Lay HipMaster in position mak-
ing sure there is good contact
with roofing sealant. Ensure that all low
points in shingles are filled with seal-
ant. Failure to properly seal could lead
to water intrusion.
Always start with an Overlap
end at bottom. Join vents
together by interlocking the ends.
REMEMBER: ALL arrows on all
vents must point UP towards TOP
of roof.
Make sure first vent is inter-
locked with Starter Piece and
begin nailing in place, making sure
nails penetrate at least 1/4" through
sheathing. (Refer to Step 13 for
nailing sequence.)
Recommended nailing se-
quence is from bottom to top
of HipMaster and roof as indicated,
alternating sides and nailing com-
pletely as you go up roof.
When there isn’t a ridge vent to
join with HipMaster at top of
roof, use a Starter Piece to terminate
vent. Remember: slot cut outs must
stop 36" from top end of HipMaster
when terminated with a Starter Piece.

Carefully cut and remove mitre
template from box and use
guides to trim to your pitch. Place point
of mitre template at square cut end of
HipMaster and scribe line for cutting.
Use built-in Shingle Alignment
Guides to evenly space cap
shingles on HipMaster . See Steps 16,
17, 18 and 19 on page 4 for further tips.
Nail all cap shingles in place
working from bottom of hips to
top of ridge. Finish by capping ridge.
Apply a bit of roof sealant to last shingle
where needed.
Cut HipMaster along scribed
mitre lines with shears or knife
to form proper hip to ridge mitre.
When hip and ridge vent are
installed together, follow this
method. Lay last piece of hip vent over
top of ridge vent, measure where center
of hip vent crosses center of ridge vent
and cut hip vent square at this point.

Repeat for other side. A tight
mitre should result. If mitre is
slightly open it should be sealed with
roofing sealant.
NOTE: Butt Start-
er Piece up to
end of
HipMaster
and caulk bottom
and all joints
liberally.
