How To Install Metal Hip / Ridge / Peak Caps

How to Install Metal Roofing: Hip, Ridge, and Peak trim are the final metal trim pieces installed on your metal roof.
HIPS: Metal panels that meet at the hips should be cut close to hip point, but not touching. Apply Direct Seal along panels where the hip cap edges will be fastened. Start at the bottom of the hip when installing hip flashing, remember to allow overhang for bending which will match panel overhang. Attached hip flashing with Premium SDS 7/8” screws at each rib along the flashing
RIDGE: There are two applications for the ridge cap flashing: vented and non-vented. For non-vented ridges, install outer closures (with butyl tape on both top and bottom) and fasten cap with Premium SDS 7/8” screws at each rib. For vented ridges, panels at the peak must leave at least a 2-4” gap between them for best ventilation. Razorback Ridgevent should be installed in place of outer closures.
PEAK CAP: This cap flashing is for single sloped structures.
TIPS:
*Remember to leave enough overhang to cut and bend ends to create a finished look.
*Purlins should be placed approximately 3” from center of ridge line on both sides for standard ridge caps.
*Specify the pitch of your roof when ordering to insure a proper fit!
