Step 6
Insert the reciprocating saw blade sideways at the three o’clock position and
commence cutting the roofing nails up and around to the nine o’clock position.
This process removes the nails that will prevent the flashing footprint from sliding
underneath the shingles.
Step 7
Caulk
underside
of flashing with the provided caulking material. Two concentric
rings of caulking material is sufficient.
NOTE:
Installation on tile roofs will require the use of a skirt.
Step 8
Taking care not to smear caulk on the exposed shingles, slide flashing under tar
paper and shingles and force flashing up until the shingles come in contact with
the raised portion of the flashing. The bottom side of the flashing will be on top
of the shingles. Secure flashing with four Phillips head screws at the 3:00, 6:00,
9:00 and 12:00 positions. The 3:00 and 9:00 positions screws should go under the
shingles. The 6:00 and 12:00 position screws should go on top of the shingles.
Step 9
At the 6:00 and 12:00 positions, caulk over the screw head, since it will be exposed
to the weather. Use remaining caulk to seal the areas where the 4” slits were
made and around the area where the shingles meet with the raised area of the
flashing.
