What kind of weird roofing material is that?

I thought that was something you crazy guys did for seismic bracing.....Chased a gas leak for 2 hrs in 2' of snow on a commercial roof with the FD this winter for "workmanship" just like that...MASSDRIVER said:Anyone wonder what the tensile strength is of gas flex line?Brent.
It is stretched pretty tight and no way would that resist seismic sitting on a couple of 4X4'sI think they call that a flexible appliance connector, not to be confused with CSST PIPE.
The pitch is 2-1/8" We allow shingles on 2" and up.mtlogcabin said:I wonder how you get away with shingles on such low sloped roofs.
I have a 2 footer, but had my eye on this one the last couple of weeks :ICE said:Yes I use a Smart level. I've had it for twenty years or more. The shingle manufacturer will allow shingle on 2" and up. It rains here....a few times each year.
Yea, they weren't cheap. My first one was that 4 foot mahogany like in the pic. The one I have now is just the 2 foot grey model. It mostly gets used for a quick roof slope confirmation and to check plumbing slope. I always thought they were well made.ICE said:That's the one I use. I just bid on one at eBay. $75 with three rails. If you buy that one try to get the instructions for calibrating. You can probably find it on the Internet. If not, I can send you a copy.....if I can find mine......that tells you how often I calibrate mine. There's a quick reset too that is four steps.When I bought mine new 20 years ago, I think I paid at least $75.
2:12 is the minimum slope for shingles in the unamended I-codes. For slopes from 2:12 to 4:12 the underlayment has to be a double layer, lapped 19".mtlogcabin said:I wonder how you get away with shingles on such low sloped roofs.
