John Dirks Jr Posted June 22, 2017 Report Posted June 22, 2017 How would one go about installing a continuous ridge vent on a modular home? At the ridge there are 2x4's on each half of attic structure that block the normal place you would cut a slot in the sheathing. So, how to accomplish installing a good vent at the ridge on this type of attic structure?
Bill Kibbel Posted June 23, 2017 Report Posted June 23, 2017 Air Vent has a shingle-over vent that's almost 12" wide. Commonly used with wide ridge beams.
John Dirks Jr Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks Bill. I understand the outer width of the Air Vent II is 12". Do you know how wide the actual vent opening is on the under side of the product? A double 2x4 of the modular home attic structure would be 3 1/2" wide if they were flush together. I was thinking one could cut a 1" slot in the sheathing on each side of the 2x4's. That would make a vent opening on each side of the ridge. Total span of vent covering opening would therefore need to be at least 5 1/2". I'm just not sure how the Air Vent is designed and if it can function properly over a 5-6" inch spread.
