Wolverine Siding and Vinyl Carpentry Soffit and Decorative Trim - Manual (Page 91)

If you require an odd number of courses (i.e. five full courses
plus starting course), subtract 8" from the distance from the
plumb line to the left receiving pocket (remember to allow 1/4"
for expansion).
If you require an even number of courses (i.e. 6 full courses
plus starting course), subtract 18-1/2" from the dimension.
NOTE: The 8" and 18-1/2" dimensions ensure having a full
centered scallop at the topmost part of the gable.
For example: If the measurement required to the plumb line
(minus 8" for an odd number of full courses) is 152", then
152"÷ 32" = 4 full panels plus 0.75% of one panel or 24"
measured from the edge of the texture on the right side
(temperature indicator side).
Create a cutting guide as described earlier for gable
applications and trim first panel (for this example) at 24".
Continue to hang the remaining starter course strips,
remembering to center nail first.
Installing first full panel
It is important to stagger the panels, as described in this
section. The easiest way to determine the length of panel
required is to measure from the alignment line on the nail
flange of the starter panel to the edge of the roof slope (see
illustration).
Using this measurement, drill a hole centered in the remaining
nail flange as described earlier. Lock the first full exposure
panel to the starter course after trimming for roof slope.
After locking panel in place, center pin the panel.
Lapping remaining panels
The remaining panels to be installed must be lapped in
accordance with the current temperature.
Repeat this process for the entire course.
At the end of each course, trim panels to the gable angle. Be
sure to allow for expansion at the J-channels.
Installing the last round
When you reach the peak, trim the last round to the desired
height by removing the locks. Then face nail to the substrate,
using a color-matched finishing nail.
