Installation... Please allow about an hour for installation. Components and hardware are referenced in each step to the corresponding letters on parts list (on front page). IMPORTANT NOTE: Roof rafters are generally 16" or 24" on center. On 16" on center construction, the installer can either cut a 14" hole between the rafters or cut a 19" hole with the roof rafter running through the cut hole. On 24" on center construction, cut a 19" hole between the roof rafters.

▼ ▼ 14" HOLE 19" HOLE STEP 4 19" HOLE: With a razor knife, cut a four inch slit through the shingles and tar paper at the three and nine o’clock position of the flashing. This allows for the foot print of the flashing to be inserted under the shingles. 14" HOLE: Additional shingles may also need to be removed on the high side towards the ridge to allow the flashing to slide over the hole (see 14" HOLE Illustration above).
