Wedge-It

GENERAL LAYOUT

Install the Wedge-It^tm over top of the tar paper. No fasteners are required, the tile will hold the Wedge-It^tm in place.

Maintain a 1"-2" clearance between each 4 ft. batten of the Wedge-It^tm to allow proper water drainage.

(Also for Skylights & Roof to Wall connections): Maintain clearance around all flashing so as not to impede proper water drainage. Maintain a 10" clearance from the back of the chimney or skylight to the Wedge-It^tm course. Maintain a 4" clearance in all areas where tile pan flashing or step flashings are installed.

POINTS TO CONSIDER:

It is not recommended to install partial areas of roof with Wedge-It^tm, as this will cause bumps in the roof. It is recommended to install entire sides and sections with Wedge-It^tm.
It is recommended to paint the front edge of the first course of Wedge-it to avoid seeing this course from over the riser metal. Roofmaster^tm Paint is recommended.
While Wedge-It^tm can double the load capacity of some lite-weight roof tiles and increase the walkability of the roof, there is no guarantee against some breakage of tile. Wedge-It^tm accepts no responsibility if manufacturer instructions are not followed for installation of Wedge-It^tm and roof tile.
