6.2.3 Apply a bead of polyurethane roof sealant to the underside of the entire perimeter of the vent and nail
with min. 2%-inch galvanized roofing nails at each corner and 10-inch o.c. Do not use excessive roof
cement,as it may result in shingle blistering.
6.2.4 Apply a bead of polyurethane roof sealant in the shape of a"C"to the underside of the entire perimeter of
the cap shingles, and install cap shingles directly over the vent using Smart NaiISTM or 1%-inch corrosion
resistant coil nails(supplied with the vent). Figure C. Do not use excessive roof cement,as it may result in
shingle blistering.
6.2.5 Cobra® Exhaust Vent (hand nail version) and Cobra® Exhaust Vent (nail gun version) have a %-inch or 5/8-

6.3.2 Sealant: Apply a bead of silicone caulking or roof cement to the underside of the outer baffle along both
edges and at exposed ends,ensuring the outside edges where the vent meets the shingles are sealed with
the caulk or flashing cement.
6.3.3 Vent Placement: Starting at one end of the slot,place,center and conform the Cobra®rigid vent over the
slot with the vent firmly against the roof surface,ensuring the vent extends past the slot opening by at
least 6-inch.
6.3.4 Fasteners: For Cobra® Rigid Vent 3T'",Cobra®Rigid Vent 3 T-9",Cobra"Snow Country Advanced'"and
Cobra®Snow Country Advanced TM-9"only, use the 3"corrosion resistant ring shank nails(included). For
Cobra®Snow CountryTM,use corrosion resistant nails at least 13/-inch or longer. Nails must always
penetrate through plywood decks or at least 3/-inch into wood planks. NOTE:GAF recommends 3-inch
corrosion resistant ring shank nails for increased uplift resistance.
6.3.5 Spacing: Attach the vent section through the pre-molded nailing holes located at 3, 12,24,36 and 45-inch
from the start of each 48-inch vent piece.
6.3.6 Joints: Apply the subsequent Cobra®rigid vent sections over the length of the ridge using the
overlap/underlap tabs.
6.3.7 Ridge Shingles: Install ridge shingles in accordance with shingle manufacturer's published installation
instructions, using corrosion resistant nails detailed in 6.3.4. A nail line is inscribed on top of the Cobra®
rigid vent to serve as a guide.
6.4 COBRA®RIDGE RUNNER®
6.4.1 Cut slot per 6.3.1.
6.4.2 Tear a 1-foot section to be used as a template for laying the vent out(Figure E-G)and center the template/
locator over the ridge cap shingles at the beginning of the vent slot. Note the location of the baffle(Figure
H). Make sure to do this at both ends of the installation.
. ply.
6.4.3 Measure the distance from the edge of the roof slot to the exterior baffle (D). Establish a chalk line along
one side of the ridge (Figure 1). Unroll the vent and use the included 1-3/4-inch pneumatic corrosion
resistant roofing nails to attach the first side of the ridge vent with the exterior of the baffle aligned with
the chalk line (Figure J). Proceed with using the 1' interval EasyTearTM system to custom size the vent to
the appropriate length. If the EasyTear'M system can not be utilized, use a utility knife to size the vent. Nail
gun targets are embossed on the part as a guide for property attaching vent to the roof.The vent should
be fastened on 6-inch centers(Figure K).

6.4.4 NOTE: When fastening the vent and cap shingles, be sure that the included 1 3/4-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 TRUSLATE11 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).

6.5.5 Place the TruSlate® Ridge Vent over the ridge slot, "peaked" and centered over the ridge slot, and attach
using minimum 3-inch long corrosion resistant ring-shank nails through the pre-molded nail holes on the
vent, located 3-inch from the ends and 9-inch o.c. Fasteners shall penetrate through plywood decks or
embed minimum%-inch into wood plank decks.
6.5.6 Continue over the length of the ridge, utilizing the male/female connectors to connect units. Ensure the
finished ends include the pre-molded end caps. Cover all exposed nail heads on the vent with silicone
caulk. Intall a bead of exterior grade silicone sealant at the downslope leading edges of the ridge vent, at
the junction of the leading edge and the leak-barrier below.
6.5.7 Install the top course of TruSlate® field slates, UnderBlockTM UV & Moisture Barrier and TruSlate® trim
slates in accordance with GAF published installation instructions. Intall TruSlate®trim slates with 10-inch
exposure using minimum 1-5/8-inch long deck screws through pre-drilled holes,through the ridge vent to
engage the wood deck.
