6.6 COBRA®HIP VENT
6.6.1 The roof deck shall consist of minimum of 7/16 inch thick plywood or OSB wood structural panels. Use
only on roofs with slopes between 3:12 and 12:12. Install only on hips. Do not install Cobra® Hip Vent on
ridges.
6.6.2 Sequencing: If ridge ventilation will be installed, always install the ridge vent to the end of the ridge
before installing Cobra®Hip Vent.
6.6.3 Hip Air Slot: Determine the number of Cobra* Hip Vent sections needed for proper ventilation and the
location for cuts in the roof hip. Cobra*Hip Vent is installed over a 2Y:inch wide slot opening centered on
the hip beginning at 12 inches below the top of the hip and extending 36 inches down the hip for every 4
foot section of Cobra*Hip Vent needed. Leave 12 inches of the hip uncut after each 36 inch opening,and
the lowest opening must stop at the mid-point of the hip and more than 24 inches in from the exterior
warm wall. Wider openings and slots below the midpoint of the hip will not improve ventilation and must
be avoided. Cut away the shingles first with a roofing knife,and then cut the deck with a circular saw. The
saw should be adjusted so that the rafters or trusses are not cut.
Note: The roof decking must be re-nailed to the rafter at the edge closest to the hip to compensate for the
nails removed when the hip slot was cut.

6.6.4 Sealant: Seal all cut-edges of the asphalt shingles to the roof sheathing along all sides of the hip air slot
openings, using a bead of ASTM C920 polyurethane sealant,to prevent water infiltration.
6.6.5 Orientation: Always install Cobra® Hip Vent with the "Towards Peak" arrows on the top surface of the
vent pointing up towards the peak of the roof.
G�
6.6.6 Attachment: Cobra Hip Vent is fastened to the deck starting at the bottom of the hip and then up along
the entire length of the hip (this includes un-cut portions of the hip). Fasten Cobra' Hip Vent to the deck
with the included 1%-inch inch long collated galvanized steel roofing nails, or longer corrosion resistant
roofing fasteners,to achieve penetration through plywood or OSB decks or minimum 3/4-inch embedment
into wood planks. Attach the Cobra® Hip Vent section through the pre-marked 6-inch increment nail
targets.
6.6.7 Joints & Terminations: Apply the subsequent Cobra® Hip Vent sections over the length of the hip using
the overlap/underlap tabs. For roofs with ridge vents, lengths of the hip vent must be butted tightly to
sections of ridge vents and install a 3 inch by 12-inch strip of self-adhering leak barrier over all junctions.
For roofs without ridge vents,sections of hip vent from adjacent hip runs must be mitered together tightly
where they intersect and install a 3 inch by 12-inch strip of self-adhering leak barrier over all junctions.
Refer to GAF published installation instruction for details.
6.6.8 Ridge Shingles: Cobra*Hip Vent is then covered with ridge cap shingles and this entire assembly is nailed
to the sheathing with the included 1%-inch inch long collated galvanized steel roofing nails. Depending on
the field and ridge cap shingles used, longer length corrosion resistant fasteners may be necessary. The
ridge cap shingles are installed per the shingle manufacturer's instructions and Florida Product Approval,
with a minimum of two nails per shingle and a shingle to shingle nail spacing of 8 inches on center or less.
Refer to the shingle manufacturer's Florida Product Approval for ridge cap shingle fastening and sealing
requirements. Do not overdrive the nails or crush/compact the product during installation.

Note: After cutting the air slot, clear all debris blocking access into the attic space. Be sure to flatten attic
insulation near the air slot to allow for proper intake airflow near the air slot. Attic baffles may be used to
help prevent insulation from blocking intake airflow into the attic space.
6.7.3 Install a minimum 18 inch (457mm)wide FBC Approved peel-and-stick leak barrier down to the roof deck.
Align peel-and-stick leak barrier flush to the edge of the roof on top of the drip edge metal. Use a sharp
utility knife to cut the leak barrier, re-opening the 1 inch (25 mm) air slot that was previously cut in the
deck.
6.7.4 Each roll of Cobra® IntakePro'" Rooftop Intake Vent comes with two pieces of end cap fabric.To begin the
vent run, place one piece of end cap fabric overhanging halfway over the rake/gable edge and parallel to
the eave drip edge. Fasten the fabric to the roof deck using two roofing nails, one high and one low. If
necessary,a piece of FBC Approved peel-and-stick leak barrier can be used in lieu of end cap fabric.
6.7.5 With the pre-marked dotted nail line and GAF logo facing up toward the sky, position the vent on top of
the fabric end cap and flush to the rake/gable edge and eave drip edge. The front venting face of the vent
should be flush with the drip edge metal below. Using the included 1-3/4 inch (44 mm) pneumatic coil
nails, fasten the vent every 6 inches (152 mm) along the pre-marked nail line and fasten every 12 inches
(305 mm), approximately 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) down from the up-slope edge of the vent. Do NOT nail
within 1 inch (25 mm)from the side,top,or bottom edges of the vent.
6.7.6 Continue installing vent toward the opposite gable/rake edge or termination point. When installing
multiple rolls,adjoin the rolls by butting them tightly together. There should be no gap between adjoining
sections. The vent must always extend a minimum of 12 inches(305 mm) past any air slots. Miter cut the
vent at any valley and hip intersections, ensuring the vent sections are butted tightly together. For
terminations at gable and rake edges, cover the end of the vent run using the included fabric end cap in
the same manner as the start of the vent run.
6.7.7 Install FBC Approved peel-and-stick leak barrier completely covering the top of the vent and extending
from the eave edge to a minimum of 24 inches (610 mm) in from the building's warm wall. The leak
barrier should not overhang the vent. Install rake drip edge if necessary.
