Attaching the Vent
Starting with the male end, place the
first vent on the ridge, making sure
the center of the vent aligns with
the center of the ridge slot. (For best
appearance, place the vent 1/2" in
from the end of the gable end.) A
chalk line can be used to assist in the
alignment.
Nail or screw one side of the vent to
the roof every 8" through nail holes.
Attach the other side of the vent,
making sure the vent lies flat on the
roof.
Align the next piece, slide and lock
into place, then nail. Make sure the
vent aligns with the center of the
ridge. Install additional pieces in the
same manner.
Cut the final section of the vent to
the required length. Make sure to
position and seal an end plug as
desired for a starter piece. Nail into
place.
NOTE: Ridge can be modified to
be used in vertical and peak roof
applications.
