Installation Instructions

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 an 8 inch exposure. Note: If a new roof
is being applied over an existing roof, remove
the old hip and ridge shingles to obtain a level
application.
Handling
Use extra care in handling shingles when the
temperature is below 40°F. In cold weather, it is
recommended to warm DURARIDGE
shingles
before installing.
Fastener Requirement
Use galvanized steel, stainless steel, or aluminum
nails minimum 12 gauge shank with
3
8" diameter
head. Owens Corning Roong recommends
that fasteners comply with ASTM F 1667.
Check local building codes. All Fasteners must
penetrate at least ¾" into the wood deck or
completely through sheathing.
Note: Owens Corning Roong recommends
the use of nails as the preferred method of
attaching shingles to wood decking or other
nailable surface.
Installing
Begin hip application at the eave working
toward the ridge.
1. Begin ridge application opposite the prevailing
wind direction. (Fig. A)
2. Arrange DURARIDGE
Hip & Ridge shingles
along the center line so that both halves of the
laminated piece fall on opposite sides of the
hip or ridge. (Fig. B)
3. Begin application by creating a starting piece
using the laminated piece with the 8 inch
exposed portion of the shingle removed.
Fasten starter piece with one nail on each
side 1 inch in from the side edge starting from
the xed side edge placed into the SureNail
®
Technology fastening area.
4. Continue to fasten each full shingle through
the top laminated piece with one nail on each
side placed 9 inches back from the exposed
end and 1 inch in from the side edge starting
from the xed edge of each shingle. Note:
Fasteners must be placed into the SureNail
®
Technology fastening area. (Fig. B)
5. Apply remaining hip and ridge shingles in the
same manner with 8 inch exposure.
6. When nishing the ridge, leave no laminated
portion of the last hip and ridge shingle
exposed. One option is to use the 8 inch
exposure portion of a hip and ridge shingle,
cutting a piece the appropriate length to
extend over the laminated portion of the
shingle to the end of the ridge.
7. Fasten nal piece with two nails, each 1 inch
in from each side edge and 1 inch in from the
end of the ridge. Cover exposed fasteners
with asphalt roof cement. Asphalt roof
cement must meet ASTM D-4586 Type I
or Type II (Asbestos Free). Note: Please be
aware that excessive amounts of asphalt roof
cement could blister the shingle.
