Warning: The Valley Base Panels should extend all the way down to
the roof eave (the lower edge of the valley flashing). Failure to do so
may cause melted snow to re-freeze at the unheated areas and form
icicles and ice dams.

Valley Installation

Radiant Edge HotSlot Figure B

1.

If the valley uses a metal “W” valley flashing, the Valley Panel is placed on
one side of the “W”. Installing the Valley Base Panel on the side of the
valley with less ‘watershed’ is preferred. 

2.

For shingle roofs with “woven” valleys, i.e., when no metal flashing is used,
the Valley Base Panel may be installed directly onto the shingles. 

3.

If required, trim the edge of the roofing materials on the side where the
Valley Base is to be installed.

4.

Prepare valley metal by cleaning away debris and cleaning the metal
surface with a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol. 

5.

Apply a continuous bead of approved adhesive to bottom side of the Valley
Base; allow 1" spaces between the Valley Bases. Use masking tape or
some form of securement to temporarily hold valley base until adhesive
cures.
