Note: Delete Step 1 for new construction. Nail each additional section in the same manner until entire ridge is covered. A chalk line may be utilized to ensure vent alignment. Cut last piece to length and install with original uncut end to the outside. Install new ridge cap in normal manner, using 2-1/2” roong nails, for 3/4” deck penetration or penetration through the deck, whichever is less. Nailing the ridge caps through the vent along the nailing line will secure the vent. Shingles may need to be trimmed. Ridge-to-ridge application requires a mitre-cut to maintain continuous ridge line appearance. Ridge-to-roof application requires a mitre-cut to maintain continuous ridge line appearance. Snap chalk line on both sides of the ridge and no more than .750 (3/4) of an inch from the peak. Note: If a ridgepole is present, cut a wider gap to allow a minimum of 1/2” air gap on both sides of the pole into the attic space - but do not remove more than 2-1/4” of roof sheathing material from either side of the ridge. Cut along chalk lines. Remove roof sheathing. Note: Slot should not be cut any closer than within twelve (12) inches of gable end, hip intersecting ridge. For appearance (to blend with the roof line), it is recommended that the TruRidge® vent be installed the entire length of the ridge. Position the rst piece at one end of the ridge. Using 2-1/2” nails, for 3/4” deck penetration or penetration through the deck, which ever is less, anchor vent through preformed nail holes. Application and installation procedures are beyond the control of the seller or manufacturer.
