Questions & Answers
I have a salt box rook with 4/12 pitch on the rear and 12/20 pitch on the front, will the snow country roof vent wrap over that ridge properly? It is a 103.5 degree inside angle.
The Cobra SnowCountry 11.5 in. x 48 in. Filtered Plastic Roof Ridge Exhaust Vent is designed to provide effective attic ventilation and is flexible enough to accommodate various roof pitches and ridge angles. However, the product documentation does not explicitly confirm compatibility with your specific roof geometry, which includes: Rear Pitch: 4/12 Front Pitch: 12/20 (approximately 6/10 or 7.2/12) Inside Ridge Angle: 103.5 degrees While the vent is generally flexible, it is recommended to consult GAF technical support or review detailed installation instructions to confirm whether it can properly wrap over your asymmetrical ridge condition. This will ensure optimal performance and proper installation. For further details, you can refer to the Cobra SnowCountry Exhaust Vent Product Page or the Installation Instructions. Let me know if you need additional assistance! Please give our technical team a call at 1-800-ROOF-411. They'd be glad to speak with you regarding this particular type of installation.
My old vent allowed bats to enter our attic. Will this vent fit tight to the roof to ensure bats can’t enter? How do you seal the ends to ensure no open entry for bats?
The Cobra SnowCountry Ridge Vent is designed to fit tightly to the roof deck along the ridge when installed correctly, minimizing gaps that could allow bats or other pests to enter. Here’s how it addresses your concerns: (a) Fit to the Roof: The vent includes external filtering to resist weather and insect intrusion, ensuring a snug fit to the roof deck. Proper installation is critical to achieving this tight seal. (b) Sealing the Ends: To seal the ends and prevent entry points for bats: Seal-A-Ridge® Ridge Cap Shingles: These are factory-cut shingles designed to protect ridge ends and provide a uniform look. They are part of the GAF Lifetime Roofing System and are installed at high-stress areas like hips and ridges. Installation Steps: Follow the detailed installation instructions provided by GAF for Cobra Ridge Vents and Seal-A-Ridge® Ridge Cap Shingles to ensure proper sealing and placement. (c) Limitations and Caution: While sealing the ends is essential to prevent pest entry, it’s crucial to maintain proper airflow for attic ventilation. Only use manufacturer-recommended accessories and follow their installation guidelines to avoid compromising the vent’s functionality.

Compatibility with Metal Roofs: The product documentation does not explicitly confirm compatibility with metal roof ridges. Ridge vents like this one are typically designed for asphalt shingle roofs. For metal roofs, specialized ridge vents are often required to ensure proper installation and performance. Recommendation: If you are considering this product for a metal roof, it is advisable to consult with GAF technical support or a roofing professional to confirm its suitability. Alternatively, you may explore ridge vents specifically designed for metal roofing systems.
And what do you do about the nails that you are nailing through the ridge vent?
When installing the Cobra SnowCountry 11.5 in. x 48 in. Filtered Plastic Roof Ridge Exhaust Vent, the nails used to secure the vent are an integral part of the installation process. Here are the key points to consider: Nail Type: The vent typically comes with 3-inch (76 mm) ring shank nails, which are designed to securely fasten the vent to the roof ridge. Installation Process: Prepare the roof ridge by ensuring it is properly aligned and ready for the vent installation. Use the provided nails to secure the vent along the ridge line. Ensure the nails are driven in firmly to prevent movement or gaps, which could compromise the vent's performance. Additional Features: The vent includes a Snow Guard™ filter to resist snow, insects, and pine needle infiltration. It features EasyTear™ sizing, allowing you to hand-tear the product in 3-inch increments for easier handling and reduced waste.
