Collector parallel to metal roof deck span
Collector parallel to metal roof deck span
(OP)
Anyone have any method for attaching a steel collector running parallel to a 1.5B metal roof deck span?
The collector is located at an interior portion of the roof.
My problem seems to be ensuring that the deck valley falls over the steel so that it can be connected.
Thanks!

1. Make the collector wide enough to deal with any variation of the typical 6" flute frequency, or
2. Require the deck manufacturer/supplier to lay out the deck so that the flutes do line up with that collector surface.
Option 1 is less problematic in my view.

Leave the details to the deck supplier, and make sure that the inspector and contractor are tuned in to your requirement at the pre-construction conference.
