3\. End laps shall be a minimum of six inches and shall occur over
supports.

4\. Provide framing around openings in roof deck that are 12 inches or
more in dimension in either direction.

5\. The deck shall be installed with self-drilling, self-tapping
power-driven screws designed for this purpose.

B. Welds: When welded connections are requested in writing and approved
for use, the following shall apply:

1\. The average spacing of welds shall not exceed 6 inches oc at sheet
ends and endlaps or diaphragm edges, and 12 inches oc at intermediate
