3.	Do not apply membrane by any method except welding with a propane torch or other equipment specifically designed for application of torchable modified bitumen.
4.	The coiled membrane shall be unrolled approximately 10 feet (3 m), and aligned.  The propane torch flame is then applied uniformly across the exposed back surface of the membrane and lap areas until the compound reaches the proper application temperature and exhibits a slight sheen. A complete burn-off of release films where present on the underside of the rolls, membrane selvage edges or both surfaces is necessary. Avoid overheating which may result in damage to or improper adhesion of the membrane. (The flame should be moved from side to side in the shape of an "L", applying about 75 percent of the heat to the membrane and 25 percent to the substrate or underlying plies including the lap area of the previously installed courses.) The membrane is slowly unrolled as heat is applied to ensure proper adhesion. When complete, re-roll the opposite end of the membrane and install in the same manner.
5.	A minimum 3/8 inch (10 mm) bitumen flow-out shall be obtained at all seam areas.  Dry laps are not acceptable.  To ensure the proper flow of bitumen at the seam areas, a roller may be used.

Hand rollers or "walking-in the seam" methods are also acceptable. Check all seams for full and uniform adhesion. Un-adhered seams shall be lifted with a heated trowel and resealed by lightly torching the seam area.
6.	Matching granules may be broadcast into the modified bitumen bleed out at seams while hot to enhance the finished appearance of the membrane.
7.	All end laps shall be staggered a minimum of 18 inches (457 mm) so that no adjacent end laps coincide. If end laps fall in line or are not staggered the proper distance, a full width of membrane shall be installed over the end laps. End laps, flashing sheets and other seams formed over granule surfaces require pre-heating of the top surface of the underlying granule surface membrane to a point where the granules just begin to sink into, and the modified bitumen compound comes up through the granules to ensure proper seam construction and adhesion.
8.	All laps shall be parallel or perpendicular to the slope of the roof such that the flow of water is not against the lap.
9.	Cap sheet application: Install full width cap sheets, lapping 3 inches (76 mm) on the sides and 6 inches (152 mm) on ends.  Stagger adjacent end laps a minimum of 18 inches (457 mm) apart. All side and end laps shall be staggered from underlying plies.

Lap plies 3 inches (76 mm) on side laps and 6 inches (152 mm) on end laps. Stagger adjacent end laps a minimum of 18 inches (457 mm).
11.	Interply and cap sheet application: Over the base sheet or approved substrate, install 13-1/8 inches (333 mm), 26-1/4 inches (667 mm) and 39-3/8 inches (1000 mm) width Ruberoid starter plies and follow with a second full 39-3/8 inches (1000 mm) width granule surfaced sheet applied shingle style.  Lap plies 3 inches (76 mm) on sides and 6 inches (152 mm) at ends.  Stagger adjacent end laps a minimum of 18 inches (457 mm).
12.	If damage by other trades or any inadvertent damage should occur to the EnergyCap product during installation, and for aesthetic purposes only, an additional fog coat of EnergyCote coating can be applied to the sheet at a rate of 1/4 to 1 gallon per 100 sq ft.

3.	Cap sheet application: Install full width cap sheets, lapping 3 inches (76 mm) on the sides and 6 inches (152 mm) on ends.  Stagger adjacent end laps a minimum of 18 inches (457 mm) apart. All side and end laps shall be staggered from underlying plies.
4.	Never apply membrane by any method except welding with a propane torch or other equipment specifically designed for application of torchable modified bitumen.
5.	The coiled membrane shall be unrolled approximately 10 feet (3000 mm), and aligned.  The propane torch flame is then applied uniformly across the exposed back surface of the membrane and lap areas until the compound reaches the proper application temperature and exhibits a slight sheen. A complete burn-off of all release films is necessary.  Avoid overheating, which may result in damage to or improper adhesion of the membrane. (The flame should be moved from side to side in the shape of an "L", applying about 75 percent of the heat to the membrane and 25 percent to the substrate or underlying plies including the lap area of the previously installed courses.)

Backer plies installed over masonry or other non-nailable substrates shall be cut into manageable lengths to ensure adequate adhesion to the cant strip and vertical surfaces without excessive voids.  All vertical laps shall be 4 inches (102 mm). Backer plies shall extend onto the field of the roof as shown in the applicable GAF construction detail.
5.	The finished ply of base flashing shall be run vertically to provide a selvage edge that will aid in achieving proper adhesion at the 3 inches (76 mm) vertical laps.  If the sheet is run horizontally, the vertical laps shall be a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) and the selvage edge shall be removed form the sheet or fully covered by the counterflashing.  The finished flashing ply shall extend out onto the field of the roof as shown in the applicable GAF construction detail, and shall be extended a minimum of 4 inches (102 mm) beyond the edge of the prior flashing plies.  The flashing shall be soundly adhered to the parapet, cant area and roof surface to result in a minimum void, non-bridging construction.
6.	Base flashing heights shall be a minimum of 8 inches (203 mm) and a maximum of 24 inches (610 mm) above the roofline.
7.	Use only Type III or Type IV hot asphalt.  Maintain asphalt at the Equiviscous Temperature (EVT) +/- 25 degree F (13.9 degree C) for all base and ply sheets used in flashing details.  Apply flashing membranes at the EVT temperature or 425 degree F (218 degree C) whichever is greater.  Firmly press sheets into the adhesive, and immediately nail the top of the flashing as specified it the appropriate flashing detail.
8.	Corner membrane flashings for outside corners and inside corners, or other membrane reinforcements are required to ensure that base flashing corners are sealed at cant areas.
