3. Vent Placement on Ridge
Attach vent to the roof deck by driving a nail in
each of the two corners on both ends of the vent.
Also, drive two nails through the vent and foam
end cap to hold foam in place on the ends of
the ridge only. Nails should penetrate the wood
roof deck at least
3⁄4”
. It is not recommended to
nail vent to ridge prior to cap shingle installation.
Because of the popularity of dimensional
roofing material such as the newer 40/50 year
and lifetime laminated shingles, we require
that a bead of sealant be applied to the roof
shingles before installing the vent on the ridge.
This sealant should fill any voids between the
bottom of the vent and the surface of the shingle.
Use either butyl sealant conforming to ASTM C1085,
latex sealant conforming to ASTM C834, silicone
sealant complying with ASTM C920 or asphalt
roofing cement complying with ASTM D4586.
Roll out or place Quarrix Ridge Vent along the
entire length of slot also covering the 6” minimum
uncut ridge on both ends. Bend vent into a “V”
Shape. Secure at the lead edge after inserting
the end cap.
Nail should penetrate roof deck a minimum of
3⁄4”
. Pull the vent tight and secure at about 10’. Pull
the rest of the vent tight and secure, inserting the
end cap. Multiple lengths of vent can be joined
by butting the sections tightly together. End caps
should be inserted at the beginning and end
of each section. Do not pre-fasten ridge vent
along the entire vent; with Quarrix Ridge Vent’s
One-Pass™ Installation, it is not necessary to
pre-fasten the vent every 2’ to 3’ prior to cap
shingle installation.
