Truss Roofs (No Ridge Boards)
Plywood sheathing on truss roofs can be laid 1" short
on one side at ridge or you may leave 1/2" air opening
on each side of center for a 1" total air opening. Any
larger sized opening will not improve ventilation.
REMEMBER: Baffles must always be in complete
contact with flat surface and not overlap slot.

NOTE:
RidgeMaster Plus 9"
and HipMaster 9" use
the same specifications as
RidgeMaster Plus and
HipMaster with the excep-
tion of accepting 9" cap
shingles instead of 11".
Cuts should be made to expose a 1/2" air opening
between sheathing and each side of ridge pole. Any
larger sized opening will not improve ventilation.
