Step 1: Attaching the Roof Hook to the Roof
*Roof hooks must be installed no more than 48” apart along each rail*
a. Locate the rafter and place the roof hook on the roof. Loosen the single above the roof hook and
temporarily set the flashing in place. This is to make sure the placement of the roof hook is
accommodating.
b. Using the Simpson Strong Drive screws, fasten the roof hook atop the shingle. There is no need to pre-
drill holes.
c. Once again, loosen the single above and move flashing in place. There is no need to fasten the flashing
down with roofing nails, but using roofing caulk is optional.
d. Repeat steps 1a through 1c making sure not to exceed 48” spans.
e.
In cases where the flashing does not fit under the
above shingle, it may be necessary to notch out
the shingle.
