Description
There are two great things about Air Vent's 9-inch ShingleVent II Class A shingle-over ridge vents:
- They're fire rated for Class A roof decks.
- They still have the advanced design of other Air Vent ridge vents including the external baffle and internal weather filter for superior airflow performance and weather rotection.
This product proves that outstanding beauty and performance can be combined. Design features include an external baffle and internal weather filter for optimum airflow and weather protection. Less than an inch in height, this molded, high-impact copolymer shingle-over ridge vent permits capping of the ridge with shingles like the rest of the roof.
- For enhanced ridge cap shingles, cedar shake, cedar shingle and tile applications.
- 16 square inches of net free area per linear foot.
- Built-in external baffle deflects wind up and over the ridge enhancing airflow performance.
- Internal weather filter provides protection against weather and insect infiltration.
- Less than 7/8 inches tall on the ridge making them virtually invisible from the ground.

THE SIMPLE MATHEMATICS OF A BALANCED RIDGE VENTILATION SYSTEM
- According to most building codes, you need 1 square foot of ventilation for every 150 square feet of attic floor space.
- For new home construction that includes a vapor retarder, the minimum is 1 square foot of ventilation for every 300 square feet of attic floor space.
- If your vents are split between ridge vents and intake vents, the minimum requirement is also 1 square foot of ventilation for every 300 square feet of attic floor space.
To determine how many feet of net free area you need, use this formula:
Square feet of attic floor space 300 |
= | Square feet of net free area needed |
For example: | ||
1500 square feet of attic floor space 300 |
= | 5 square feet of free are a needed |
- To determine how many feet of ShingleVent® II, Multi-Pitch FilterVent® or VenturiVent Plus™ you need, use this formula:
- 1/2 net free area x 144 ÷ 18 = feet of ridge vent needed
- For example: 2.5 (based on net free area of 5 square feet) x 144 ÷ 18 = 20 feet of ridge vent needed
- To determine how many feet of Air Vent soffit vents you need, use this formula:
- 1/2 net free area x 144 ÷ 9 = feet of soffit vent needed
- For example: 2.5 (based on net free area of 5 square feet) x 144 ÷ 9 = 40 feet of soffit vent needed
- The following charts may be used to:
- 1. Determine how much net free area is needed to satisfy FHA requirements.
- 2. Balance your ridge vent system.

Note: ShingleVent II and Multi-Pitch FilterVent provide 18" of net free area per linear foot.
INSTALLING A BALANCED RIDGE VENT SYSTEM
- Measure the square footage of the attic (length x width).
- Measure the length of the ridge.
- Refer to the chart above for required net free area and minimum length of ridge for attic square footage.
- Note: In most cases, the length of the ridge balanced with the same net free area of intake vents will satisfy FHA minimum standards and most building codes.
- Use the chart below to calculate the amount of intake vents that should be installed to balance your ridge vent system.
- Always install ridge vents from end to end across the entire ridge for best appearance and to provide maximum ventilation area.
- Hip roofs, dormers and T- or L-shaped roofs may require a specially designed ventilation system. For information, request a copy of Air Vent's Principles of Attic Ventilation.See Contact Us.
