INSTALLATION GUIDE
Step 1.
Cut a slot in sheathing along the ridge 2” (5 cm) wide 1” (2.5 cm)
on each side of peak).
If ridge beam is present, cut a slot 1” (2.5 cm) wide on each side of the
beam. A closed area of sheathing 12” (30.5 cm) in length should be at
both ends of ridge. The 12” (30.5cm) area should be coverd to prevent
inltration.
Step 2.
For step 2 it is recommended a chalk line be used to ensure the ridge
vent is installed straight along the roof peak.
Place the rst piece of vent with female end 1/2” (1.3 cm) from the
gable end. On one side of the peak fasten the rst piece using nails at
each end and in middle sections. Fold the vent over the peak and
fasten the second side using the same nail pattern. (2” (5 cm) nails are
minimum length). Continue installing additional pieces along
ridge connecting the female end over the male end.
Step 3.
When reaching the ridge end, the last vent section may need to
be cut to length. There are molded-in end caps every 3” (7.6 cm) on the
underside of the ridge vent. Measure and cut amount needed to
install to within 1/2” (1.3 cm) of ridge end.
After fastening the ridge vent to the roof peak install ridge caps
using a min 2” (5 cm) nail. The ridge caps should be centered on the
vent and sit between the outer raised bae walls.
