Hip, ridge, and valley construction clip

Abstract

A clip to be used with at least one track in a roofing assembly, the clip including a planar surface and at least one pair of flanges extending away from the planar surface in an orthogonal manner to define a right angle between each flange and the planar surface. Each flange defines an attachment surface for a corresponding track and extends away from a lower boundary of the planar surface in an orthogonal manner to define a right angle between each flange of the upper pair of flanges and the planar surface. The clip is sized to form a roof assembly having a pitch selected from any one of 6/12, 7/12, 8/12, 9/12, 10/12, 11/12 and 12/12. Moreover, the planar surface may include a G-90 coating and the clip can be manufactured from a material selected from a group including 16 gauge steel, wood, polymer and an alloy.
