The standard roof hatch comes with cap flashing and 1\u201d thick rigid fiber board insulation along the curb of the hatch. For this installation, the customer removed the curb insulation from the hatch and bolted the hatch down to the roof. They wanted the most economical roof hatch solution that had a low profile to match the roof slope. Ordinarily we would suggest using a pitch corrected roof hatch on slopes greater than 3\/12, but the infrequent use and need for a low profile roof hatch was more important to the customer than the advantages of the pitch corrected roof hatch. Below are some pros and cons of each setup to help you decide which solution is best for your situation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_214\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/pc3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-214\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/pc3-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Open roof hatch showing clearances on a sloped roof\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/pc3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/pc3.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-214\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Open roof hatch showing clearances on a sloped roof<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_213\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/pc2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-213\" class=\"wp-image-213 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/pc2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Economy series hatch installed on a shingled, sloped roof\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/pc2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/pc2.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-213\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Economy series hatch installed on a shingled, sloped roof<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Standard roof hatch on a pitched roof pros:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Low cost<\/li>\n<li>Standard sizes most likely in stock for immediate shipment<\/li>\n<li>Low profile on roof<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Standard roof hatch on a pitched roof cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cannot use roof hatch railing (roof hatch railing may be required by OSHA depending on your site conditions)<\/li>\n<li>Increased strain on hardware \u2013 installation on pitches 4\/12 and greater are not covered by warranty<\/li>\n<li>Decreased opening area due to roof hatch angle (see above\u00a0photos)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_215\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/pc4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-215\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-215\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/pc4-300x136.jpg\" alt=\"Sample pitch correction options for roof hatch curbs mounting on sloped roofs\" width=\"300\" height=\"136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/pc4-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amezz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/pc4.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-215\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sample pitch correction options for roof hatch curbs mounting on sloped roofs<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Pitch corrected hatch on a pitched roof pros:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Larger opening for exiting on a pitched roof<\/li>\n<li>Less strain on the hardware<\/li>\n<li>Roof hatch railing can be installed on pitch corrected curbs<\/li>\n<li>Needed for warranty coverage on pitches of 4\/12 and greater<\/li>\n<li>Required for larger roof hatches on pitched roofs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pitch corrected roof hatch on a pitched roof cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Slightly increased cost (made to order)<\/li>\n<li>Increased lead time (made to order)<\/li>\n<li>Taller curb on low end of roof may be more visible from ground level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using the pitch corrected hatch for your pitched roofs over 3\/12 gives\u00a0you the standard manufacturer\u2019s\u00a0 warranty and can give you a larger opening to go through, but ultimately it comes down to your specific needs and what is most important for you.
