1. (SKIP TO STEP 3 IF
INSTALLING A ROOF CAP ONLY.) First, determine if it is possible to drill
a 3/4" hole into the peak of your roof for bottom of Finial's post.
This is the best method for anchoring a Finial. Drill hole UP TO
4" into peak.
2. Trim brass post if
necessary. Finial's large globe should rest on cap's copper tube.
3. Properly seal roof
before installing cap. **ROOF CAPS SHOULD BE USED FOR ORNAMENTAL
PURPOSES ONLY.
4. Us PLENTY
of ADHESIVE SILICONE CAULKING inside cap around bottom of post,
along each bend where solder shows, around nail holes, where Finial
enters cap and around screw that secures Finial to cap. Place caulk in
roof hole also, if applicable.
5. Set Finial (Cap)
on roof and plumb.
6. Using care to
assure that points on cap bottom will not get caught, push firmly, but
not forcibly, onto roof peak. Secure using roofing nails in holes
provided by placing 2 opposite nails. Double-check plumb and finish
securing cap to roof.
