INSTALLATION
IS EASY— it’s all in the box! Each carton
contains six 4-foot pieces (24 lineal ft.) of Roof-2-Wall Vent, a
25-foot long x 14-inch wide roll of flashing, one bag of 2 1 /2"
nails and four EC-400 Roof-2-Wall end caps.
Installation Instructions
One person can easily install the handy four-foot Roof-2-Wall
sections. All you need is a hammer, circular saw, chalk
line, utility knife,
tape measure and a caulking gun. These instructions are
typical for a standard shingle roof application
or call our technical dept. for advice on your specialized
application, or send us a print and we’ll “mark
up” where and how to vent it.
Step 1: Start by cutting 1" wide clear slot
in roof deck at or near the top. Stop slot no less
than 6" from the ends of the roof section to
be ventilated.
Step 2: Apply 3/8" bead of
flexible caulk (NOT roofing cement) beneath Roof-2-Wall™ Vent
pcs. and nail down with 2 1 /2" nails
provided*. Run vent at least 6" past slot in
decking and close off ends with EC-400 Roof-2-Wall
End Caps provided. Use a flexible caulk to seal all
seams, then run another 3 /8" bead of flexible
caulk along the top of all vent pcs.
Step 3: Use Roof-2-Wall flashing provided to cover
vent, up onto wall. Nail flashing securely
to the wall and overlap flashing with housewrap or
felt paper/water-proof membrane.
Step 4: Cap or cover Roof-2-Wall assembly with shingle
tabs or heavy-gauge/decorative metal cap. Be sure
to caulk all ends and joints to ensure a water-tight
installation.
A minimum 3/12 roof pitch is required for Roof-2-Wall application.
NOTE:
Installer is responsible for sealing
ends of vent for each specific application.
Due to the wide variety of material
choices and possible installation options,
it is the installer’s responsibility
to seal the vent assembly’s ends
with appropriate method and materials
to prevent weather infiltration.
* Be sure to
use nails long enough to penetrate vent
and roof deck. Heavyweight, architectural
and re-roof installations may require a
longer nail than the 2 1/2" ones provided.
