And for a roof with a slope of 6 12 that number 1 118 is your roof slope multiplier.
Roof multi plier.
The maths behind this number is that it is the square root of rise run 2 1.
And that s the number you were looking for.
Now solving for c in the equation above gives.
For roof slopes expressed as x in 12 rise in run the roof pitch multiplier is determined by finding the square root of rise run 1.
Take the area of the roof s footprint say it s 5 000 square feet and multiply 5 000 by 1 118.
A roof pitch multiplier also called a roof pitch factor is a number that is multiplied by the area covered by a sloped roof to produce the area of the actual surface of the roof.
But is a big help and save a lot of time because you realy have the tool what you need especial when you aré on the roof on steep leader u ser a kitchen sink etc etc sorry for my english.
The roof pitch multiplier is responsible for giving an accurate pitch measurement of the roof.
Gerber mp600 multi plier needle nose black 47550 4 6 out of 5 stars 1 200.
The formula for the roof pitch multiplier comes from the famous pythagorean theorem.
A 2 b 2 c 2 where a is the rise of the roof b is the run of the roof and c is the rafter hypotenuse of the triangle with side lengths a and b.
