3. Before installing the pre-cut 4-inch 18-gauge joining
strips, pre-drill holes in the floor using the 4-inch strip
as a guide with a 7/32-inch drill bit at 12-inch centers.
4. After holes are pre-drilled, apply an ample bead of
caulk to the joint then install 4-inch strip with #14 sheet
metal screws uniformly straddling the split.
5. In cases of tread plate floor, some job specifications
may call for the seam to be welded. In those cases
make sure the sections are pulled together tightly then
weld with appropriate method. The floor construction
in those cases will be such that the heat from welding
will not affect the insulation.
