Step 2h: Install QuickStart® Peel & Stick Starter Roll over the Shingle Headlap...
Install the
QuickStart® Peel & Stick Starter Roll over the shingle headlap, covering the 1.5" (38 mm) gap
between the leak barrier and the top of the shingle exposure (Figure 32). The QuickStart® Peel
& Stick Starter Roll extends the same length as the lower edge of the proposed solar array.
Step 2i:
Install the VersaShield® SOLO™ Fire-Resistant Slip Sheet...
Snap a chalk line 1.5" (38 mm)
above the edge of the QuickStart® Peel & Stick Starter Roll to line up the VersaShield® SOLO™
Fire-Resistant Slip Sheet (Figure 33, next page). It should be installed over the leak barrier,
leaving the same 1.5" (38 mm) gap between the headlap and the start of the roll (Figure 31,
previous page). VersaShield® Solo™ Fire-Resistant Slip Sheet is a fire-retardant layer and is
required for a Class A fire rating. It should be installed only in the field of the proposed solar
array. VersaShield® SOLO™ Fire-Resistant Slip Sheet that extends beyond the field of the
proposed solar array must be trimmed. To fasten, use corrosion-resistant plastic cap nails or
staples with plastic caps. Side and end laps should be fastened 12" (305 mm) o.c. and within
the field of the roll 24" (610 mm) o.c., staggering each row of fasteners that are spaced
approximately 12" (305 mm) apart. Overlap of the side lap should be 3" (76 mm) and end lap
6" (152 mm).
Note: To avoid interference with the starter bar, do not install the first row of cap nails along
the lower edge of the VersaShield® SOLO™ Fire-Resistant Slip Sheet. However, do nail the top
edge of the VersaShield® SOLO™ Fire-Resistant Slip Sheet.
