Step 4. Vent Placement on Hip
Install a minimum of two Hip & Ridge
shingles at the bottom of the hip. If the
VentSure
®
rigid roll ridge vent with
Weather PROtector
®
moisture barrier is
not being run the entire length of the
hip, the vent should overlap a minimum
of two Hip & Ridge shingles at the end
of the vent. Before installing the vent on
the hip, lay a bead of sealant on each
side of the pre-cut slots. This will create
a seal on the step created by
overlapping pattern of the shingles. The
bead of sealant should be applied
approximately 1" from the edge of the
pre-cut slot.
Step 5. Hip and Ridge Vent Transition
Using a utility knife, trim the end of
VentSure
®
rigid roll ridge vent with
Weather PROtector
®
moisture barrier
from the hip to the ridge. This creates
the most attractive ridge and hip line.
Insert the foam end cap under the
VentSure
®
rigid roll ridge vent with
Weather PROtector
®
moisture barrier
where it is at full width. Fasten vent for
hip at point where it meets ridge. Roll
out or place the vent all of the way down
the hip, covering two pre-laid cap
shingles at the bottom of the hip. Go
back over hip vents and fasten at 4"
intervals.
lf the VentSure
®
rigid roll ridge vent with
Weather PROtector
®
moisture barrier is
not being run the entire length of the
hip, use the cap shingles to create a
transition. Use sealant to fill any void left
between the shingles and the remaining
top layer of the vent. Be sure to apply
roofing sealant to any spaces left by
cap shingle used for transition. If two or
more sections of VentSure
®
rigid roll
ridge vent with Weather PROtector
®
moisture barrier are being joined
together, an end cap MUST be installed
into each end of the joining sections.
(See Fig. 3 for end cap installation).
Repeat on all hips.
Step 6. Cap Shingle Installation
Apply the Hip and Ridge shingles to the
hip and then to the ridge. Nail hip and
ridge shingles with roofing nails in a
common overlapping pattern. All
fasteners must be driven flush with the
shingle surface and penetrate at least
¾" in to the wood deck, where the deck
is less than ¾" thick the fastener should
be long enough to penetrate fully and
extend at least
1
∕
8
" through the roof
deck. It is important when installing this
vent that you maintain the pitch of the
roof. The vent has been installed
properly if the bottom of the vent is flat
on the roof and the peak is slightly
rounded.
