WARNING
Minimum Substrate Requirements:
• Wood: 3/4” CDX and 3“ support beam. (8) 3”, 16d stainless steel spiral nails (provided). Fasteners must fully
embed through sheeting and into support beam. MINIMUM 2” fastener embedment into support beam.
• Metal: 20 gauge. For metal installations, use (8) #14-10 x 2” sheet metal screws (not provided).
• Compatible Roof Pitch: flat - vertical. NEVER install past vertical (such as on underside of beam).
Installation:
• Adhere to installation instructions specific to product part # ONLY.
• Always place Butyl Strips down against work surface.
• Ridge-It Anchors must NEVER be used in horizontal lifeline applications.
#00500:
1. Determine desired location of Ridge-It Anchor. Ridge-It Anchor must be installed perpendicular to roof peak
and parallel with truss or support beam. Label must face up. Butyl Strip must lie flush against roof surface.
2. Butyl Strips function to provide weather resistance and waterproofing, thereby allowing
Ridge-It Anchor to be installed directly on roof surface without removing ridge cap/roof
shingling. It is permitted to install in a retrofit application beneath ridge cap/roof shingling;
if doing so, remove all applicable ridge cap/roof shingling at selected installation location.
3. Position Ridge-It Anchor at selected installation location. Install all (8) 3”, 16d nails into
all fastener installation locations. MINIMUM 2” fastener embedment into support beam.
4. If applicable, ensure roof shingling is fully installed/reinstalled over Ridge-It Anchor
according to shingling manufacturer’s instructions, and the judgment of a Competent Person.
Shingling must fully cover Ridge-It Anchor body. D-ring must remain uncovered.
