INSTALLING ROOF ACCESSORIES AND DETAILS INSTALACIÓN DE ACCESORIOS Y DETALLES DE TECHO INSTALLATION DES PRODUITS ROOF ACCESSORIES ET DÉTAILS VENTILATION Install GAF ventilation products for optimal shingle life. See General Instructions and the “Through Ventilation” section. Follow the application instructions for the selected ventilation products. VENTILACIÓN Instale productos de ventilación de GAF para una óptima vida útil de la teja.
CHIMNEY FLASHING AND CRICKETS Cover deck around chimney and over wood crickets with GAF Roof Deck Protection. DO NOT run GAF Roof Deck Protection up sides of chimney. Install leak barrier over GAF Roof Deck Protection and up sides of chimney at least 5" (127 mm). Install shop fabricated metal cricket flashings (shown) after underlayments are installed. Seal shingles to the metal flanges (see drawing below).
VALLEY CONSTRUCTION – OPEN Use minimum 20" (508mm) wide aluminum, galvanized steel, copper, or other non-corroding, non-staining metals (24 gauge minimum). Long valleys or local building codes may require wider metal. Nail the metal on the edges so the nail heads hold it in place. Do not puncture the metal. Nailing through the metal may cause leaking and buckling due to movement.
VALLEY CONSTRUCTION – CLOSED CUT CONSTRUCCIÓN DEL VALLE – CORTE CERRADO CONSTRUCTION DE NOUE FERMÉE – COUPE FERMÉE Extend end of shingle at least 12" (305mm) beyond valley center line. Before nailing, firmly press shingles down at valley center to conform to valley shape. Nail, putting extra fastener in top corner of shingle. Due to the extreme water volume in valleys, nails near the center can leak. Extienda la teja del extremo por los menos 12” (305mm) más allá de la línea del centro del valle.
PRECAUTIONARY NOTES 1. These shingles are fiberglass, self-sealing asphalt shingles. Because of the natural characteristics of the high-quality waterproofing material used, these shingles will be stiff in cold weather and flexible in hot weather. 2. These shingles are particularly tough and may require additional effort to trim to fit on the roof. Curved blade utility knives are more effective than straight blade utility knives in cutting these shingles.
