and use center line for proper alignment along peak.
Fasten using at least two nails at each end and in

nails may be required on steeper slopes to seat

aligning using centering line. When reaching the
other end, cut vent roll to 1" from gable end and nail
in place. End plugs are provided every 6" on the
underside of the product.

at least 1" over end of vent roll. Install with 1 3/4"
nails provided in nail line area as you work your way
down the roof. Cut last cap shingle so that it over
