HP Hip &
Ridge shingles are designed to complement
WeatherGuard HP shingles.
NOTE
:
Use of shingle-over ridge vent will affect
the impact resistance classification.
Before You Begin
Complete shingle application on roof deck before
applying hip and ridge shingles. Hip shingles
must be applied before applying ridge shingles.
All hip and ridge shingles are applied with a
5" exposure. To maintain the 130
-
MPH wind
warranty, you must nail each hip and ridge shingle
with 4 nails and hand seal each shingle using the
High Wind Zone application. See Fig. B.
Failure to hand seal will reduce the wind
warranty to 110 MPH for the hip and ridge
shingle. See Fig. C.
Fastening
Use nails only when installing this product. Nails
must be corrosion-resistant, 11- or 12-gauge, with
heads at least
3
⁄
8
" in diameter.
1. Separate each piece of WeatherGuard Hip
& Ridge shingle into three individual ridge cap
shingle pieces at perforations.
2. All fasteners must penetrate at least ¾" into
wood deck or completely through plywood
sheathing. Cover exposed fasteners on last hip
and ridge shingle with asphalt cement. Roof
cement must meet ASTM D
-
4586 Type I or II
(Asbestos Free).
For High Wind Zones
Apply a ¼" wide bead of elastomeric sealant that
meets ASTM C
-
920 approximately 1" in from
edge and approximately 5" long to each side of
the hip and ridge shingle. See Fig. B.
Installing
Begin hip application at the eave, working toward
the ridge.
1. Begin ridge application opposite the prevailing
wind direction. See Fig. A.
2. Arrange WeatherGuard HP Hip & Ridge
shingles along the centerline so that both
halves fall on opposite sides of the hip or ridge.
3. Fasten each shingle through the top with two
nails on each side, placed 6" back from the
exposed end and 1" and 2" in from the side
edge. See Fig. B.
4. Apply remaining hip and ridge shingles in the
same manner with 5" exposure.
5. When finishing the ridge, leave no headlap
portion of the last hip and ridge shingle
exposed. One option is to use the 5" 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.
6. Fasten final piece with four nails, each 1" and 2"
in from each side edge and 1" in from the end of
the ridge. Cover exposed fasteners with asphalt
roof cement.
