Application Instructions for

COOLRIDGE

SECTIONAL RIDGE VENT

1.Cut a slot in plywood

along roof ridge 2" wide

(1" on each side). If ridge

beam is present, cut slot

1" wide on each side of

ridge beam. Allow for a

closed area of sheath-

ing 12" at both ends of

ridge.

2.Place first piece of

vent with female end 1"

in from gable end and

use centering line for

proper alignment along

peak. Fasten using at

least two nails at each

end and in the middle

of section in nail line

area (2-1/2" minimum

nail length). More may

be required on steeper

slopes to seat properly.

Continue installing addi-

tional pieces along ridge

sliding female end over male end, aligning using centering line.

NOTE: In cold weather, allow 1/8" gap between vent sections for

expansion.

3.When reaching the

other end, the last vent

section may need to be

cut to length. End plugs

are provided every 12"

on underside of the prod-

uct. Measure amount

needed to install to within

1" of gable end. Cut that

length in from end of vent

section and ip around

so that end plug is at

gable end. Allow male

tab from previous piece

to slide under last piece

and nail in place.

4.Place rst cap shin-

gle over vent so that it

overhangs at least 1"

over end of vent sec-

tion. Install with 2-1/2"

nails in nail line area

as you work your way

down the roof. Cut last

cap shingle so that it

overhangs vent 1" at

other gable end.

HELPFUL HINTS

Optionally, you may install cap shingles on each piece as you go along,

taking care to assure proper alignment.

If installing on dimensional or architectural shingles on new construc-

tion, leave felt underlayment about 6" long at roof ridge and fold back

under the vent so that vent is essentially installed on top of felt over the

shingles. If re-roong, caulk between low areas of shingle and bafe of

vent after installation.

Lines across top of product indicate where the end plugs are on the un-

derside (every 12"). There is no need to ip the last piece if you measure

and plan ahead to install on an even foot increment.

The nail line area is completely free from obstructions except where

the end plugs are (unlike other sectional ridge vents that can have

nails deect off of supports). By using the end plug indicators on top of

product, you can easily avoid nails through the end plugs.

NOTICE: This product must be applied in conformance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
