HIGHPOINT® STEALTH RIDGE EXHAUST VENT
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1
Remove ridge cap shingles from the
entire length of the ridge. Note:
Delete Step 1 for new
construction.
4
Apply the vent so that the hinge is
centered along the peak allowing the
ange to rest on the roof deck (see
view 4a) opposite the slot opening.
Secure roof vent body using 2.5" ring
shank roo ng nails and nailing
through (2) provided pilot holes on
vent body.
6
Install new ridge cap by aligning the
edge of the shingle with the edge of
the vent cap. Secure the ridge cap by
nailing the ridge cap through the vent
body into the roof decking on one side
and by nailing directly into the existing
shingle/deck stratum on the other.
• YOU MUST HAVE A BALANCED VENTILATION SYSTEM!
• SOFFIT INTAKE SHOULD EQUAL RIDGE EXHAUST.
Ventilation Requirements
Inadequate ventilation of attic areas can cause a build up of moisture and heat. These
conditions can cause:
1. Accelerated roof weathering
2. Deck rot and attic fungus
3. Shingle distortion due to deck movement
4. Blisters
Install roof vents at ridges and eaves. FHA requires one square foot (0.1 sq. m) of
free ventilation to each 150 square feet (13.9 sq. m) of attic area or one square foot
(0.1 sq. m)/300 square feet (28 sq. m) if 50% ventilation is provided near the ridge.
UNIFORM BUILDING CODES
R806.2 Minimum area. The total net free ventilating area shall not be less than 1/150 of the area of the space
ventilated except that the total area is permitted to be reduced to 1/300, provided at least 40 percent and not
more than 50 percent of the required ventilating area is provided by ventilators located in the upper portion
of the attic or rafter space. Upper ventilators shall be located not more than 3 feet (914 mm) below the ridge
or highest point of space, measured vertically, with the balance of the required ventilation provided by the
eave or cornice vents. See the published International Residential Code for additional information.
• HIGHPOINT® EXHAUST VENTS are designed for varying roof pitches (3/12 through 16/12).
• For safety, always wear safety glasses.
• Application and installation procedures are beyond the control of the seller or manufacturer.
(Consequently, neither party shall be responsible for failure of the product when not used in strict
accordance to instructions and speci cations.)

Snap chalk line on rear side of the
ridge (or whatever side of the ridge
that aesthetic considerations dictate)
and no more than one inch (1") from
the peak. Note: Important to clear
center ridgepole before cutting. See

Ridge-to-Ridge application requires
a mitre-cut to maintain continuous
ridgeline appearance. Nailing the
ange is required when making a
straight or mitre cut.
3
Cut along chalk line. Remove roof
sheathing. Note: Slot should not be
cut any closer than within twelve (12)
inches of gable end, hip intersecting
ridge.
5
Truss
Join vents end to end by gently
butting the vent sections together
making sure to interleave end tabs,
and that the edge of the exterior
ba e on one side and the edge of
the ange on the other are lining up
parallel with each prior vent section
and with the ridge itself.

Optional
Ridge-to-Roof application requires a
mitre-cut to maintain continuous
ridgeline appearance. Nailing the
ange is required when making a
straight or mitre cut.
