Performance
Trimline Rigid Roll is the most tested and certified
Ridge Vent on the market and provides superior
ventilation, offering the most efficient way to
achieve the industry-recommended balanced system.
Trimline Ridge Vents provide continuous ventilation
by exhausting hot, moist air from the attic while
keeping out the most extreme weather elements like
heavy rain, hail, sleet and snow.
Trimline Rigid Roll Plus Benefits:
• Efficiently vents at the hottest point of the roof, the
ridge line.
• Releases damaging hot, moist attic air using the
circulation created by a balanced system. See “The Key
to Proper Attic Ventilation” on page 5.
• Made of HDPE Plastic, which withstands extreme
temperatures and won’t crack, dent or damage from hail
or ice.
• Continues to prevent
water infiltration
in the event of a
shingle blow-off.
• Rigorously
tested in extreme
weather conditions to
ensure no moisture
infiltration. Passed 8.8” of rain per hour at 110-MPH
winds with no infiltration. Passed snow simulation at
70 MPH with no infiltration.
• Additionally Trimline Ridge Vents have been airflow tested
in dusty environments according to ICC standards with no
reduction in airflow.
One-Pass™ Installation
Trimline Rigid Roll offers One-Pass Installation, securing cap
shingles and vent with the same nail. To assure the fastest
installation process with a smooth and even
ridge line, Trimline Rigid
gid Roll
Rol should
not be pre-fastened along
ong the
entire vent prior to cap
ap
shingle installation.
• Durable
corrugated
HDPE plastic
enables the
use of a coil nail
gun with no crushing.
• Trimline Rigid Roll Plus unrolls in seconds and can be
easily trimmed to any length using a utility knife.

How Trimline Ridge Vent
StormStop® Membrane Works
The Trimline StormStop protects the attic from nature’s worst elements.
In extreme weather conditions, damaging elements that could enter into
the vent are blocked by the StormStop membrane in Rigid Roll Plus and
Rigid Vent Plus. StormStop is a revolutionary spun-bound material that
keeps moisture out while allowing continuous airflow. The StormStop
material is 71% open and 29% closed, meaning that water will bead up
on the material and roll back out of the vent.

Trimline Rigid Vent Plus provides superior
ventilation without the need for a baffle. Trimline
vents efficiently exhaust damaging, hot air at the
hottest point, the ridge line. The exclusive StormStop®
membrane allows for effective ventilation while keeping
nature’s most extreme elements from entering into the
attic space. Additionally Trimline Ridge Vents have been
airflow tested in dusty environments according to ICC
standards with no reduction in airflow.
With a low profile or high profile, Trimline Rigid Vent Plus

Providing a balanced system assures
that damaging heat and moisture

protecting the roof from premature
deterioration, costly repairs and
06#-'+4

wasted utility dollars. If an attic
has a properly balanced system, the
airflow will move from the bottom
of the attic to the top, pushing out heat and moisture
in a natural flow using air pressure, thermal effect and
diffusion. If the system were to be unbalanced, and the
Net Free Area (NFA) at the ridge is higher than at the
eave, a reverse airflow can occur causing an opposite
effect to what is desired. The airflow will come from the
top of the house and push down toward the eaves. As a
result, heat and moisture are not allowed to escape and
additional air and moisture can be drawn into the home.
The FHA standard for static ventilation, as found in
HUD requirements for proper ventilation, is recognized

requirements

call for a ratio
06#-'+4
of 1:300. This
#61((+6
means one
square foot of
ventilation for
every 300 square feet of attic. Another ratio is 1:150,
which actually provides more ventilation, 1 square
foot for every 150 feet. In addition, specifications for
good attic ventilation require a balanced system with
at least 50% of the vents at the eave and 50% at the
upper portion of the roof. (In cases where 50:50 balance
cannot be achieved, always provide more than 50% of
the ventilation at the eave). Check local code for proper
amount of ventilation required.

The most important factor in roof ventilation is
the need for a balanced system. This means for
every inch of air exhausted, it must be balanced
by providing the same or greater
amount of air intake at the eaves.

rain from outside the home
or moisture vapor from inside

between the exterior cladding/siding and the building paper/

impact on the siding or cladding system as well as the building
paper or house wrap. This trapped moisture can also lead to
mold and mildew, causing potential health concerns and an
unhealthy living environment. Unvented moisture can also
severely reduce the service life of siding systems, paint or stain.

Flow-Thru Furring Strips are a practical and easy
venting solution that are made of a corrugated highdensity polyethylene. Flow-Thru Furring Strips provide
both a vertical channel for air and moisture to vent
and drain out as well as a horizontal channel to allow
air movements; this minimizes the potential water and
vapor penetration of the exterior wall. Trimline FlowThru Furring Strips are approved primarily for lowrise construction, for most exterior cladding systems,
including wood, fiber-cement, vinyl siding and stucco,
and EIFS systems.

• Trimline Flow-Thru Furring Strips will save the
homeowner money, both at the time of installation and
in the long run. The long-term savings results from not
having to pay for repainting or residing as often with FlowThru Furring Strips.
• Air nailed without collapsing or
compressing because of durable
construction.
• Compatible with most caulks and
sealants.
• Easily installed, requiring no special fasteners and no
corrosion issues.
• Won’t crack or split and easy to handle and store.
• Every piece is dimensionally die cut so every piece is a
consistent size and shape unlike wood battens.
• The ventilation from Flow-Thru Furring Strips behind
siding will extend the life of the fiber cement, cedar and
stucco siding.
• Cuts easily with a utility knife.
• Bug screen not required.
• Ideal for starter strip for siding applications.
• House paint will last longer because the tannis can leach
from the back of cedar siding if not back-primed and ruin
the house wrap’s water repellency.

Trimline Flow-Thru
Battens for

®
Products

Performance
Trimline’s Flow-Thru Battens’ unique design offers
many features that provide long-term superior
performance for tile roof applications.
• Durable corrugated plastic allows water to drain under
the tiles, eliminating build-up of moisture, snow and
ice that can lead to leaks. It reduces premature re-roofing
caused by water damage and poor air circulation.
• Open-batten design provides ventilation by allowing air to
move under the deck and the tiles.
• Plastic design creates a gasket effect which eliminates
leaking around fasteners.
• Taller than traditional wood battens, Flow-Thru
Battens keep the tile lug from making contact with the
underlayment, reducing the chance for leaks.
Quick
and Easy
Installation
Flow-Thru Battens are
engineered to make installation
easy while minimizing tile
breakage after installation.
• Easily installed with a coil
nail gun or staple gun and
won’t crack or split.
• Eliminates the need for lath and batten (counter batten)
systems, offering a substantial savings in labor and a
reduction in material used.
• Unlike warped or knotty wood battens, each Flow-Thru
Batten is consistent in quality, ensuring no waste in any
bundle.
• Every piece is dimensionally die cut so every piece is a
consistent size.
• Cuts easily with a utility knife for a perfect fit.

• Trimline VariaVent Ridge Vent combines ridge
ventilation and variable weather blocking in one
product. Each vent comes in a 4-foot sections with
aluminum weather blocking already attached.
• The variability of the weather blocking will allow
the vent to fit any tile and metal on the market,
while forming a weather-tight seal, meeting the Tile
Roof Institute’s requirements for weather blocking and
ventilation.
• VariaVent allows venting at the hottest point, the ridge
line. This eliminates attic hot spots, reducing cooling costs
by removing hot moist air from the attic, prolonging the
life of the roof.
• Trimline VariaBlock variable closure solution for hip/ridge
on tile and metal roofs is a durable and flexible weatherresistant product that can be used where weather blocking
or mortar is required: head wall, hip, ridge and gable end.
• Trimline VariaFlash universal flashing is the most
expansive flashing available for flat or barrel tile roofs.
VariaFlash will expand 40% in both directions, forming a
weather-tight seal.

Quick and
Easy Installation
lation
VariaVent’s variable and efficient design of vent and weather
blocking all in one allows for quick and easy installation
on any style of tile or metal. The Varia Products offer a
quicker alternative to mortar. See page 30 for installation
instructions.
VariaBlock’s 25-foot roll installs in minutes with no special
tools required for installation. Simply roll out and press into
the shape of the tile and remove the release liner so the buytl
will adhere. See page 31 for installation instructions.
VariaFlash’s 17-foot roll installs quickly using your hands.
Two separate release liners are simply peeled off, and the
flashing molds easily to conform to any roof surface.
Unattractive traditional tile vents or messy mortar are no
longer required. Varia products virtually disappear into the
roof line and hips, creating the most attractive roof line.
• As a durable and flexible weather-resistant product,
VariaFlash can be used where weather blocking or mortar
is required: head wall, chimney, hip, ridge,

Ridge Vent
41&7%65
6175'
Ridge Preparation for Trimline® Ridge
Vent Installation with Spanish and French
Translation
The amount of ventilation is controlled by the length of slot
cut along the roof ridge. For the most attractive roof line, it is
recommended that Trimline Ridge Vents are installed along
the entire ridge of the roof.
1. Ridge Ventilation Slot Preparation
Installation
The slot may be pre-cut on a new roof before or after shingle
installation or in a retrofit, the slot can be cut from the preshingled roof using a circular saw with a carbide tip blade.
(Protective eye
goggles should
be worn during
this process.) For
Trimline low
profile vents, cut a
2” slot (1” on each
side of ridge) along
the ridge(s). For a
roof with a center beam, a 31⁄2” slot should be cut (13⁄4”
on each side of ridge). For Trimline high profile vents,
cut a 21⁄2” slot (11⁄4” on each side ridge). For center
beam applications a 4” slot should be cut (2” on each
side of ridge). A minimum of 6” must be left uncut
on each end of the ridge. Once the slot is cut and any
overlapping shingles covering the ridge are trimmed
and removed, the ridge is ready for vent installation.
1. Preparación de la ranura para el respiradero de
cumbrera
La ranura puede cortarse previamente en un techo
nuevo antes o después de la instalación de las tejas
o en una remodelación, la ranura puede cortarse del
techo al que se le ha instalado previamente las tejas
usando una sierra circular con cuchilla de punta de
carburo. (Se deben usar lentes protectores durante
este proceso.) Para los respiraderos de bajo perfil de
Trimline, corte una ranura de 2 pulg. (1 pulg. a cada
lado de la cumbrera) a lo largo de la(s) cumbrera(s).
Para un techo con una viga central, se debe cortar una
ranura de 31⁄2 pulg. (13⁄4 pulg. a cada lado de la cumbrera).
14
800-438-2920
Se debe dejar un mínimo de 6 pulg. sin cortar en cada
extremo de la cumbrera. Una vez que se ha cortado la ranura
y se han recortado y extraído las tejas superpuestas que
cubren la cumbrera, ésta estará preparada para la instalación
del respiradero.
1. Préparation de la fente de ventilation du faîtage
La fente peut être précoupée sur un nouveau toit
avant ou après l’installation du bardeau ou dans le cas
d’une adapatation, la fente peut être coupée sur un toit
préimbriqué au moyen d’une scie circulaire avec une lame
à pointe au carbure. (Des lunettes protectrices doivent être
portées durant ce processus.) Pour les évents à profil bas
Trimline, coupez une fente de 5 cm (2,5 cm de chaque côté
du faîtage) le long du(des) faîtage(s). Pour les toits avec une
poutre centrale, une fente de 9 cm doit être coupée (4,5 cm
de chaque côté du faîtage). Une distance minimale de 15
cm ne doit pas être coupée à chaque extrémité du faîtage.
Une fois la fente coupée et tous les bardeaux se chevauchant
couvrant le faîtage émargés et enlevés, l’évent est prêt à être
installé sur le faîtage.
2. End Cap Installation
Pull apart a pre-cut section of the foam end cap found with
the vent. Using a utility knife, make a cut in the StormStop®
material 1⁄2” on each side, back from the end of the section.
Using construction adhesive or sealant caulk, coat both sides
of the StormStop material where it has been cut back at
the end of the vent. Insert the foam end cap with the cutback StormStop material between the foam end cap and the
underside of the vent to assure a weather-tight seal. Because
of the popularity of dimensional roofing material such
as 40/50 year and lifetime laminated shingles, we require
that a bead of sealant be applied to the roof shingles before
installing the vent on the ridge. This sealant should fill any
voids between the bottom of the vent and the surface of
the shingle. Use either butyl sealant conforming to ASTM
C1085, latex sealant conforming to ASTM C834, silicon
sealant complying with ASTM C 920 or asphalt roofing
cement complying with ASTM D4586.
2. Placement de l’évent sur le faîtage
Déroulez ou placez l’évent Trimline sur toute la longueur de
la fente tout en couvrant le minimum de 15 cm de faîtage
non coupé aux deux extrémités. Lorsque vous utilisez les
produits Rigid Roll, fixez au niveau de la bordure de départ
en insérant le capuchon d’extrémité. Tirez l’évent fermement
et fixez-le à une distance d’environ trois mètres. Tirez le
reste de l’évent fermement et fixez en insérant le capuchon
d’extrémité. Plusieurs longueurs d’évent peuvent être reliées
en aboutant les sections fermement ensemble. Il n’est
pas recommandé de clouer l’évent à tous les 15 cm avant
d’installer le bardeau de capuchon du faîtage. Un capuchon
d’extrémité doit être inséré à l’extrémité de chaque section
(voir l’étape 3). À cause de la popularité des matériaux de
couverture dimensionnels comme les bardeaux laminés
avec garantie de 40/50 ans et à vie, nous exigeons qu’un
cordon de produit d’obturation soit appliqué aux bardeaux
de toit avant d’installer l’évent sur le faîtage. Ce produit
d’obturation doit remplir tous les vides entre la partie
inférieure de l’évent et la surface du bardeau. Utilisez soit un
produit d’obturation en caoutchouc de butyle conforme à
ASTM C1085, un produit d’obturation au latex conforme
à ASTM C834, un produit d’obturation à base de silicone
conforme à ASTM C920 ou un ciment de couverture
bitumé conforme à ASTM D4586.
3. Vent Placement on Ridge
Attach vent to the roof deck by driving a nail in each of the
two corners on both ends of the vent. Also, drive two nails
through the vent
and foam end cap to
hold foam in place
on the ends of the
ridge only. Nails
should penetrate
the wood roof deck
at least 3⁄4”. It is
not recommended
to nail vent to
ridge prior to cap shingle installation. Because of the
popularity of dimensional roofing material such as
the newer 40/50
year and lifetime
laminated shingles,
we require that
a bead of sealant
be applied to
the roof shingles
before installing
the vent on the
ridge. This sealant
should fill any voids between the bottom of the vent
and the surface of the shingle. Use either butyl sealant
conforming to ASTM C1085, latex sealant conforming
to ASTM C834, silicone sealant complying with ASTM
C920 or asphalt roofing cement complying with ASTM
800-438-2920
Installation
2. Ubicación del
respiradero en la
cumbrera
Extienda o coloque
el respiradero
Trimline a lo
largo de toda la
longitud de la
ranura cubriendo
también las 6
pulg. sin cortar
de la cumbrera en
ambos extremos.
Cuando use los
productos Rigid
Roll, asegúrelos
en la arista de
trabajo, colocando
un tapón en el
extremo. Extienda
bien el respiradero
y asegúrelo a
aproximadamente
10 pies (3.04m).
Extienda bien
el resto del
respiradero
y asegúrelo
colocando el tapón
en el extremo.
Se pueden unir
longitudes
múltiples del
respiradero
empalmando las secciones bien juntas y apretadas. No se
recomienda clavar el respiradero cada 6 pulg. antes de la
instalación de las tejas de remate de la cumbrera. Se debe
colocar un tapón en el extremo de cada sección (Vea paso
#3). Debido a la popularidad de los materiales dimensionales
para techar como por ejemplo las nuevas tejas laminadas
de 40/50 años de duración o que durarán toda la vida,
requerimos que se aplique una gota de sellador a las tejas del
techo antes de instalar el respiradero en la cumbrera. Este
sellador debe llenar cualquier vacío entre la parte inferior
del respiradero y la superficie de la teja. Use un sellador de
butilo que cumpla con las especificaciones ASTM C1085,
un sellador de látex que cumpla con las especificaciones
ASTM C834, un sellador de silicona que cumpla con las
especificaciones ASTM C920 o un cemento para techar de
asfalto que cumpla con las especificaciones ASTM D4586.

D4586. Roll out or place Trimline vent along the entire
length of slot also covering the 6” minimum uncut ridge on
both ends. Bend
vent into a “V”
Shape. When
using Rigid Roll
products, secure at
the lead edge after
inserting the end
cap. Nail should
penetrate roof deck
a minimum of 3⁄4”.
Pull the vent tight and secure at about 10 feet. Pull the rest
of the vent tight and secure, inserting the end cap. Multiple
lengths of vent can be joined by butting the sections tightly
together. End caps should be inserted at the beginning and
end of each section. Do not pre-fasten ridge vent along the
entire vent; with Trimline’s One-Pass Installation, it is not
necessary to pre-fasten the vent every 2’ to 3’ prior to cap
shingle installation.
Installation
3. Instalación de los tapones ciegos
Separe una sección del tapón ciego de espuma cortada
previamente que viene con el respiradero. Con un cuchillo
de uso general, haga un corte de 1⁄2 pulg en el material
StormStop a cada lado, desde la parte trasera del extremo
de la sección (Vea la ilustración #3). Con un adhesivo de
construcción o sellador de juntas, cubra ambos lados del
material StormStop donde se cortó, en la parte trasera
del extremo del respiradero. Coloque el tapón ciego de
espuma con el material StormStop recortado entre el
tapón ciego de espuma y la parte inferior del respiradero
para asegurar que quede correctamente sellado. Acople
el respiradero a la plataforma del techo colocando
un clavo en cada una de las dos esquinas en ambos
extremos del respiradero. Instale también dos clavos
a través del respiradero y del tapón ciego de espuma,
para sujetar la espuma en su lugar, solamente en
los extremos de la cumbrera. Los clavos deben
introducirse al menos 1⁄2 pulg. en la plataforma del
techo de madera.

3. Installation des capuchons d’extrémité
Séparez une section précoupée du capuchon
d’extrémité en mousse se trouvant dans l’évent. Au
moyen d’un couteau universel, effectuez une coupe de
1,3 cm dans le matériau StormStop® de chaque côté,
derrière l’extrémité de la section (voir l’illustration 3
en médaillon). Au moyen d’un adhésif de construction
ou d’un calfeutrant à sceller, enduisez les deux côtés
du matériau StormStop à l’endroit où il a été coupé à
l’extrémité de l’évent. Insérez le capuchon d’extrémité
en mousse avec le matériau StormStop coupé entre le
800-438-2920
capuchon d’extrémité en mousse et la partie inférieure de
l’évent pour assurer une étanchéité imperméable. Fixez l’évent
au platelage en enfonçant un clou dans chacun des deux
coins aux deux extrémités de l’évent. Enfoncez aussi deux
clous à travers l’évent et le capuchon d’extrémité en mousse
pour tenir la mousse en place sur les extrémités du faîtage
seulement. Les clous doivent pénétrer le platelage en bois d’au
moins 1,3 cm.
3B. Note: For “Class A” Installation Only
For “Class A” Trimline® vent installation, follow steps 1, 2,
3 as stated above. Once the vent has been installed, use a
utility knife with a hook
blade and remove the
corrugated plastic center
section of the vent. Do
this for the hip and ridge.
This modified installation
meets the requirements for
UL790 “Class A,” standard
installation meets the requirements for UL790 “Class A.”
Follow remaining steps 4 as stated.
3B. Nota: Solamente para la instalación del “Clase A”

de l’évent (voir l’illustration 3B). Cette installation modifiée
est conforme aux exigences UL790 de « catégorie A »,
l’installation standard est conforme aux exigences UL790 de
« catégorie C ». Continuez avec l’étape 4.
4. Cap Shingle Installation
Using One-Pass™ Installation secure cap shingles and vent
at the same time. Nail ridge caps with roofing nails in a
common, overlapping pattern. Nails should penetrate the
wood roof deck at least 3⁄4”. For the fastest installation, a coil
nail gun can be used as long as the minimum penetration
is 3⁄4”. It is important when installing this vent that you
maintain the pitch of the roof. The vent has been installed
properly if the
bottom of the vent
is flat on the roof
and the peak is
slightly rounded.
4. Instalación de
las tejas de remate
Con One-Pass
Installation asegure
las tejas de remate
y el respiradero
al mismo
tiempo. Clave
las cumbreras de
remate con clavos
para techos en
un modelo típico
de superposición. Los clavos deben introducirse al menos
1
⁄2opulg. en la plataforma del techo de madera. Para conseguir
una instalación más rápida, se puede usar una pistola de
clavos siempre y cuando la introducción mínima sea de 1⁄2
pulg. Cuando se instala el respiradero es muy importante
mantener la pendiente del techo. El respiradero se ha
instalado correctamente si la parte inferior de éste está plana
en el techo y el pico está ligeramente redondeado.
4. Installation des bardeaux de capuchon
Au moyen de l’installation One-Pass, fixez les bardeaux de
capuchon et l’évent en même temps. Clouez les capuchons
du faîtage avec des clous de toiture dans un motif de

Determine how long of a hip and ridge ventilation slot will
be required according to 1/300 rule. The ridge and hip
ventilation slot may be pre-cut on a new roof before or after
shingle installation or in a retrofit, the slot can be cut from
the pre-shingled roof using a circular saw with a carbide tip
blade.

EL[
Start ridge
ventilation
slot 6” from point where hip and ridge meet. For Trimline®
low profile vents, cut a 2” slot (1” on each side of ridge)
along the ridge(s). For a roof with a center beam, a 31⁄2” slot
should be cut (13⁄4” on each side of ridge). For Trimline
high profile vents, cut a 21⁄2” slot (11⁄4” on each side of
ridge). For center beam applications a 4” slot should be
cut (2” on each side of ridge). If entire ridge requires
ventilation, stop ventilation slot 6” from point where
hip and ridge meet. To maintain structural integrity,
one continuous slot is not recommended on hip
applications. Start ventilation preparation by leaving
6” of hip uncut from where the ridge and hip meet.
Cut a 31⁄2” wide slot for ventilation. Hip slot should
be 18” in length, spaced with a 12” uncut area
between each 18” opening. The slot for ventilation
should not be cut any lower than the top 1⁄3 of the
roof to maintain a balanced ventilation system.
Pull apart a pre-cut section of the foam end cap found
with the vent. Using a utility knife, make a cut in
the StormStop® material 1⁄2” on each side, back from
the end of the section. Using construction adhesive or
sealant caulk, coat both sides of the StormStop material
where it has been cut back at the end of the vent. Insert
the foam end cap with the cut-back StormStop material

4. Vent Placement on Hip
Install a minimum of 2 cap shingles at the bottom of the hip.
If the vent is not being run the entire length of the hip, the
vent should overlap a minimum of 2 cap shingles at the end
of the vent. Before installing the vent on the hip, lay a bead

Cut the slot prior to installing the last course of shingle
panels along the ridge in a re-roof or new construction
application (protective eye goggles should be worn during
this process). For Trimline® Plus
low profile 7” vents, cut a 2” slot
(1” on each side of ridge) along
the ridge. A minimum of 6”
must be left uncut on each end
of the ridge. Once the slot is cut
then measure and cut shingle
panels to fit along the ridge; panels should not obstruct the
slot. Once the panels are installed, the ridge is ready for vent
installation.
Retrofit with Stone-Coated Steel
Installation
If stone-coated steel is already installed, the slot can be
cut from the pre-paneled roof using a circular saw with a
combination blade (reversed) or a Tenryu Steel Pro blade
(protective eye goggles should be worn during this process).
For Trimline Plus low profile 7” vents, cut a 2” slot (1” on
each side of ridge) along the ridge. A minimum of 6” must
be left uncut on each end of the ridge.
22
Pull apart a precut section of the foam end cap found
with the vent, usually found in the first 3 feet of the
roll. Use a utility knife to make a cut in the StormStop
material 1⁄2” on each side, back from the end of the
section (See
insets). Using
construction
adhesive or
sealant caulk,
coat both sides
of the StormStop
material where
it has been cut
back at the end
of the vent. Insert the foam end cap with the cut-back
StormStop material between the foam end cap and the
underside of the vent to assure a weather-tight seal.
800-438-2920
Before installing the vent on the ridge a bead of sealant is
required between the stone-coated steel and the underside of
the ridge vent. This sealant should fill any voids between the
bottom of the vent and the surface of the panel. Caulking
and sealants shall be suitable for exterior use and be resistant
to weathering; use either butyl or polyurethane sealants. The
caulking and the sealants shall be compatible with and adhere
to the materials to which they are applied. Check sealant

Flat Tile Roofs
The slot must be cut on
a new roof before field
tile installation. The
amount of ventilation is
controlled by the length
of slot cut along the roof
ridge. Remember, for the
most attractive roof line,
it is recommended that
Trimline® Ridge Vents are installed along the entire ridge of
the roof. For Trimline low-profile vents, a 31⁄2” slot should
be cut (13⁄4” on each side of ridge). For Trimline high-profile
vents a 4” slot should be cut (2” on each side of the ridge). A
minimum of 6” must be left uncut on each end of the ridge.
Once the slot is cut and the battens are installed, it is time
to install the field and trim tiles per the tile manufacturer’s
installation instructions. After field tile installation, the ridge
now is ready for vent installation.
4. Cap Tile Installation
It is important when installing this vent that you maintain the
pitch of the roof. The vent has been installed properly if the

The slot may be precut on a new roof before or after shake
installation or in a retrofit, the slot can be cut from the roof
using a circular saw with a carbide tip blade. (Protective eye
goggles should be worn during this process). For Trimline low
profile vents, cut a 2” slot (1” on each side of ridge) along
the ridge(s). For a roof with a center beam, a 31⁄2” slot should
be cut (13⁄4” on each side of ridge). For Trimline high profile
vents, cut a 21⁄2” slot (11⁄4” on each side ridge). For center
beam applications a 4” slot should be cut (2” on each side of
ridge). A minimum of 6” must be left uncut on each end of
the ridge.
Installation
Pull apart a precut section of the foam end
cap found with the vent. For products with
StormStop, using a utility knife, make a cut
in the StormStop material 1⁄2” on each side,
back from the end of the section. Using
construction adhesive or sealant caulk, coat
both sides of the StormStop material where it has been
cut back at the end of the vent. Insert the foam end
cap with the cut back StormStop material between the
foam end cap and the underside of the vent to assure
a weather-tight seal. Attach vent to the roof deck by
driving a nail in each of the two corners on both ends
of the vent. Also, drive two nails through the vent
and foam end cap to hold foam in place on the ends
of the ridge only. Nails should penetrate the wood
roof deck at least 3⁄4”. It is not recommended to nail
vent to ridge prior to cap shake installation.
Before installing the vent on the ridge, please a bead
of sealant on each side of the ridge cut. This sealant
should fill any voids between the bottom of the vent
and the surface of the cedar shakes. Use either butyl
sealant conforming to ASTM C1085; latex sealant
24

Ridge Vent Application in
Seismic and Wind Designs
According to the APA-The Engineered Wood Association,
continuous ridge vents, like Trimline and Trimline Plus, can
be used in conjunction with a roof diaphragm and meet the
requirements to withstand lateral loads in seismic and high
wind designs. Trimline and Trimline Plus can be used in
unblocked as well as blocked roof diaphragms.
Installation
According to the APA with
an unblocked
diaphragm, there is
no requirement for a
connection to be made
0$.1%-'&
between unsupported
+#2*4#)/
edges of adjacent panels.
With an unblocked diaphragm-type construction Trimline
and Trimline Plus ridge vents can be installed with no
modification to the published installation instructions. In
an unblocked diaphragm, only the 4-foot wide panel ends
occur over and are nailed to common framing. This is
the most common type of diaphragm used in standard
residential construction.
26
According
to the APA
Accor
with
wi a blocked
diaphragm, the use
of a continuous
ridge vent is
slightly more
challenging because
.1%-'& all edges of all
+#2*4#)/ adjacent panels
must occur over
and be attached to common
framing. This
com
additional nailing provides a greater number of
fasteners available to transfer shear from one panel to
another, thus increasing the overall shear capacity and
rigidity or stiffness of the diaphragm. This is as true
for the ridge as it is for other panels occurring in a
common plane. This can be done by placing blocking
in alternating spaces between the rafters or joists. At
the location where there is not blocking, the slot at the
ridge that is cut for venting, is increased in width to the
required opening for proper ventilation. At the location
800-438-2920
where there is blocking, the required nail spacing shall be
halved, so that twice as many nails are present to make this
connection in every other space.
How is proper attic ventilation achieved with
alternating blocking in a blocked diaphragm
application?
With alternating blocking the determining factor for NFA
(Net Free Area) is the width of the slot cut at the ridge of the
roof. Since the length of the allowable venting area along the
ridge is cut in half. The width of the slot is increased to
2.5” to insure proper ventilation.
When venting with a blocked diaphragm, warm air travels
through the unblocked sections of the ridge, flowing over
the blocked sections of the ridge and exiting along the entire
length of the ridge vent. The warm air from the attic space
will be properly vented using this application. Trimline
Low Profile Ridge Vents will provide

soffit ventilation, required to
properly ventilate your attic
space. Determine the square
footage of attic space by
multiplying length x width
of the house. Find your
approximate square footage
on the chart and read across.
Rigid Roll Plus or Rigid Vent Plus Ridge Vent, and the
minimum square inches net free area of soffit ventilation
required. These charts utilize the F.H.A. Standard for Static
Ventilation as found in H.U.D. Requirements for Proper
Ventilation - Ref: M.P.S. 403.3. They use the 1:300 ratio
(1 sq. ft. of ventilation for every 300 sq. ft. of attic space).
Trimline numbers are rounded up to the nearest foot.
The numbers in these charts reflect the minimum lineal
footage of slot which should be cut into the ridge. For
the most aesthetically pleasing roof line possible, it’s
recommended that the Trimline ridge vent be installed along
the entire ridge and hips of the roof. See page 27 for metric

Step 4
Preparing for
Installation
Roof tile must be clean and dry
before installation. VariaVent
Ridge Vent should only be
applied when the air temperature
is at least 40°F. Assure that a 1”
slot has been cut in the roof deck
on each side of the center board
before beginning installation. We recommend that 6”-12” is
left uncut at each end of the ridge.
Step 1
Center VariaVent Ridge Vent
on top of roof nailing board.
Nail VariaVent Ridge Vent at
the end of each 4-foot section
to hold the vent centered on
ridge nailing board. VariaVent
Ridge Vent can meet a variety
of pitches ranging from 3/12
to 12/12. Use a minimum of a
13⁄4” nail; nail should penetrate
nailing board by 3⁄4”.
Installation
Step 2
Form VariaVent Ridge Vent’s
weather-blocking material to
tile roof surface. Take care that
weather-blocking aluminum
area does not press to the surface
of the nailing board preventing
proper airflow. A 3⁄4” space
should be between the weatherblocking material and the center
nailing board.
Step 3
Remove protective strip from
back of adhesive tape on back
side of weather blocking.

800-438-2920
Press VariaVent Ridge Vent
weather blocking into pans
of each tile. VariaVent Ridge
Vent can elongate to form the
barrel to pan closure. Make sure
that the edge area of VariaVent
Ridge Vent’s weather blocking
is thoroughly pressed to tile to
assure a weather-tight seal.
Step 5
When joining two pieces of
VariaVent Ridge Vent together
at the ridge, insert the excess
StormStop membrane under
the new 4-foot section. The
aluminum should fit together
along the folds. Butt 4-foot vent
sections together until they meet
and nail in place to center board.

Trimline® Ridge Vent FAQs
Q. How does StormStop® work?
A. The membrane material used in Rigid Roll PLUS™ is a
spun-bound non-absorbent plastic. Twenty nine percent of
our membrane is fiber. The other seventy-one percent is open.
This lightweight membrane makeup allows air to pass through
but stops water. Water pools on the surface of the membrane
but is not allowed to penetrate it.
environment in which it operates. A baffled venting system
only operates at its optimum efficiency when the wind passes
perpendicularly over the baffle at a precise angle. If there is
no wind over the baffle it does not aid in venting of the roof.
In addition, your ridgeline has to be facing the way the wind
blows for the baffle to perform. A baffle alone will not provide
adequate continuous ridge ventilation; it must be a part of a
balanced system.
Q. Will StormStop reduce airflow?
A. Actually, the airflow of a ventilation system is determined
by the Net Free Area of the vent, the slot width and the
ventilation at the eave or soffit (a balanced system). The
recommended slot width for installation of Rigid Roll
PLUS™, when used with a balanced system, provides adequate
airflow for efficient ventilation.
Q. How easy is installation?
A. The product easily rolls out and is quick and easy to install
using a coil nail gun. There is one simple additional step when
inserting end-caps. A small cut in the membrane must be
made to assure a proper seal at the end of the vent. See
page 14.
Q. What is the NFA of the product?
A. The Net Free Area of the product is 12.7 inches per lineal
foot for the low profile product and 19 inches per lineal foot
for the high profile product.
Q. Has the product been tested?
A. Yes! The product has been put trough rigorous research and
development testing at Architectural Testing Institute in York
Pennsylvania. The results:
Q. Will the StormStop filter clog?
A. Actually, the material is not a filter, but is a special
membrane. Unlike products with a filter, the material is
non-porous and will not allow matter such as dirt or loose
insulation to lodge within it. Products that actually use a filter
material are susceptible to clogging.
• It withstood tests similar to DADE County protocol of 8.8
inches of rain per hour with 110-MPH winds and easily
passed.
Q. You do not have baffles, so will this product perform as
well as baffled products?
A. The most crucial element to the performance of a
ventilation system is that it is in balance. If an attic has a
properly balanced system, the airflow will move from the eaves
and the bottom of the attic to the top, pushing out heat and
moisture in a natural flow using air pressure, thermal effect and
diffusion. If the system were to be unbalanced, and the NFA at
the ridge is higher than at the eave, a reverse airflow can occur
causing an opposite effect to what is desired. Baffles have no
effect on achieving a balanced system. For a system to be in
balance there must be an equal or greater amount of intake at
the eaves than what is being exhausted at the ridge.
• It also passed the ICC snow simulation test at 35 MPH and
70 MPH with no infiltration. Trimline Ridge Vents meet
the conditions of acceptance of the Dust Exposure Test with
no reduction in airflow.
• Trimline Ridge Vents are certified for performance by
Miami-Dade, Building Officials and Code Administrators
International, International Conference of Building
Officials, International Code Council, Texas Department of
Insurance and Underwriters Laboratories Class A or C.
Q. What pitches can it be used on?
A. Rigid Roll and Rigid Vent PLUS™ can be used 3/12-20/12.
Q. Can this product be used on hip applications?
A. Yes, the same Trimline Ridge Vent that is used on the ridge
will work well in hip applications. See page 18.
Q. What other reasons is a non-baffled product better than a
baffled product?
A. Baffles are unattractive and easily seen on the roof. In addition,
plastic baffles can break off or deteriorate over time. Baffles
also are susceptible to clogging from leaves and other debris.
Q. Do Trimline Ridge Vents work with any other applications?
A. Trimline Ridge Vents work on hip, and Trimline Multi
Roll™ Vents work on eave intake, ridge exhaust and shed
applications. Trimline Ridge Vents also work under various
types of roofing materials such as flat tile, cedar shakes and
shingles, stone-coated steel and metal. See pages 17-24.
Q. What about the Bernoulli effect?
A. The Bernoulli effect has to do with wind passing over an
object. When venting, a baffle is only as effective as the
Q. What kind of warranty do Trimline Products have?
A. Rigid Roll® PLUS and Rigid Vent PLUS™ carry a
manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty! See page 34.
