Hip Valley Roofing

Makes cutting exposed fastener panel extremely easy.

Hip valley roofing.

The hip and valley roofing shear is the optimal metal roofing tool for cutting hips and valleys on your metal roof panels. A hip and valley roof may be part of an irregular structure. This type of roof is also called broken back hip and valley roof because the main hips are intconeected by the rafter of gables on one side and the rafter of the valley on the other. The model 64 hip valley roofing shear by swenson shear with its 64 blade is ideal for shearing heavy gauge exposed fastener panels with the ability to shear straight at 90 and up to a 9 12 valley cut.

Determining the slope and skew angles related to hip and valley beams can be a challenge made even more difficult when the roof slopes on each side if the hip or valley are different. Hip roofs drain water well and leaves don t build up on them. A roof hip refers to the outwards diagonal joint created by the junction of two roof slopes. Hip roofs are thus much more resistant to wind damage than gable roofs.

Hip roofs have no large flat or slab sided ends to catch wind and are inherently much more stable than gable roofs. Eliminates burred edges and flying metal. Broken hip and valley roof scotch valley duration. The hip and valley factor varies according to the slope of the roof as shown in the table below.

For any roof slope expressed as x in 12 rise in run the hip and valley factor is determined by finding the square root of rise run 2. Such buildings may have more than four hips in the roofs and they form valleys at the inside corners. A roof ridge refers to the upper most peaks created by the junction of two roof slopes facing opposite directions. How to measure roof rafters including the pitch and bird s mouth seat cuts captioned.

This slope and skew calculator makes it easy by performing all of the necessary trigonometry for each hanger condition in the roof. Divide the rise by the run the run is 12. A hip roof on a varied plan h denotes a hip v denotes a valley a hip roof is self bracing requiring less diagonal bracing than a gable roof. The custom blades match any panel profile providing a clean cut eliminating burred edges and flying metal.
