TapcoSlate Classic Victorian Hip End Cap - 135 Degree, Stone Black

Its primary advantage is providing a secure, weather-tight, and aesthetically pleasing dry-fix solution for 135° hip rafter terminations, simplifying installation and eliminating the need for traditional mortar.

The TapcoSlate Classic Victorian Hip End Cap is purpose-made for 135° roof geometries. It can maintain watertightness down to 12° pitches when installed correctly.

It offers the authentic look of natural slate but is significantly lighter, more impact-resistant (Class 4 rated), and virtually indestructible, without the fragility and weight of stone.

The product is tested and rated for high wind resistance, capable of withstanding winds up to 110 mph.

While designed for easier installation, professional roofing knowledge is recommended for complex roof geometries like Victorian hips to ensure a secure, weather-tight finish. Follow all manufacturer guidelines.

TapcoSlate Classic Hip End Caps come with a 40-year manufacturer warranty, automatically applied upon delivery.

This specific product is designed for the 135° angle characteristic of Victorian hip roofs. For standard hip roofs with different angles, other TapcoSlate products may be more appropriate.

Verify the roof hip angle is exactly 135°. Ensure no obstructions are present on the hip rafter. Re-check cutting accuracy against pre-marked guides.

Inspect the mechanical fixings to ensure they are secure and properly installed according to manufacturer specifications. Check for any gaps or damage to the end cap or adjacent roofing material.

While the product has UV inhibitors, extreme prolonged exposure in certain environments could affect appearance. Contact the manufacturer if significant degradation is observed, referencing the 40-year warranty.
