The Simpson site shows them oriented with the two prongs up and single prong down on a vertical wall. Would one orient them the same on a 6/12 roof, or doesn’t it matter?
TIA

I don't really think it makes any difference.
Q: What do you call it when a blonde drives down the street with her head out the window?
A: Refueling.
Watch out for those clips on an asphalt roof! I saw a case where several of the clips caused leaks when they wore through the shingles. This was a roof with architectural asphalt shingles, no felt and 1/2 OSB supported by 24" o.c. rafters with clips in between.

Approximately how old were the shingles? I bet the no felt thing was a major contributing factor too. Matt
As I recall, the roof was about 7 years old. The problem ocurred on a lower porch roof that got some foot traffic. I'm sure the lack of felt had something to do with it. Just one more reason not to skip the felt.
