Installation Guide

Complete shingle application on roof deck
before applying hip and ridge shingles. Hip
shingles must be applied before ridge shingles.
Note: If a new roof is being applied over an
existing roof, remove the old hip and ridge
shingles to obtain a level application. Each
shingle is perforated for separation into three
Hip & Ridge shingles.
Precautionary Notes
The manufacturer will not be responsible for
problems resulting from any deviation from
the recommended application instructions
and the following precautions.
(A) Handling: Use extra care in handling
shingles when the temperature is below
40°F (5°C). DO NOT drop bundles.
Shingles can be broken easily in cold
weather or their edges damaged in hot
weather. DO NOT attempt to separate
shingles by "breaking" them over another
object such as a ridge.
(B) Fastener requirement: Use galvanized
steel, stainless steel, or aluminum
nails minimum 12 gauge shank with
3/8" diameter head. Owens Corning
™
recommends that fasteners comply with
ASTM F 1667. Check local building codes.
All fasteners must penetrate at least ¾ "
into the wood deck or completely through
plywood or OSB sheathing.
(C) F as te ni ng : Drive all fasteners until they
are  ush with the surface of the shingle.
Special care must be taken when using
pneumatic nail guns. Nails are to be driven
straight so the entire head is  ush against
the shingle but does not cut the shingle
surface. An improperly adjusted pneumatic
gun can result in raised fasteners causing
sealing failure, raised tabs, leaks, or
blow-off. Place fasteners 7 ½ " from the
butt edge of the shingle. Do not apply
fasteners in the sealant strip.
(D) Storage: Store in a covered, ventilated
area at a maximum temperature of 110°F
(43°C). Stack in a  at fashion (maximum
of 24 bundles high). Protect shingles from
weather when stored at the job site. Do
not store near steam pipes, radiators, etc.
(E) All exposed material must be rated
Class A by Underwriters Laboratories, to
maintain a Class A system.
Hip & Ridge Application
1. Apply Hip & Ridge as shown, bending them
over the hip or ridge lengthwise.
2. Apply ridge after hips have been applied,
beginning on end of ridge opposite
prevailing wind direction. See Fig. 1
3. Apply shingles with 6" exposure.
4. Fasten each shingle with 2 fasteners on
each side, 1 inch and 2 inches from the
edge and 7 ½ inch from the exposed end.
See Fig. 2
5. Apply remaining hip and ridge shingles in
the same manner with a 6 inch exposure.
6. When  nishing the ridge, leave no headlap
portion of the last hip and ridge shingle
exposed. One option is to use the 6 inch
exposed portion of a hip and ridge shingle,
cutting a piece the appropriate length to
extend over the headlap portion of the
shingle to the end of the ridge.
7. Fasten  nal piece with four nails, each 1
inch and 2 inches in from each side edge
and 1 inch in from the end of the ridge.
Cover exposed fasteners with asphalt roof
cement. Asphalt roof cement must meet
ASTM D-4586 Type I or Type II (Asbestos
Free).
Installing Double Hip & Ridge
Applying a double layer of shingles to hips
or ridges is easy to do and creates a more
aesthetically pleasing appearance. Simply
