail
Design Specifiers Manual is subject to change without notice. Before finalizing project details, contact your local Butler 2/5/08 70-11.
B. Base Z-purlins parallel to top Z-purlins are used when existing secondary structural members run
perpendicular to the NEW eave. (Parallel installation.)
C. Base Z-purlins perpendicular to the top Z-purlins are used when existing secondary structural members run
parallel to the NEW eave. (Perpendicular installation.)
Slope Build-Up System With Parallel Base Z-Purlin Detail
BASE SPANNING Z-PURLINS

Base spanning Z-purlins are available in two standard web depths 3” and 5-1/2” and are supplied 15’-0” long.
The purlins are typically installed perpendicular to the existing roof structural members. The design of the
attachment of the new purlins to the existing structural members is the responsibility of the installation contractor.
The purlin-to-purlin connections are made with a mechanically fastened lap splice creating a continuous purlin
design.
Base purlins can often be installed directly over an existing roof system with little preparatory work. This works
well with aging single-ply membrane roof systems. However, the aggregate on asphalt or coaltar pitch built-up
roofs is generally removed with a power broom before installing the new structural system. The ballast on single
ply systems must always be removed.
Design Specifiers Manual is subject to change without notice. Before finalizing project details, contact your local Butler 2/5/08 70-00.

LOW PROFILE METAL OVER METAL™
RETROFIT APPLICATION BY BUTLER®
Low Profile Metal Over Metal™ System
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Low Profile Metal Over Metal™ (MOM) System allows for the efficient installation of the MR-24 standing
seam roof system over an existing through-fastened rib type roof with a minimum roof slope a1/4:12 inches and
major corrugation height of 1-1/2” or less, spaced at 1”-0” on center.
The MR-24 roof panels used on this system are permanently seamed together with a full 360˚ Pittsburgh Double
Lock seam to assure weathertightness and long-term performance with minimal maintenance expense.
The MR-24 roof clips, installed in predrilled holes, securely attach the roof panels to the existing supporting
structural members with stainless steel tabs roll-formed into the panel seam. Stainless steel tabs are more than
50% stronger than coated carbon steel standing seam tabs. The clip design will accommodate expansion and
contraction forces in roofs up to 500 feet wide.
Panel support blocks rest on the flat of the existing panel and provide a bearing surface to transfer loads through
the flat of the MR-24 roof panel to the existing structural members.

RETROFIT APPLICATION BY BUTLER®
High Profile Metal Over Metal™ System With a MR-24 Roof System
GENERAL INFORMATION
The High Profile Metal Over Metal™ (MOM) System allows for the efficient installation of the MR-24 or VSR
standing seam roof system over an existing standing seam type roof with a minimum roof slope of a1/4:12 inches
(1/2:12 inches for VSR).
The MR-24 roof panels used on this system are permanently seamed together with a full 360° Pittsburgh Double
Lock seam to assure weathertightness and long-term performance with minimal maintenance expense.
The MR-24 roof clips, installed in factory punched holes, securely attach the roof panels to the new supporting
structural members with stainless steel tabs roll-formed into the panel seam. Stainless steel tabs are more than
50% stronger than coated carbon steel standing seam tabs. The clip design will accommodate expansion and
contraction forces in roofs up to 500 feet wide.
The High Profile MOM System includes a complete line of accessories designed specifically to perform in
conjunction with the roof system.
The MR-24 and VSR roof systems have a UL-Class 90 wind uplift rating and have been tested in accordance with
ASTM E 1592. They also have been tested and rated by Factory Mutual Global.

INTRODUCTION TO RETROFIT CONSTRUCTION BY BUTLER®
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section provides product specifications and application details for the various retrofit Butler roof systems.
Many retrofit options are available for roof repair or replacement. They are discussed below.
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF EXISTING BUILDING

Structural analysis of the existing roof deck and structural members must be performed to determine if any
reinforcement of the existing building’s framing is required. Analysis should be done by the building owner’s
engineer to assure the application of the Retrofit system continues to meet current local building code
requirements.
SLOPE BUILD-UP STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS

Butler provides specific design assistance and application detailing to produce any desired Slope Build-Up
System and roof system. All roof applications can be applied to Slope Build-Up. Retrofit structural height
change maximum is 15’, and must be designed to meet local building code requirements.
LOW PROFILE METAL OVER METAL™ ROOF SYSTEMS

The Low Profile MOM minimum application for roof slopes is 1/4:12 inches or greater. This system is designed
to allow for the installation of the MR-24 roof system over an existing ribbed roof without the use of additional
roof structural members in the roof field. The Retrofit Roof Panel Clip is installed through the existing roof panel
into the existing building purlin on 2’-0” spacing. The MR-24 roof panel is then installed and seamed into place.
The existing roof major corrugations must be 1’-0” on center and not be greater than 1-1/2” in height.
HIGH PROFILE METAL OVER METAL™ ROOF SYSTEMS

The High Profile MOM minimum application is to roof slopes of a1/4:12 inches or greater. This system is
designed to allow for the installation of the MR-24 and VSR roof system (minimum 1/2:12) over an existing
metal roof with major corrugations higher that 1-1/2” but less than 3” in depth. High Profile MOM uses spacer
clips and 1-1/4” spanning members (Hat Sections) in the existing roof field to raise the new roof line above the
existing roof panel corrugation.
LIGHT GAGE STEEL TRUSSES

Factory made light gage steel trusses can provide slope and simplify the installation of hip and valley framing.
Light gage steel trusses can span up to 80 ft. and must have at least a 2:12 slope if the “heal height” is 0 inches.
RETROFIT CONSTRUCTION GENERAL
FASTENING A RETROFIT ROOF TO AN EXISTING ROOF
The installation of a standing seam roof in a reroof application may involve any number of existing conditions to
which the new components must attach. In job planning and estimating, a considerable amount of effort must be
put into the design of the installation. Some examples of existing conditions or components that can affect the
type and size of fasteners are as follows:
1. Material to which the new roof components are to be fastened.

2. The thickness of roofing or existing insulation to remain above the existing structural components.
3. The condition of existing roofing, roof deck or structural component. Don’t forget that a leaky roof has
allowed water to stand on or adjacent to structural materials that could have deteriorated under these
conditions.
4. Uplift requirements of the building code.
5. Preference of the installer of the new roof system.
It is critical that an on-site inspection of the roof be made. To determine the correct fastener to use in attaching
the new roof structural to the old roof structural system, know the thickness of materials penetrated, types of
materials, the condition of the old roof and the installation preference. The information gathered from the on-site
inspection helps determine the specific fastener or series of fasteners for the specific application. Using
information from a fastener supplier, determine the best fastener type and size for the project.
The fastener or fasteners must be tested on each specific building to be reroofed. The pullout values must be
determined during the on-site testing to determine the actual Fastener Holding Capacity versus the Published
Theoretical Values.
Actual fastener pullout values can be determined with the use of suitable Fastener Pullout Tool that shows the
pounds force required. The method of obtaining test results is very simple and is as follows:
1. Determine the areas of the roof to be tested. The areas to be under the new roof structurals should be
tested. A good rule of thumb is to run at least one pullout test for every 2,000 square feet on roofs up to
20,000 square feet and one pullout test for every 4,000 square feet on roofs 20,000 square feet and over.
Large roofs have the possibility of having a wide range of conditions on the same roof, giving very
different tested pullout values.
2. Drive the screw into the existing roof deck or structural member in an approved manner.
3. Attach the Fastener Pullout Tool to the fastener head.
4. Use the Fastener Pullout Tool and read the pullout force value (in pounds) required to pullout the fastener.
5. Repeat the test in all the other areas identified to be tested. (See step 1.)
Note: Remember to take along some mastic, caulking, roof cement, felts, rubber and etc. to fill the holes made in
the roof when fasteners were pulled out.
RETROFIT CONSTRUCTION FASTENER

CALCULATIONS
The “Fastener Pullout Tool” is available through Dynamic Fasteners of Kansas City, Missouri or other fastener
suppliers.
Determine the actual tested pullout value to use to select the quality of fasteners per roof attachment connection in
the following manner:
1. Take all the values for the roof or roof area (for a large roof) tested and discard the highest and lowest
values (these are typically out of line with average values).
2. Take the average of the remaining values.
3. Repeat, if necessary, for values from other roof areas.
Example Test Pullout Values= 200 pounds

350 pounds
455 pounds (DISCARD)
225 pounds
300 pounds
405 pounds
305 pounds
180 pounds (DISCARD)
Add together the remaining pullout values and divide by the number of pullout values added.
Add: 200 pounds

350 pounds
225 pounds
300 pounds
405 pounds
305 pounds
1785 divided by 6 = 297.5 pounds
The test pullout value is 297.5 pounds.
The pullout value is the force, in pounds, a fastener will resist if a pulling force (wind uplift) is exerted on it. The
pulling force is generated by wind uplift forces, acting on the roof, and is transmitted through the roof to the
structural member attachments. The wind uplift forces are determined by he local building code wind load
requirements and applied per the building code. If UL-Class 90 Wind Uplift rating is required, it is recommended
that a 120 psf uplift value be compared to the building code uplift for a fastening system which equals or exceeds,
the UL-Class 90 Wind Uplift test on the roof panel. The higher of the uplift values should be used in determining
the minimum required uplift resistance.
The minimum required wind uplift resistance is a calculated value. It can be determined by multiplying together
the wind load required by code, the spacing of the structurals and a factor of safety. Butler Manufacturing
Company recommends a factor of safety of at least three, be applied to the required uplift resistance. This factor
of safety takes into account the wide variability in holding strength of the old roof, because the tested pullout
values might not represent all the minimum values.

CALCULATIONS
In general, a minimum required uplift resistance value of 120 psf should meet, or exceed, most building code
design uplift requirements when the wind speed in 90 miles per hour or less. However, the design wind uplift is a
function of several variables (i.e. wind speed, exposure, type of occupancy, mean roof height, slope, etc.) and it
varies throughout the roof depending on location (i.e. roof zone) as determined by the specific building code.
Therefore, it is always Butler’s recommendation, that the building code design wind uplift be calculated and
increased by a minimum safety factor of 3.0 before arbitrarily using the 120 psf minimum required uplift
resistance value.
An example of the required wind uplift resistance (wind load 80 mph or less) of a typical roof attachment fastener
is as follows:
Local Building Code Wind Load:

Required wind uplift load = 20 psf (determined by the Building Code for a specific roof zone)
Factor of Safety = 3.0
Secondary structural spacing = 5.0 feet
Required uplift resistance = 20 psf x 3.0 x 5.0 feet = 300 lbs. per foot of secondary roof structural member
UL-Class 90 Wind Uplift Load:

Wind uplift test load = 120 psf (No factor of safety used)
Secondary structural spacing = 5.0 feet
Required uplift resistance = 120 psf x 5.0 = 600 lbs per foot of secondary roof structural member
The quantity of fasteners required for secondary structural attachment would be the required uplift resistance
divided by the actual tested pullout value of one fastener. The tested fastener pullout value must always be
greater than the required uplift resistance in order to provide a reasonable factor safety for the actual fastener
installation.
The following example shows how the fastener quantity can be determined using various tested pullout values
with the previous calculated required wind uplift resistance.
Example: Using the required local building code uplift resistance = 300 lbs/ft
Roof
Project Test Pullout Value Required Fasteners
1 320 lbs/fastener 300/320 = 0.94 per ft.
or 1 per foot
or 1 every 18 inches
or every 24 inches

CALCULATIONS
Currently Underwriters Laboratory does not require the structural to roof connection to be tested and included in
their listing of tested and rated construction numbers.
Determining the required number of fasteners by the previously described procedure (i.e. using the greater of the
building code design uplift load and the UL-Class 90 wind uplift test load) will provide an attachment design with
an adequate factor of safety for the specified loading.
The contractor is responsible for selecting the type and length of fastener required. The contractor must also
determine the quantity of fasteners. This can be done by giving fasteners per lineal foot of structural member,
fasteners per base clip or total quantity of fasteners.
The following information has been developed to aid in the selection of the proper fastener:

IMPORTANT NOTES
1. The pullout values given are for fasteners in new materials tested under ideal (laboratory) conditions by
the fastener suppliers. The values are given only as a guide to determine the type of fastener that might
be used for a certain application.
2. When using these values for new construction, appropriate safety factors must be applied to the pullout
values. Butler recommends a minimum safety factor of 3.0.

CALCULATIONS
3. When using these values for older, existing construction, Butler recommends that actual fastener pullout
tests be run on the actual materials with which the fasteners will be used. The Fastener Pullout Tester has
been developed to permit performance testing of fasteners under actual on-site conditions. For more
information on Fastener Pullout Tester, please consult the fastener equipment supplier, such as Dynamic
Fasteners of Kansas City, Missouri or others.
4. The load requirements used to choose specific fasteners for a project are as follows:
a. UL-Class 90 uplift requirements should be used if they are higher than the local code
requirements, if UL-Class 90 certification is required. A 120 psf (lbs per sq. ft.) uplift with no
safety factor, will meet or exceed, the UL-Class 90 uplift test on the roof panel.
b. Local building code wind uplift requirements should always be used to choose the minimum
number of fasteners:
Example: Local Code Uplift Reg. x Safety Factor x Structural Spacing

20 psf 3.0 5.0 ft. = 300 lbs/ft. of structural
UL-Class 90 Uplift Load Structural Spacing

120 psf 3.0 = 600 lbs./ft of structural
Summary: Use 600 lbs./ft. – the larger of the two uplift requirements.

NEW CONSTRUCTION ROOF SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
BY BUTLER
GENERAL INFORMATION
New Construction involves using Butler roof products on non-Butler buildings. The paragraphs below include
specific requirements for each Butler roof system and its application to New Construction.
MR-24® AND CMR-24® ROOF SYSTEMS

MR-24 AND CMR-24 roof systems require prepunched structural members for proper alignment of all roof panel
seams and for allowing the planned thermal movement of the roof. Application to roof secondary structural
members that are not punched require the addition of field-punching or field-drilling of holes to some of the
intermediate steel structural members.
Thermal spacer blocks are placed on structural members that are one inch (1”) lower than the eave structural
member.
NEW CONSTRUCTION APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
A. Eave Roof Structural Member must be a prepunched structural with the top elevation in the same plane as the
flat of the MR-24 panel. (Refer to MR-24 Roof System Detail Y033.) A spanning member (hat channel) may be
used for the eave secondary structural. When a stepped roof transition is required (due to building width) the first
roof secondary structural member (at the eave of the raised portion of the roof) must be punched and at least eight
inches higher than the lower roof panel. (Refer to MR-24 Stepped Elevation Detail Y031 or Y032.)
A. Eave Roof Structural Member must be a prepunched structural with the top elevation in the same plane as
the flat of the MR-24 panel. (Refer to MR-24 Roof System Detail Y033.) A spanning member (hat channel) may
be used for the eave secondary structural. When a stepped roof transition is required (due to building width) the
first roof secondary structural member (at the eave of the raised portion of the roof) must be punched and at least
eight inches higher than the lower roof panel. (Refer to MR-24 Stepped Elevation Detail Y031 or Y032.)
B. Intermediate Roof Structural Member(s):

1. Are always punched at the top row of a panel run.
2. Require prepunched holes at the fifth roof secondary structural member (approximately 20 feet) from the
eave and at every fifth roof secondary structural thereafter, prior to the end of the panel run. (An electric-
powered hydraulic Bar Joist Top Chord Puncher may be leased from Butler’s Roof Runner Department for this
purpose.)
3. All other roof secondary structurals may have their clips attached with the appropriate self-drilling screw.
Care must be taken to assure that these roof clips are properly aligned with the other roof clips attached in the
prepunched holes. If all roof clips are not in alignment, adequate roof movement may not occur and thermal
forces may cause roof deterioration due to stress buildup.
C. Bar Joist Lateral Bracing requirements are:

1. MR-24 Roof System provides no lateral bracing capability for bar joists, therefore lateral bracing must be
provided. (Not by Butler.)
2. CMR-24 Roof System provides limited lateral bracing capability for bar joists. If this is planned, then
provisions for providing bracing must be engineered into application requirements for each specific roof project.
NEW CONSTRUCTION GENERAL

APPLICATION
The above text outlines some of the requirements for these roof systems to qualify for the roof warranties listed in
the warranties Section. The roof must meet or exceed the minimum roof slope and other requirements.
VSR ROOF® SYSTEM

The VSR Roof System panel clips are attached to all roof structurals with appropriate self-drilling screws. If all
roof clips are not in alignment, adequate roof movement may not occur and thermal forces may cause roof
deteriorations due to stress buildup. Top elevation of the eave roof structural must be in the same roof plane as
the flat of the VSR roof panel. (Refer to VSR Roof System Detail Y225.) When using a moveable panel clip, the
panel will be attached directly to the eave structural member. All intermediate structural members must be lower
than the eave structural member by either a1/2” for short moveable clips or 1-1/4” for tall moveable clips.
The VSR roof system provides no lateral bracing capability when applied directly to the top chords of either bar
joists or wood joists. Therefore, required lateral bracing must be provided. VSR roof system applied over roof
decking, requires the decking, not the VSR roof system, to provide lateral bracing to top chords of either bar joist
or wood joists.
The above text outlines some of the requirements for the VSR roof system to qualify for the roof warranties listed
in the Warranties Section. The roof must meet or exceed the minimum roof slope and other requirements.

The Butlerib II roof system is designed for application to light gauge, steel eave structural members and purlins
that have lateral bracing.
The Butlerib II roof system is NOT designed for application to top chords of either bar joists or wood joists
because of the stiffness of these structural members and the potential for slotting at panel fasteners.
The above text outlines some of the requirements for the Butlerib II roof system to qualify for the roof warranties
listed in the Warranties Section. The roof must meet or exceed the minimum roof slope and other requirements.

while maintaining weathertightness.
The LITE*PANL panels are used with MR-24, CMR-24 and

Butlerib II roof systems.
Pipe flashing units are constructed of Ethylene Propylene

Diene Monomer (EPDM) black synthetic rubber. A ductile,
aluminum reinforcing ring is bonded to a rubber flange on
the base of the flashing unit. Temperature range is -25°F to
250°F. Pipe flashings are available for a1/4” to 13” outside
diameter pipe.
Pipe flashing units are used with all Butler roof systems.
The ridge ventilator is non-powered, gravity operated and

designed to fit Butlerib II, MR-24 and CMR-24 roof systems
for roof slopes from 1/4:12 to 4:12 inches. The ventilators
are constructed of 24-gauge, galvanized steel, factory-painted
a white color. They are nominal 10’ long with a 9’ throat
opening. The ventilators can be installed as a single unit or
in multiple units along the ridge of the building. A chain-
driven, worm screw operator mechanism operates the
damper.
The ridge ventilators are used with MR-24 and CMR-24 and
Butlerib II roof systems.
The roof ventilator is fabricated from white color

Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) plastic and has the
same configuration as the Butlerib II roof panel for ease of
installation. It is designed for installation at the ridge on roof
slopes of 1/2:12, 1:12 and 4:12 inches.
The gravity ventilator is used with the Butlerib II roof system

only.

The IFCurb is an internally fastened roof curb constructed of
maintenance-free, aluminum. The IFCurb is approved for

STYLWALL® II PANEL DESIGN DATA
StylWall II Fluted Wall System
There are two StylWall II panel designs – StylWall II Flueted and StylWall II Flat. Both are described in the
paragraphs following.
StylWall II Fluted Wall System

The StylWall II Fluted system features an attractive broad-ribbed design that produces interesting shadows and a
consistent texture to the exterior of any building. The outside surface is embossed with a stucco pattern –
providing a rich appearance.
The 16-inch panel width, combined with the wide

“return leg” means almost any conventional material can
be easily fastened to the interior of the wall system.
StylWall II Fluted panels can be easily insulated with a

wide variety of insulation systems – batt, blanket or rigid
board.
The special joint design lets each new panel “snap”

easily into place against the previously installed panel.
Because each

new panel is positioned perfectly by nesting against the first panel,

the joint is hidden deep within the recess of the box ribbed design.
The fasteners are hidden for added appearance and improved
security.
The StylWall II Fluted system includes predesigned and factory-

fabricated transition materials to let you combine StylWall II with
other Butler wall systems as well as brick, glass and other
conventional materials. A variety of attractive, thermally efficient
doors and windows are available with factory cut panel openings for
easy installation. StylWall II Fluted wall panels feature the Butler-
Cote 500 FP coating system.
StyWall II Flat Wall System

StylWall II Flat wall panels feature a smooth, clean look for almost
any structure. The outside surface is embossed with a stucco
pattern-providing a rich appearance. Each panel is fastened to the
wall structural
STYWALL® GENERAL
WALL SYSTEM
Stylwall Fluted Seam Stylwall Flat Seam
system and then “locked” into the adjacent panel, concealing the fasteners. The hidden fasteners provide an
enhancement to the building’s appearance and improve its security.
Laminated to the inside face of the StylWall II Flat panel is a rigid insulation board that improves the insulating
properties of the wall and the flatness of the metal face.
The tested “U” value of the panel with the board laminated to the interior surface equals one inch of fiberglass
blanket insulation. Reducing the amount of additional insulation and the overall cost of the wall.
The rigid backer, along with the special joint design, allows simple and secure installation. Because each new
panel is positioned perfectly by nesting against the previous panel, a uniform joint is created each time with no
unsightly variation in the size of the joint.
The 16-inch panel width, combined with the side “return leg” acts like a metal stud allowing almost any
conventional finishing material to be easily fastened to the interior of the wall system.
STYLWALL® GENERAL
WALL SYSTEM
The StylWall II Flat wall system includes predesigned and factory-
fabricated transition materials to let you combine StylWall II panels with
other Butler wall systems, as well as other conventional wall materials.
Also included in the system are factory-fabricated windows, walk-through

and overhead doors to provide a quality appearance. StylWall II panels are
offered as standard with the Butler-Cote 500FP coating system.

• Warranty provides for material and labor to repair leaks.

• Warranty to cover manufacturer supplied roof panels, trims, flashings, roof curbs, and manufacturer-
approved contractor-fabricated flashings.
• Warranty to be non-prorated, 10 years or 20 years in length, with the option to extend the 10-year
warranty an additional 10 years.
• Combined manufacturer/installer liability to be the original price paid for the installed Butler roof system.
• Contractor’s installation supervisors to be manufacturer trained, tested, and certified through a formal
training program.
• Manufacturer to provide third-party inspections upon project completion. Inspectors to be roof
manufacturer-trained employees of an independent roof consulting and/or testing firm.
• Warranty to be transferable to a new owner if building ownership changes.
* Review the warranty document for a more complete explanation of coverage conditions and limitations.
TYPICAL QUESTIONS
When comparing warranties, take a minute to ask the following questions:

• Does the warranty exclude damage from gale force winds?
Strong gale force winds range from 47-54 MPH as listed in the Beaufort Scale. Damage caused by winds at or
above this speed is cause for claim rejection with some warranties. Butler roof system design and warranty
coverage is consistent with building code requirements for roof design to handle wind speeds that range from a
minimum of 90 MPH to 140 MPH or more.
• Does the warranty require the installer to have a manufacturer trained, tested, and certified
installation supervisor on site full time during installation?
Most other manufacturers’ warranties will not have a requirement regarding the experience, training or
certification of the installation personnel or installation supervisor. A Butler trained installation supervisor, on-
site full time during roof installation, can provide Butler-issued photo certification I.D. upon request.
• Does the warranty program provide for timely and well defined claim resolution?
Under other warranties, the owner is left to “find” the responsible party and enforce the terms of the warranty.
• Does the warranty provide coverage up to the original installed price for the roof system?
Most other roof warranties have fixed dollar liability limits that range from $0.20 to $2.00 per square foot. These
warranties also exclude many roof system components such as trims and roof penetrations. Some warranties are
even pro-rated, reducing coverage each year of the roof’s life. The Butler Watertight Gold warranty provides
coverage up to the roof system’s original installed price for the full warranty period.
The one year Buildings Division Warranty is issued on all Butler material sales. This warranty
contains specifics regarding coverage, exclusions and protections for the installing contractor
and for Butler. This warranty also provides the 25-year paint film warranty at no added cost.
The standard paint film on Butler panels and trims contains 70% Kynar resin providing the best
performance available today. the chalk and fade standards as well as the film integrity are non-
prorated for the full 25-year period.
The Buildings Division has two available endorsements to the issued one year Buildings
Division Warranty. The original Buildings Division Warranty remains in effect with the
specific endorsement coverage. The two endorsements are Extended Life Endorsement and 10-,
20- or 25-year Weathertightness Endorsement.
The Extended Life Endorsement is a 25-year Galvalume (aluminum zinc alloy coating)
material perforation warranty. The endorsement provides protection against perforation
of the roof panels and is limited to roof slopes of 1/4 inch in 12 inches or greater. The
Extended Life Endorsement can include all roofs ordered at the same time for the same
owner at the same location. The coverage has a total aggregate claim limit of
$0.80/square foot and is non-prorated for the full 25-year period. The specific remedy
is repair or replacement at Butler’s option.
Note: A 25-year material (Extended Life Endorsement) or paint finish warranty must
be in effect before any Weathertightness Warranty will be issued.
The 10-, 20- or 25-year Weathertightness Endorsement is also available. There is no

minimum cost. The coverage is limited to the panel system only with a total aggregate
claim limit of $0.20/square foot for the 10-year and $0.50/square foot for the 20-year
endorsements and $0.70/square foot for the 25-year endorsement. Butler is responsible
for the system design and material integrity for the full coverage period. The contractor
is responsible for the installation of the materials for the full coverage period. Butler
further guarantees the performance of the installing Butler contractor.
All exclusions stated in the one year Buildings Division Warranty apply to the
Weathertightness Endorsement. Some of the excluded items are trims, flashings,
penetrations, curbs, secondary structural members, etc. The Weathertightness
Endorsement is non-prorated for the full 10-, 20- or 25-year period. this is the typical
metal building weathertightness warranty. Any approved Butler contractor can apply
for this endorsement.
The Watertight Gold Warranty is available for 10- or 20-year coverage periods. The
warranty covers installed, Butler supplied and preapproved materials, including panels,
trims, flashings, secondary structural members, penetrations and curbs. Excluded are
exterior “rain gear” (exterior gutters and downspouts). The warranty coverage is non-
prorated for the full 10- or 20-year period. This warranty can only be offered by a
Butler Roof Specialist (contractor) and requires specific project pre-approval, personnel
installation training and certification, third party independent installation inspections
and annual follow-up inspections by the owner or owner’s agent.
The Annual Roof Inspection Report and Certification form is offered to Butler building
owners. Owners can then perform an annual roof inspection to maintain a high quality
roof system.
The Corrosive Environment Guide determines the environmental impact of construction

on a building site.

COLORS AND FINISHES GENERAL
ROOF DRAINAGE GUIDELINES
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section provides guidance and assistance when determining roof drainage requirements for Butler and other commercial
buildings. In many conventional designs, roof drainage must be considered. In conventional construction, and as this applies
to retrofitting of conventional building roofs, several factors influence the drainage design and/or the slopes and direction of
slopes on new roofs. The following are guidelines used to determine downspout sizing and spacing based on rainfall
intensities I specific locations utilizing Butler standard gutter sizes and shapes.
The theory and application of fluid mechanics as presented herein conforms to those accepted and utilized in fluid
mechanics and engineering practice.
Butler can assume no legal responsibility for design of gutter and downspout systems by unauthorized persons
applying the principles and procedures outlined in this guide, in any manner, outside the scope and intent of the
instructions contained herein.
In no way do the roof drainage requirements, set forth in this guide, supersede the legal requirements set forth in
various building codes of cities, towns, municipalities or states. Strict compliance with local ordinances is
mandatory.
RAINFALL INTENSITY
Rainfall intensity (U.S.) is expressed in inches per hour. This quantity is determined from data obtained by
measuring the accumulation at five (5) minute intervals throughout the entire rainstorm. The largest accumulation
for a specific duration is then prorated over an hour. This quantity is not necessarily the total quantity of rain that
will fall during a storm, but rather the maximum rate at which it falls during a small part of the storm.
It should be recognized that the shorter the duration of a rainfall, the greater the expected average intensity during
that period. In other words, during a storm lasting 25 minutes, any period less than 25 minutes in length, can have
an average rainfall intensity greater than that of the entire storm. The critical period of rainfall for any building is
that which produces maximum runoff. This period is equal to the time of heaviest concentration, since shorter
periods do not represent total rainfall, and longer durations show a lesser rainfall intensity. The time of
concentration is the time required for the maximum runoff rate to develop and is equal to the time required for a
drop of water to run from the most remote point of the building to the point for which runoff is being estimated.
Another factor that enters into intensity values is the return period. Presumably, an intensity value obtained from
a weather station that has maintained maximum records for 50 years will be equaled or exceeded once every 50
years. This is called a 50-year return period. An intensity value which is exceeded twice in 50 years, or once in
25 years, is called a 25-year return period. The same manner determines 10, 5 and 2-year periods.
ROOF DRAINAGE GENERAL
DESIGN CRITERIA
Design requirements for interior gutters are intensified because an inadequate drainage system may cause
structural or content damage. With exterior gutters, however, overflowing in most cases is not of serious
consequence. Remember that the shape and size of the collector box is a key consideration with multi-width and
interior gutters. See Butler Drawing C-107134 for a suggested method of field fabricating a typical collector box
and screen.
Intensity values for a period of five minutes and a return period of 50 years should be used to determine
downspout requirements for interior systems. Intensity values to determine downspout requirements of exterior
systems should be based on a five-minute duration and a five-year return period. Use the following technical data
to design the roof drainage system for your building.

DOWNSPOUT SPACING
The following charts for use with standard gutters indicate maximum downspount spacing as determined by rainfall intensity
and runoff width. Runoff width is defined as building width for a single slope building or half the building width for a
double slope building. Rainfall intensity is indicated in inches per hour. Values for rainfall intensity can be selected from
table in this section.
Values for four, six, eight and ten inches per hour intensities are shown on the downspout spacing
charts. Values for intermediate levels of intensity can be determined by interpolation between charts. Three
downspout configurations are listed below.
An example for 200’ wide double slope building has been illustrated on the downspout spacing chart for 4”
rainfall intensity (dash line). This building width is equal to a runoff width of 100’. The maximum downspout
spacing required would be approximately 35’ if using a 4” downspout, or approximately 55’ if using a 5”
downspout.
DOWNSPOUT SPACING
The following charts for use with wide gutters indicate maximum downspout spacing as determined by rainfall intensity and
runoff width. Runoff width is defined as building width for a single slope building or half the building width for a double
slope building. Rainfall intensity is indicated in inches per hour. Values for rainfall intensity can be selected from tables in
this section.
Values for four, six eight and ten inches per hour intensities are shown on the downspout spacing charts. Values
for intermediate levels of intensity can be determined by interpolation between charts. Three downspout
configurations are listed below.
An example for 500’ wide double slope building has been illustrated on the downspout spacing chart for 4”
rainfall intensity (dash line). This building width is equal to a runoff width of 250’. The maximum downspout
spacing required would be approximately 38’ if using a 5” downspout, or approximately 46’ if using a 6”
downspout.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These values apply only if Butler Collector Box is used with this gutter design.
