Do not proceed until all unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.02 INSTALLATION
A. Underlayment:
For pitches of less than 3/12: Lay two layers of 30 or 40 lb. asphalt saturated felt at
right angles to roof pitch, mopped solidly with 25 lbs. of hot asphalt between layers and
mopped solidly on top of layers with hot asphalt. Nail to secure in place as code
requires.
For pitches of 3/12 and greater: Lay one layer of 30 lb. or two layers of 15 lb. asphalt
saturated felt, laid with 4 inch headlap and 6 inch sidelap. Nail to secure in place as
code requires.
B. Flashing:
1. Flash at valleys in strict accordance with Chapter 15 of the Uniform Building Code:
Provide no lighter than 28 gauge corrosion resistant metal flashing extending at least
11 inches from centerline of valley each way.
Provide a splash diverter rib not less than 1 inch high at flow line formed as a part of
flashing.
Provide flashing end laps of not less than 6 inches.
Longitudinal edges shall be turned in not less than 30 degrees, and shall be not less
than 1/2 inch in height to prevent water overflow.
For roof slopes of 3/12 and over, the metal valley flashing shall have a 36 inch wide
underlayment directly under it consisting of a minimum of one layer of Type 15 felt
running the full length of the valley, in addition to other specified underlayment.
2. At sides of dormers, chimneys and other walls, extend flashing at least 6 inches up
vertical surface.
Thoroughly counterflash.
Extend flashing under tile at least 4 inches and turn edge up 1-1/2 inches.
3. At lower sides of dormers, chimneys and other walls, extend flashing at least 3
inches up wall and 4 inches over tile, and then thoroughly counterflash.
4. At wood saddles and returns, line with 16 oz. copper extending up roof slope not
less than 12 inches, and up vertical walls not less than 6 inches, and thoroughly
counterflash.
5. Make all counterflashing plugged, pointed and secure.
6. Extend metal gutter up roof to a point higher than the outer edge of gutter.
C. Birdstops, boosters and starters:
