Oh just because the L foot was bad mouthed on the list earlier,
although no one had ever had a reported problem, even with installs
20 years old.
I think its actually your new product line of cool flashed mounts
that made us all feel inadequate with the venerable L foot.
Glad to hear about the change to the heavier duty hanger bolt.
Thanks,
Ray

sticking my neck out can you define why you call it the dreaded L
foot?

Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] more on roof penetrations
We used a lag stud assembly from Unirac, with the dreaded L foot at
the top of the corrugated ridge, & plenty of pooky under. The
driver tool for the stud wasn't very useful, and because the stud
was stainless we had a hard time driving it all the way in, without
over torquing. I'd use a larger diameter, non stainless stud next
time.
THis was on a horse shed, I wouldn't mess with the thin corrugated
roofing at all on a residence. Its so thin it bends just walking on
it. There is some heavier gauge corrugated roofing that is nice.
My rule, is if the roof is already questionable, I won't touch it
if its a residence.

Wrenches,
For those of you in the opinion of using standoffs instead of L-feet,
what do you do on corrugated metal roofs? I'm seeing a lot of these in
both residential and commercial buildings.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
