Installation Instructions

Separate the Pro-Cut® Hip & Ridge shingle into three equal pieces along the perforated lines provided. Bend
each piece lengthwise to provide equal exposure on both sides of the ridge. Allow 5 5/8" of exposure and nail 6"
from exposed butt edge with 2 nails—1" from each side. The direction of the exposed end should be away from
the prevailing wind. One bundle of shingles will provide approximately 31 lineal feet of ridge coverage when
applied in accordance with these instructions.
12.) RE-ROOFING OVER ASPHALT SHINGLES
Replace all missing shingles. Split and securely nail all buckles, raised tabs or curled shingles. Ensure attic
ventilation complies with FHA Minimum Property Standards as stated previously. Install a layer of number 30
felt underlayment to maintain a Class A fire rating. Asphalt Felt is to be applied over the old shingles and then
proceed with the new shingles as if applying a new roof.
DIAGRAM 6 IMPORTANT: Atlas recommends 2" nails for a roof over. See Section 8.
ATLAS ROOFING CORPORATION DOES NOT APPROVE RE-ROOFING OVER EXISTING WOOD

2 INCHES PER FOOT.
WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Roofing application can be dangerous. All necessary precautions and safety guidelines should be
observed in accordance with proper roofing trade practices. Every effort should be made to keep roof traffic to a
minimum. Regular roof maintenance should be performed in the cooler parts of the day.
Important Precautions: Store on flat surface. Protect from weather during storage and on job site. Sealant
protection tape is placed on the back of each shingle and does not have to be removed before applying.
DISCOLORATION: Some shading or variations in the colors may occur due to positioning or embedment of
the granule. When asphalt shingles are packaged, they are under a certain amount of pressure due to weight.
Minor staining may occur. While in storage, they may also pick up varying amounts of backing material used to
keep the shingles from sticking together. These discolorations are temporary and are removed by natural
weathering.
