Questions & Answers

Question:

I have a hipped roof where the main roof pitch is 20 degrees. The hips rafters run at a lower pitch because they are on a 45. they're around abour 14.5 degree. The bevel of the hip is roughly 130 degree. Will these ridge tiles work?

Answer:

Yes — Tapco synthetic ridge/hip tiles will work on a 20° main roof and ~14.5° hip pitch. Tapco slates are tested for pitches as low as 12°, and the ridge/hip caps are designed to flex to suit a wide range of hip bevels.

Technically, they don't make a mono ridge. You would have to bend this and mechanically fix it on site

Corrosion-resistant fasteners are always recommended, especially in coastal areas. The length of the Hip & Ridge fastener should be a minimum length of 2" (51mm) over the slates and 3" (76mm) over ridge vent.
