SUPERIOR

Ridge Vent Systems

Handmade in the U.S.A.

SUPER RIDGE Series

Installation instructions

1. Make sure ridge line has a 3" slot, 1 1/2" each side of ridge

centerline. For ridge lines not prepared for Superior Ridge

vents cut slot with a circular saw and clean out debris. Set

saw depth to not cut the roof rafters. Stop the slot 12" short

of any ridge end, intersecting ridge or obstruction.

To create an end cap for a Super Ridge vent:

Fig. 1. A strip is removed from each lower corrugated layers

to create a flap. Fig. 2. The flap is then folded over the side

edges of the lower layers to provide an end cap. Center first

vent piece on the ridge, 1/2" from end of roof.

3. Continue applying Super Ridge Series vents, working from

the ends. Align center with previous pieces, making sure vent

matches roof pitch until entire ridge is covered.

4. Center shingle cap on vent and nail. Nail line for cap

shingles is to be 2" – 2 1/2" up from edge. Continue nailing

until all vent is covered with ridge cap.

Easy Installation: One person can easily install the 4 ft. ridge vent sections. All you need is a circular saw,

chalk line, hammer, utility knife and tape measure. Installation is for a standard gable roof application:

To install the optional wind deflectors, slide the deflector between the ridge vent and shingle until the ends are flush with

the edge of the vent. A 1 in. wide gap should remain between the edge of the vent and the wind deflector to allow air to flow

freely. Drive galvanized roofing nails through the wind deflector and roof sheathing at points 2 inches from each end and at

12” centers. Butt adjacent pieces together along the length of the ridge.

Figure 1 To create an end cap for a Super Ridge vent: Figure 2 Fig. 2. A longitudinal strip is removed from each lower corrugated layers adjacent side edge to create a flap from the extending portion of the upper sheet of corrugated mterial. Fig. 3. The flap is then folded over the side edges of the lower corrugated layers to provide an end cap from the ridge of a roof. Nail end to roof to complete seal and end cap.
