[. . . ] TruSlateTM Ridge Vent Attic Exhaust Ventilation Application Instructions Updated: 9/10 Quality You Can Trust Since 1886. . . From North America's Largest Roofing Manufacturer TM MC APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Ridge Vent "Quality You Can Trust Since 1886. . . From North America's Largest Roofing Manufacturer" Roof Deck: Use only over a well-seasoned, supported wood deck, tightly constructed with maximum 6" (152mm) wide lumber, having adequate nail-holding capacity. OSB or Plywood decking as recommended by The Engineered Wood Association is acceptable. For ridge vent to function properly, it must be the only exhaust vent for the vented attic space. [. . . ] This portion of the UnderBlockTM UV and Moisture Barrier should be tucked securely under the TruSlateTM Ridge Vent to ensure weathertight protection at the junction of the slates and ridge vent. With the UnderBlockTM UV and Moisture Barrier in place, butt the top course of slates firmly up against the ridge vent. There should be no space between the top of the slates and the ridge vent (Figure G). NOTE: In order to install a full course of slates adjacent to the ridge vent with the TruSlateTM system, it may be necessary to adjust lower courses of hangers and battens up to 1/4" (6mm) up or down.

Fasten trim slates directly to the vent, using minimum 2 1/2" (64mm) stainless steel nails, copper slater's nails or coated decking screws. Fasten securely, while allowing the trim slates "wiggle" room. · Fasteners must be of sufficient length to penetrate through plywood decks or at least 3/4" (19mm) into wood planks. 3" (76mm) ring shank nails are recommended for increased uplift resistance. NOTE: GAF-Elk TruSlateTM trim slates come with pre-punched holes for easy installation. When joining the top butt edge of trim slates from alternate sides of the ridge, always make sure the top butt edge of both trim slates is centered along the ridge. Join these trim slates so that one trim slate slightly overlaps the other trim slate. This will help to provide a clean and uniform junction. Install TruSlateTM trim slates on top of the ridge vent so they overhang the top course of field slates by at least 3/4" (25mm). This will help to lock in the top course of field slates into place. When working down the ridge, succeeding TruSlateTM trim slates should cover the previous trim slate by 6" (152mm), resulting in a finished exposure for each trim slate of 10" (254mm) (Figure H). NOTE: If desired, a weatherproof caulk of a color matching the slate may be applied to the top joint of the trim slates. H 10" 257 mm NOTE: For further details on slate or synthetic slate products and/or installations, consult your specific slate or synthetic slate's manufacturer.
