INSTALLATION GUIDE
1-First, locate the desired position of the gable vent on wall and
when it’s necessary, cut the required opening. Make sure to
create an opening smaller than the inner wall of the product
base (Figure A).
INSTALLATION STEPS: Images can be different than the actual product.

CAUTION: VERIFY WITH LOCAL CODE OFFICIALS AND THE CURRENT BUILDING CODE IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY
THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE VARIOUS GABLE VENT TYPES BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION.
2-Remove the front cover of the two piece block by pulling out
to unclip it and place the base over the opening. Make sure the
base is level and square, and the symbol aa that indicates the
“Top/Haut” is in the upward position as per the model below.
Attach the base on wall with a minimum of 6 fasteners. Always
use non-corrosive nails or screws that have a head of 0.4”(1cm) in
diameter and a body of 0.150”(0.38cm) in diameter and penetrate
a minimum of 1 1/4”(3.18cm) into a solid surface (Figure B). To
ensure maximum watertight installation, apply sealant between
the wall and the base as needed.
3-Install the siding as per manufacturer’s instructions. Make
sure to leave a 1/4”(0.64cm) gap between the siding and the
base for the siding expansion/contraction movement (Figure C).
4-Attach the front cover onto the base, lining up the symbols on
the two components. In the case of round or octagonal gable
vents, use the guidelines to ensure correct alignment (Figure D).
For the half-round gable vent, insert the bottom of the front part
into the base and close the top over base (Figure E).
5-Attach front cover onto the base ensuring the symbols on the
two components (Figure D) line up. Pressure fit the front base
to the desired depth setting for siding thickness being used.
Three positions are available: 1 1/4’’(3.18cm), 1’’(2.54cm) and
3/4’’(1.91cm). (Figure F)
