DMI 3 in. Round Insulation Plates, SAE J1392, 1000 Per Box
DMI 3 in. round insulation plates fasten insulation board to steel, wood or masonry roof decks and distribute the clamping force of commercial roofing fasteners. Each plate is SAE J1392 spec, 3 in.

- All deck types: Suitable for insulation attachment to steel, wood or masonry roof decks.
- Ribbed for strength: Multiple rib design adds plate strength during and after fastening.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Match plate diameter and gauge to your fastener and insulation thickness, and always follow the membrane manufacturer's required fastener density for wind uplift. The recessed hole helps prevent the screw head from telegraphing through the membrane. On masonry decks, pair these with 1/4 in. masonry fasteners; on steel and wood decks, #12, #14 or #15 screws work.
Wear gloves and eye protection when driving fasteners; plates and screw points have sharp edges.
