Rolled Ridge Vent

CertainTeed Rolled Ridge Vent is a flexible, filtered ridge exhaust vent supplied in rolls. An external wind baffle deflects wind and weather over the vent and creates low pressure above it, pulling air out of the attic. Cap shingles are installed over the top of the vent.

Each linear foot of vent has 12 square inches of net free area. The overall vent length is 28 feet, which gives 336 square inches of net free area per roll. The vent accommodates roof pitches from 3/12 to 12/12. Two rolls of coil nails are included in the carton.

The vent is furnished in black. Its features and specified construction are as follows.

• External baffle that deflects wind and weather over the vent.
• Internal weather filter that reduces infiltration of windblown snow, rain and dust.
• Built-in ventilating, weather tight end plug that flexes for different roof pitches and protects the roof decking.
• Weep holes on 4 inch centers for water shedding from the cap shingles.
• At least two pre-formed nail bosses per 12 inches of length for positioning the vent before cap shingling.
• A sinusoidal end for joining multiple sections by overmolding to complete the overall vent length.
• Integral ribbing that maintains the vent profile on various roof pitches and during cap shingling.
• Openings no wider than 1/4 inch, sized to keep insects out of the attic.

Rolled Ridge Vent is made in filtered and unfiltered versions. Both are 3/4 inch high, supplied in 28 foot rolls and rated at 12 square inches of net free area per linear foot. The filtered version has an internal weather filter against rain, snow, dust and insects. The unfiltered version relies on external baffles. The vent is CSA approved, and it can be capped with 12 inch ridge shingles. It is designed to be used with CertainTeed Intake Vent.

The vent carries an approval report with the Texas Department of Insurance. It is capable of having cap shingles fastened with a nail gun set to 100 PSI without breakage, and of installation in various climate zones across the US and Canada.

It is covered by a Lifetime Limited Warranty and 5-Year SureStart Protection.

Rolled Ridge Vent runs continuously along the upper ridge, with cap shingles over it. Because it is supplied in 28 foot rolls, it follows the ridge line in asphalt shingle roofing rather than being set as separate rigid sections.
