and NAILABLE (.2)
DEFINITIONS
BITEC defines non-nailable specifications
as those “situations” where
no fasteners are used in the entire
new roof system.
Nailable specifications include all
“situations” where fasteners of any
type have been used within the new
roof system.

SYSTEM NUMBERS GUIDE
EXAMPLES:
A concrete deck normally considered
to be a non-nailable deck,
would be considered a nailable deck
if insulation or base sheet was
mechanically fastened.
Therefore, APM-4T.2 designates
a roof system using mechanical fasteners
and an APM-4T cap sheet.
APM-4T.1 would designate a roof
system without fasteners and an
APM-4T cap sheet.

DESIGNATIONS
All specifications for warranty systems
other than the 10-year systems
must be pre-approved by BITEC’s
Technical Services Department.
Warranty periods other than 10
years are designated by the addition
of .12 for 12 years, .15 for 15
years or .20 to indicate a 20-year
warranty period.
