| | | | 6. | At hips and ridges, install leak barrier along entire lengths. If ridge vents are to be installed, position the leak barrier so that the ridge slots are not covered. |
| |
| | 3.5 | INSTALLATION OF SHINGLES |
| |
| | | A. | Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and requirements of local building code. |
| | | | 1. | Avoid breakage of shingles by avoiding dropping bundles on edge, by separating shingles carefully (not by "breaking" over ridge or bundles), and by taking extra precautions in temperatures below 40 degrees F (4 degrees C). |
| | | | 2. | Handle carefully in hot weather to avoid damaging shingle edges. |
| | | | 3. | Secure with 4 to 6 nails per shingle; use number of nails required by manufacturer or by code, whichever is greater. Nails must be long enough to penetrate through plywood or OSB, or 3/4 inch (19 mm) into dimensional lumber. |
| |
| | | B. | Install hip and ridge shingles as required by the manufacturer. |
| | | | 1. | At ridges, install hip and ridge shingles over ridge or ridge vent material. |
| | ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete all but one of the following three styles of valleys. Open valleys and closed cut valleys are suitable for all styles of shingles. Woven Valleys are only acceptable with Sentinel, Royal Sovereign, Marquis Weathermax and Slateline Shingles. |
| |

| | | | 2. | Run all courses of shingles from the lower roof slope across the valley at least 12 inches (305 mm) and nail not closer than 6 inches (150 mm) to center of valley. |
| | | | 3. | Run shingles from the upper roof slope into valley and trim 2 inches (50 mm) from center of valley. |
| |
| | | E. | Make valleys using "woven valley" technique: |
| | | | 1. | Run shingles from both roof slopes at least 12 inches (305 mm) across center of valley, lapping alternate sides in a woven pattern. |
| | | | 2. | Nail not closer than 6 inches (150 mm) to center of valley. |
| |
| | | F. | At skylights, chimneys and other penetrations, shingle up to and around the opening or penetration prior to installing the appropriate flashing. Install flashing and shingles in accordance with manufacturer's standard instructions for skylights, chimneys and penetrations. |
