That means there is at least 3 of vertical rise to the roof slope for every 12 it goes back horizontally.
Roof pitch is used to describe the slope or angle of the roof.
Bitumen melting pots and boilers are most commonly used in roofing projects where bitumen is used to create a watertight weatherproof roof coating.
That is a 14 degree angle.
The vertical seams are soldered to hold the pitch or other approved sealant not included.
The pitch pan can be fabricated from metal or plastic.
