TITAN DUO ANCHOR POST-TO-PILE 1. Insert the short anchor post (pipe) in the front (South) pile. PRO TIP 2. Measuring from the ground to the top of the post, ensure the posts are at the correct height according to the construction plans. Also ensure the upper bolt holes are rotated to align in the East-West direction. -

TITAN DUO N/S CHORD-TO-REAR POST 1. Attach the N/S chord to the rear post. 2. Ensure the N/S chord is on the West side of the post, with the flat side against the post, and the smaller flange with the slots pointing upwards, as shown. - Page 10 TITAN DUO ROLL BRACKET-TO-N/S CHORD 1. Along the flat side of the N/S chord, with the slots on the N/S chord pointing up, attach a preassembled roll bracket. 2. Match the two (2) studs in the roll bracket assembly in the correct hole set at the front of the part.
- Page 11 TITAN DUO ZEE PURLINS TO ROLL BRACKET 1. Ensure the stud goes through both zee purlins. 2. Secure with a nut. Fasten loosely. 3. Repeat at all locations for each N/S chord. There are three (3) roll brackets and connections required per N/S chord.

TITAN DUO TRANSVERSE BRACE-TO-ZEE PURLIN 1. Install the transverse braces to the zee purlins at the locations required per the construction plans. Braces are always installed in sets of two (2); one pointing East, and one pointing West. Braces are required at the first and last purlin splice on each row, and at increments re- quired per the plans. - Page 13 TITAN DUO TRANSVERSE BRACE-TO-ZEE PURLIN (CONTINUED) 4. Repeat at the opposite end of the transverse brace, directing the brace away from the splice. There is a solo slot approximately 5’ from the outer splice hole. Fasten through this hole using the outer or middle hole in the transverse brace (same as step 2).

TITAN DUO GRAVITY CLIP PREINSTALLATION 1. On the center zee purlin, install the gravity clip assem- bly (midclamp assemblies with the gravity clip). 2. Refer to the construction documentation for the pre- cise locations of where the gravity clip assemblies are required. - Page 15 TITAN DUO PANEL INSTALLATION (CONTINUED) 4. Align the long edges of the modules so they are flush. 5. Install an end clamp at the beginning, on both the top and bottom modules, in the long keyslot. Keep loose. 6. Install midclamp assemblies (with the weeb washer) on the inner edges of the top and bottom modules, typ- ically in the long keyslots.

But before implementing any of the be- sink in the future. low tips, make sure to request approval from APA’s Engineering team, as not all solutions are allowed on every site. Use grip clamps when setting post transitions . This is the best... - Page 18 Annually, bolted connections need to be visually inspected to ensure the components are properly joined together. At the beginning, middle, and end of each row, there are torque marked nuts/bolts per the APA QA/QC process. These marked locations should be visually inspected to confirm no movement of the bolted connections has occurred. If loose hardware is found, re-tighten to the specifications noted in the plan set for the racking system.
