Fasteners shall be long enough to penetrate into the sheathing 0.75 inch or through the thickness of the sheathing, whichever is less. Attaching wire for clay and concrete tile shall not

be smaller than 0.083 inch and shall be copper, brass or stainless steel.

^b Snow areas. A minimum of two fasteners per tile are required or battens and one fastener.

^c Roof slopes greater than 24:12. The nose of all tiles shall be securely fastened.
^d Horizontal battens. Battens shall be not less than one-inch by two-inch nominal. Provisions shall be made for drainage by a minimum of 1/8-inch riser at each nail or by four-foot-long battens with at least a 0.5-inch separation between battens.
