[RE-wrenches] Ironridge BOSS splice

[Dave Tedeyan]

Hi All,

I am looking through the installation manual for Ironridge racking and
noticed this:
--------
BOSS - Bonded Structual Splice
Insert BOSS into first Rail up until the Stop Tab. Slide second Rail fully
into place.
➢ Rows using Classic Splice or BOSS and exceeding 100 feet of Rail must use
Expansion Joints.
➢ Boss Splices may be installed in any location within a span.
➢
*UFO and Bonding Hardware must be installed 1" away from the point wheretwo
Rails join together.*
*------*
I put the third bullet point in bold. Is this saying that you need to
ensure that the splice ends up essentially right where two modules meet? Or
are they talking about for an expansion joint only? Needing to plan out the
exact splice locations and cut every rail to the right length seems to make
these splices way more difficult to work with than the normal splice, so I
don't get why anyone would use them.

Cheers,
Dave
