6.4.4 NOTE: When fastening the vent and cap shingles, be sure that the included 13/4-inch corrosion resistant
coil nails completely penetrate plywood or provide at least 3/4-inch penetration into wood planks. In the
case they do not, you must use alternate corrosion resistant nails that provide the required penetration.
Proceed with attaching the other side of the vent. When beginning to nail down the second side, do NOT
begin at the end; begin between the first and second one -foot sections and then return to fasten the first
one -foot section. This will allow for proper fit.
6.4.5 Install ridge shingles in accordance with shingle manufacturer's published installation instructions, using
the nail -lines on top of the ridge vent for proper lapping.
6.5 TRUSLATE® RIDGE VENT:
6.5.1 DO NOT use on hips.
6.5.2 Intall TruSlate® Ridge Vent before installing the field slates.
6.5.3 After determining the total length of TruSlate® Ridge Vent required (for proper ventilation), determine the
necessary slot opening. Mark -off and cut the slot opening, ensuring the ends of the opening stop at least
6-inch from any end walls and at least 12-inch from hip and ridge intersections or chimneys.
Roofs without a ridge board: Cut a 7/8-inch opening along the ridge on each side (Figure A).
Roofs with a ridge board: Cut a 1-5/8-inch opening along the ridge on each side (Figure B).

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 2% 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.
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: Cobrao 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
