Hip Ventilation
Hip Vents
Over the past 25–30 years,  
the changing architecture  
and design of homes in North 
America has, in some cases, 
made ridge venting impractical. 
Hip vents install and look similar 
to typical ridge vents but provide 
an exhaust venting alternative  
on the hip areas of the roof.

on roofs with little or no ridge area

cap shingle installation; includes 3 coils of 1¾" nails
