Keenan in Wisconsin asked:
Owens Corning ProEdge Hip and Ridge instructions call for a 6" exposure with nails placed at 6 1/4". Why are the nails placed so close to the exposure and outside the sealant? I'm trying to understand the manufacturers logic for the nail placement. What am I missing?

Below is what our roofing expert Erica Reed at Elite Construction Solutions had to say in response to your question:
According to OC , they have an over lay from the top cap shingle past the sealant bead to cover the nail head. They don’t want the nail head to impact the seal ability. Also, they want to make sure it’s covered by the shingle above it so it doesn’t rust from weathering. Hope that helps!
