Remove ridge cap shingles from the entire length of the ridge. Note: Delete Step 1 for new construction.

Snap chalk line on both sides of the ridge and no more than .750 (3/4) of an inch from the peak. Note: If a ridgepole is present, cut a wider gap to allow a minimum of 1/2" air gap on both sides of the pole into the attic space - but do not remove more than 2-1/4" of roof sheathing material from either side of the ridge. Refer to diagram below.

Cut along chalk lines. Remove roof sheathing. Note: Slot should not be cut any closer than within twelve (12) inches of gable end, hip intersecting ridge.

For appearance (to blend with the roof line), it is recommended that the TruRidge® vent be installed the entire length of the ridge. Position the first piece at one end of the ridge. Using 2-1/2" nails, for 3/4" deck penetration or penetration through the deck, which ever is less, anchor vent through preformed nail holes.

Nail each additional section in the same manner until entire ridge is covered. A chalk line may be utilized to ensure vent alignment. Cut last piece to length and install with original uncut end to the outside.

Install new ridge cap in normal manner, using 2-1/2" roofing nails, for 3/4" deck penetration or penetration through the deck, whichever is less. Nailing the ridge caps through the vent along the nailing line will secure the vent. Shingles may need to be trimmed.

WARNING: Read all warning messages and instructions before starting installation of this static vent. Failure to follow these safety instructions can result in injury or even death.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: This product contains sheet metal components that may contain sharp edges. Work gloves with an ANSI A5 or EN 388:2016 E cut resistance rating, or greater, must be worn when handling/installing this product.

OTHER HAZARDS
Danger: For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials or vapors. Use of this fan to exhaust hazardous, explosive or flammable materials may result in fire or explosion, causing injury or death.

Danger: Do not cut through any rafters. Cutting a rafter may cause structural instability to your roof allowing your roof to sag or collapse.

Step 1. POSITIONING THE VENTS ON THE ROOF: Position the vents evenly spaced across the roof, below the ridgeline so that the vents can only be seen from one side of the house, yet no greater than 2 feet below the ridgeline.

Step 2. DRILL THE GUIDE HOLE: Adjust placement of the vents to avoid drilling through any rafters. Drill a guide hole near the center position of each vent.

Step 3. OUTLINING THE HOLE: Mark an 8 inch diameter.

Step 4. CUTTING THE GUIDE HOLE: Using a saber saw, cut and remove all the roof shingles (and deck) inside the diameter circle you have marked. Next, cut back approximately 1-inch of the SHINGLES ONLY out of the top half of the hole to allow roof for placing and positioning the  flange. Do not cut through any rafters. Cutting a rafter may cause your roof to sag.

Step 5. POSITIONING THE BASE: Make sure the base flange parallels the ridgeline of the roof. Slip the upper half of the flange under the shingles. Center the unit over the hole. When installing the SLA / RVG55, the shingles should lay on top of the flange all the way down to the lower side of the opening. The flange from this point should rest on top of the shingles. If nail holes are provided in the vent they should be used for attaching the vent to the roof deck.

Step 6. SECURING THE BASE: Attach the flange securely to the roof with at least 8 galvanized roofing nails. Nails should be a least 2” long and should penetrate the vent, shingles and decking. Use a nail in each corner of the flange and along the middle of each side of the vent. Use roofing sealant to seal around each nail. If flange ribbing is present, vents should be shingled down to side flange ribbing only.

Use the following chart to determine proper roof pitch and size of opening.

Installation Work and Electrical Wiring Must Be Done By Qualified Person(s) In Accordance With All Applicable Codes And Standards, Including Fire-Rated Construction.

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.

CAUTION - For General Ventilating Use Only. Do Not Use to Exhaust Hazardous or Explosive Materials and Vapors.

CAUTION - This unit has an unguarded impeller. Do Not Use In Locations Readily Accessible to People or Animals.

TOOLS NEEDED

Electric drill, tape measure, hammer and nails, utility knife and pencil, jig or sabre saw, roofing nails, Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench, wire cutter, work gloves and safety glasses.

POSITIONING THE POWER ATTIC VENTILATOR ON THE ROOF: Set the unit approximately in the center of the roof close to the ridgeline (as shown above). Position the ventilator so that the unit can only be seen from one side of the house.

DRILLING THE GUIDE HOLE: Measure the distance to the ridgeline and to one end of the roof. Transfer these exterior dimensions to inside the attic. Next, locate a center position between two rafters (inside the attic) as near as possible to the outside measurements. Drill a guide hole through the roof from inside that is equal distance from the two rafters. Place a marker through the roof for quick identification while on the roof.

CUTTING THE HOLE: Draw a circle 14-1/2” in diameter using the guide hole as the center. A template is provided on the back of the carton for drawing the circle.

CUTTING THE HOLE IN THE ROOF: Using a sabre saw, cut and remove all roof shingles (and deck) inside the 14-1/2”- diameter circle. Next, cut an extra 1" off the top half of the hole (shingles only) to allow room for placing and positioning the flange. Do not cut through any rafters. Cutting a rafter may cause structural instability to your roof resulting allowing your roof to sag or collapse.

SECURING THE BASE: Make sure the base flange parallels the ridgeline of the roof. The embossed arrow and word UP should be pointing toward the ridgeline. Slip the upper half of the flange under the shingles. Center unit over the hole (as shown above). Attach flange securely to roof using roofing nails around the perimeter of the unit (underneath shingles at the top). A nonhardening roofing sealant can be used as a seal between the flange and shingles.

INSTALLING THE CONTROL: Inside the attic, separate the control cover from the mounting plate. Secure the plate to a rafter. See Step 7 to connect the control.

WIRING THE THERMOSTAT/HUMIDISTAT CONTROL: Wire the controller as shown above. Attach your ground wire to the ground screw inside the control as shown.

Danger: The electrical installation and wiring of this fan must be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with all local codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
Failure to do the installation properly can result in fire or even death.

NOTE: A few hours of operation without apparent problems does not necessarily imply that the installation is safe

Danger: Do not substitute a solid-state speed control for the thermostatically controlled on-off switch that comes with this fan. Use of a solid-state speed control can result in a fire causing injury or death.

Danger: Make sure the circuit breaker powering the circuit on which the fan will operate is turned OFF before wiring the thermostat. You can be shocked or electrocuted if the breaker is not off.

CONTROLLER OPERATION FOR THE COMBINATION HUMIDISTAT/THERMOSTAT THERMOSTAT: The thermostat operates on a temperature setting. Set the temperature dial to a 100 -110 degrees Fahrenheit setting. When the power ventilator is operational, the fan should start automatically when the attic temperature rises above the preset setting and cuts off when the attic is cooled down to approximately 10% below the thermostat setting.

HUMIDISTAT: The humidistat operates on a "fan-off" setting. Recommended setting is midway between 7 and 8. This equates to approximately 75% relative humidity. The fan will start automatically when relative humidity rises 4% to 8% above the setting, and will shut off when relative humidity reaches the setting. The control is adjustable to provide flexibility of use. Ground to screw on box.

Danger: Switch the power off at the service panel and lock the service panel before connecting to power circuit or servicing the motor. This fan is thermostatically, and humidity controlled — it may start at any time if the power is not switched off at the service panel. Contact with the fan blades while the fan is operating can result in serious injury or even death.
