Instructions / Assembly
1
Shingle up to and across the base of the chimney to a point where
the tar-line is within at least 4 inches. Notch out shingles if need be.
See reverse side for tips and suggestions.
2
Center the base ashing along the chimney allowing 3 to 4 inches
to extend past either end of chimney as shown. Remove notch from
both ends and bend tabs around to sides of chimney. Nail base ashing
in place ensuring heads will not be visible.
3
Remove notch from step ashing and bend tab around to front of
chimney. Note: Step ashings are generally used to terminate a
course of shingles at a wall, chimney or dormer and usually start at, or
near the tar-line. Next, nail step ashing to the roof only and at a point
where the nail head will be covered by the next shingle.
4
Notch and install step ashing on opposite side of chimney and nail
in place. Cut shingle to t over step ashings leaving approximately a
1/4" to 1/2" gap from the chimney for water drainage. Shingles installed
on the opposite side of chimney should be cut so as to maintain the
water slot patterns. Once you clear the back of the chimney, the shingle
courses must come together again as if the chimney never existed.
5
Continue installing step ashings and shingles on both sides of
chimney until shingle clears the back. Ensure shingle course meets
back up with the shingle on opposite side. Note: When nailing shingles
in place, a general rule is to place the nail about 1 inch above the water
slot or even with the tar line. This helps prevent nail head exposure to
the weather while adhering to shingle manufacturer’s instructions.
6
Cut and bend the last step ashing on both sides of the chimney
and t into place,
