Anyone have a copy of the UBC - I am assuming it has the minimum roof pitch for a residential building, metal roof, west Texas. 4 in 12? Tks.
 
Dave:

From the 2006 IBC (1507.4 "Metal Roof Panels"):

Lapped, nonsoldered seam metal roofs without applied lap sealant: 3 in 12.
Lapped, nonsoldered seam metal roofs with applied lap sealant: 1/2 in 12.
Standing seam: 1/4 in 12.

Good luck.

hey thanks, that helps a lot.
ps, I cannot imagine soldering a roof seam let along a whole roof of seams!!
 
In West Texas can't you just lay the solder next to the seams and wait?:rofl:
 
actually we are pretty cool in the high desert but ask those along the river, or Pecos.
