This series of slides shows how to properly install a hip cap on a standing seam metal roof. It is from a popular video series
compiled by Union Corrugating, and while the company’s own product line for a 16” wide snap lock nail f lange panel is used here, you may find the instructions helpful for comparable panels. Check with your own supplier. These instructions are for illustrative purposes only and may not be appropriate for all applications.
