Los sujetadores deben ser suficientemente largos como para penetrar al menos 3/4" (19mm) en las plataformas base de techos o apenas a través de las plataformas base de madera terciada. Los sujetadores deben ser clavados a nivel con la superficie de la teja. Clavar en exceso puede dañar la teja.
NAILING INSTRUCTIONS / HAND SEALING INSTRUCCIONES DE CLAVADURA / SELLADO A MANO These shingles MUST be nailed a nominal 5-5/8" (143 mm) from bottom of shingle, above the cut-outs, as shown. Avoid placing nails in the self-seal. Nails in the self-seal may interfere with sealing of the shingles and reduce wind resistance. Nails must not be exposed.
INSTALLING UNDERLAYMENT INSTALANDO LA CAPA BASE INSTALLATION DE LA MEMBRANE DE PROTECTION UNDERLAYMENT: FOR ROOF SLOPES 2:12 TO LESS THAN 4:12 Application of eave flashing: At eaves and where ice dams can be expected, use one layer of GAF leak barrier. Eave flashing must not overhang the eave edge by more than 1/4" (6mm) and should extend 24" (610mm) beyond the inside wall line. Where ice dams or debris dams are not expected, install 2 plies of GAF Roof Deck Protection.
UNDERLAYMENT: FOR ROOF SLOPES 4:12 OR MORE Application of eave flashing: At eaves and where ice dams can be expected, use one layer of GAF leak barrier. Eave flashing must extend 24" (610mm) beyond the inside wall line. Application of underlayment: Cover deck with one layer of GAF roof deck protection installed without wrinkles. Use only enough nails to hold underlayment in place until covered by shingles.

INSTALLING ROOF ACCESSORIES AND DETAILS INSTALACIÓN DE ACCESORIOS Y DETALLES DE TECHO VENTILATION Install GAF ventilation products for optimal shingle life. See General Instructions “Through Ventilation” section. Refer to application instructions for the selected ventilation products. VENTILACIÓN Instale productos de ventilación de GAF para una óptima vida útil de la teja. Vea la sección de Instrucciones Generales “ventilación continua”.
CHIMNEY FLASHING AND CRICKETS Cover deck around chimney and over wood crickets with GAF roof deck protection. DO NOT run GAF roof deck protection up sides of chimney. Install leak barrier over GAF roof deck protection and up sides of chimney at least 5" (127 mm). Install shop fabricated metal cricket flashings (shown) after underlayments are installed. Seal shingles to the metal flanges (see drawing below).
VALLEY CONSTRUCTION – OPEN Use minimum 20" (508mm) wide aluminum, galvanized steel, copper, or other non-corroding, non-staining metals (24 gauge minimum). Long valleys or local building codes may require wider metal. Nail the metal on the edges so the nail heads hold it in place. Do not puncture the metal. Nailing through the metal may cause leaking and buckling due to movement.
VALLEY CONSTRUCTION – CLOSED CUT CONSTRUCCIÓN DEL VALLE – CORTE CERRADO Center full width roll of GAF leak barrier. Do not place fasteners within 6" (152mm) of center line. Horizontal laps must be at least 6" (152mm). Extend end of shingle at least 12" (305mm) beyond valley center line. Nail, putting extra fastener in top corner of shingle. Centre un rollo de ancho completo de barrera de filtraciones de GAF. No coloque sujetadores dentro de las 6" (152mm) de la línea central.
VALLEY CONSTRUCTION – WOVEN Weave shingles one over the other up the valley. Keep valley centered; allowing the weave to creep up a valley side will allow water infiltration under the shingles. CONSTRUCCIÓN DE VALLES – ENTRELAZADOS Trama cubre con tablillas uno sobre el otro arriba el valle. Mantenga el valle centrado; dejar que el entrelazamiento vaya trepando por el costado del valle, permitirá la infiltración de agua debajo de las tejas.
PRECAUTIONARY NOTES 1. These shingles are fiberglass, self-sealing asphalt shingles. Because of the natural characteristics of the high-quality waterproofing material used, these shingles will be stiff in cold weather and flexible in hot weather. 2. These shingles are particularly tough and may require additional effort to trim to fit on the roof. Curved blade utility knives are more effective than straight blade utility knives in cutting these shingles.
