If there is a transition flashing, that should be okay. If there is no transition flashing, I would suggest having a transition flashing. All Best.

That is minimal on the ridge but if it is a well designed part it is feasible. Would be nice to see it bigger though.

My home addition has a gambrel roof. The side of the roof is a 24/12 pitch, the top part is 6/12. So the water will run from the 6/12 onto the 24/12 before going into the gutter. I have a 3"x3" transition flashing for the hip. My concern is that my metal panels for the top section (6/12) only overlap the 24/12 side by about 1". Will this be sufficient? If I didn't explain it well, please look at the attached drawing. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for easing my mind. I do have the transition and will use them, i just wanted to make sure the overhang was sufficient. I was kicking myself thinking I'd have to buy 14 more panels just because I needed them one inch longer!

I have one more question which applies to this. Will it be safe for the ridgecap to cover only an inch, inch and half of the metal panel? I am using the ventilated ridgecap.

That's what I'm afraid off. I didn't provide the proper measurement and got my sheets too short. I'll just bite the bullet and reorder that section. Looks like I got some extra metal for a shed or something.
