HOW PRO-MASTER HIGHPOINT SERIES 5 & 7 RIDGE VENTS WORK: Pro-Master Highpoint Series 5 and Series 7 Ridge Vents enable attic air to exit which reduces heat and moisture build-up. This helps the shingles last longer and make insulation more effective. They also help reduce energy costs. Pro-Master Highpoint Vents are designed to withstand extreme temperature variations and structural loads.

When installing Pro-Master Highpoint Vents, all other vent openings (except soffits) should be closed off. The slot cut in the roof ridge should only be cut no closer than twelve (12) inches from any junction point such as intersecting roof ridge, chimney, gable or other obstruction. Install vent over entire length of ridge. Roof pitch 3/12 (14 slope min) to 12/12 (45 max). All nails should be ring shank roofing nails to provide maximum pull out resistance against wind uplift. Do not overdrive fasteners. Step 1: Remove ridge cap shingles from the entire length of the ridge. NOTE: Delete Step 1 for new construction. Step 2 for Series 5: Snap chalk line on both sides of the ridge and no more than.750 (3/4) of an inch from the peak. Step 2 for Series 7: Snap chalk line on both sides of the ridge and no more than.375 (3/8) of an inch from the peak. Step 3: Cut along both chalk lines. NOTE: Slot should not be cut any closer than within twelve (12) inches of gable end, hip or intersecting ridge. Step 5: Nail each additional section in the same manner until entire ridge is covered. A second chalk line may be utilized to ensure vent alignment. Cut last piece to length and install with original uncut end to the outside. Be sure to position closure tabs at the end of the ridge. Step 7: Ridge-to-ridge application requires a miter-cut to maintain continuous ridge line appearance. Step 4: For appearance (to blend with the roof line), it is recommended that the Highpoint vent be installed the entire length of the ridge. Position the first piece at one end of the ridge. For Series 5: Using 2-1/2" ring shank roofing nails, for 3/4" roof penetration or penetration through the deck, whichever is less, anchor vent through preformed nail holes.for Series 7: Using 1-3/4" ring shank roofing nails, anchor vent. The closure tabs must be positioned at the end of the ridge. Step 6: For Series 5: Install new ridge cap in normal manner, using 2-1/2" ring shank roofing nails, for 3/4" deck penetration or penetration through the deck, whichever is less. For Series 7: Install new ridge cap in normal manner, using 1-3/4" ring shank roofing nails. For Both Series: Nailing the ridge caps through the vent along the nailing line will secure the vent. Shingles may need to be trimmed. Step 8: Ridge-to-roof application requires a miter-cut to maintain continuous ridge line appearance. Covered by U.S. patents #4903445 #5070771 Meets or exceeds requirements of FHA, ICBO, SBCCI and BOCA.

HOW PRO-MASTER RIDGE VENT WORKS: Pro-Master Ridge Vent Enabling Attic Air to Exit Cap Shingle Pro-Master Ridge Vent Shingles Roof Sheathing Moist, Hot Attic Air Cool, Fresh Air Enters Through Soffit Vents PRO-MASTER RIDGE VENT INSTALLATION: 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 Along Ridge Cut the slots along the ridge to within 12 inches of each side of the obstruction. Install Pro-Master Ridge Vent along the ridge, butting up against the obstruction. T and L Style Roofs Cut slots along the ridge to within 12 inches of each side of the ridge intersections. 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.

FASCIA & SOFFIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1 2 3 4 Fascia For Installations Without Soffit 1) Nail undersill trim or drip edge in place along the top of the fascia board. 2) Hook the bottom of the fascia panel under the bottom of the fascia board. Push the top edge into the undersill trim (as shown in illustration 1), or behind drip edge. 3) Secure the panel to the bottom of the fascia board with painted aluminum trim nails. Always nail underside of fascia as shown. Never face nail fascia. *Keep nails lined up with soffit V-grooves for best appearance. Nail every 24", but do not nail too tight. Nails should penetrate a minimum of 3/4" into nailing surface. Pre-drilling hole slightly larger than nail diameter is recommended. 4) When overlapping fascia panels, first cut a notch in the underlying panel. The notch should be 1-1/2" long. Slip the notched panel into the adjacent panel (see illus. 2). 5) For Outside Corner Fascia: Bend a 1" flange on the first fascia piece, 90 degrees around the corner. Cut overlapping fascia at 45 degree angle. Nail with painted aluminum trim nails (see illus. 3). Inside Corner Fascia: Use the same technique that was used for the outside corner fascia, but bend in the opposite direction to form an inside corner shape. Face nailing can result in a wavy or buckled appearance during thermal expansion and contraction cycles. Always use a drip edge, gutter, or all-purpose trim to receive cut top edge of fascia. This provides a neat appearance and protects the substrate material from moisture. For Installations That Include Soffit Complete step 1 from above. The fascia panel may need to be rip cut to fit over the fascia board and secure soffit. To determine width of the panel, measure from slot in undersill trim to bottom of F-channel or soffit face. Deduct 1/4" and cut (illus. 4). OPTIONAL: Use a snap lock punch to create tabs 1/8" below cut edge. Punch tabs every 6", with tab raised on outside face of panel. Install the panel by hooking the bottom of the fascia panel under the F-channel and pushing the top into the undersill trim or drip edge (shown in illus. 4). Follow steps 3, 4, 5 above to complete installation. 5a 5c 6 7 Soffit 5b Installations Over Open Eaves 1) Install receiving channels (F-receiver or J-channel). There are several ways to install receiving channels for soffit. You can use accessories such as F- receiver or J-channel. Select a method that works most effectively with the construction techniques used to create the eave. 5d Examine the layouts 5a through 5d in the illustration to the left and find the one that most closely resembles the construction methods used on your particular project. Recommended nailing for soffit is 16" o.c.; however, if the eave span is 24" or more, you must install nailing strips as shown in the last illustration 5d. In areas with high wind or in a location that s over 20 ft. above ground, do not exceed 12" on center. Install the receiving channels following the details shown in illus. 5a-d. Nail channels every 16". 2) Measure from the wall to the fascia board. Then subtract 1/4" - 3/8" to allow for expansion. Once a soffit panel is face nailed, it will expand only in one direction. Be sure to leave space for the full expansion allowance in the receiving allowance. 3) Insert the panel into the channel on the wall, then into the panel at the fascia board. You may have to flex the panel slightly to insert it into the second channel. Make certain the panel is perpendicular to wall, then nail. Depending on the installation method you re using, you ll nail either to a nailing strip or to the fascia board. If you re nailing to the fascia board, use small-headed nails. Drive nail through the nail flange and v groove. This is one of the rare instances face nailing is permissible. (See illustration 6) If your using a nail strip, do not nail tightly - allow movement for expansion. Continue installation by locking and nailing panels. Make certain panels are fully locked along their entire length. 4) To turn a corner, measure from channel at wall corner to channel at corner of fascia board. Subtract 1/4" for expansion. Cut and install H-divide bar. If necessary, install nailing strips to provide backing for the lineal (shown in illus. 7). Miter the corner soffit panels and install as described in step 3. 5) To complete the installation, apply utility trim and fasten aluminum fascia cap with painted aluminum trim nails. If you must face nail fascia, drill holes for trim nails to allow for expansion and reduce denting of aluminum. Face nails are best positioned below the rolled brad in the shadowline. Use a nail punch to avoid hammer face contact with fascia. 2007 Berger TM BERGER BUILDING PRODUCTS, INC. 805 Pennsylvania Blvd. Feasterville, PA 19053 (800) 523-8852 (215) 355-1200 Fax: (215) 355-7738 www.bergerbros.com
