1 HOW PRO-MSTER RIDGE VENT WORKS: Pro-Master Ridge Vent Enabling ttic ir to Exit Cap Shingle Pro-Master Ridge Vent Shingles Roof Sheathing Moist, Hot ttic ir Cool, Fresh ir Enters Through Soffit Vents PRO-MSTER RIDGE VENT INSTLLTION: 1. Remove ridge cap shingles along entire length of ridge. 2. a) Measure 1 from ridge peak on each side of ridge. For ridge board construction measure 1-1/2 on each side of ridge. b) Snap chalk line along entire length of ridge. c) Leave a minimum of 12 of sheathing closed at each end of ridge. d) Cut opening in sheathing along ridge. DO NOT CUT through roof trusses or ridge board. e) Remove sheathing to create slot. 3. Tack one end of the Pro-Master Ridge Vent (netting side down) over the slot to hold in place at one end of the ridge. Unroll entire length of vent, pull to remove sags and tack in place so vent is snug and centered over slot. If more than one piece of Ridge Vent is needed, simply butt the multiple pieces together and tack in place with a nail. Cover the entire length of the ridge with vent, including the minimum 12 of unslotted ridge. 4. Install ridge cap shingles directly over Pro-Master Ridge Vent. Fasten shingle and Ridge Vent to roof using galvanized roofing nails supplied with the ridge vent. Please follow power nailing and safety instructions enclosed with coil nails or use hand nails provided. To obtain a uniform look and prevent shingle damage, do NOT drive nails through shingle. Note: This product has a net free ventilation area of 15.2 square inches per linear foot. To operate properly, there must be equal or greater soffit ventilation than ridge ventilation. Installation Tips Hip Roof Installation Cut the slot along the ridge to within 12 inches of the end of the ridge. Install Pro-Master Ridge Vent along the entire length of the ridge. Do not cut slots or install Ridge Vent along the hips of the roof. Obstruction long Ridge Cut the slots along the ridge to within 12 inches of each side of the obstruction.

First install Pro-Master Ridge Vent along the entire long run of the ridge. Then install it along the short run of the ridge so the ridge vent butts up against the Pro-Master Ridge Vent already installed on the long run.
