V-400E, V-300, Fold-A-Vent and the X-5 Ridge Vents are all recommended to be used with shingles, slate or flat tile on hip roofs. Note: over-all roof pitch should be at least 4/12 and caulking under the vent is recommended. With heavy weight shingles the hip application would be the same as with a slate or flat tile roof.

The ridge vent should not be used with other roof mounted or gable end vents. They can disrupt the air flow through the attic. A properly setup ridge/soffit vent system does not need to have power roof vents to help move hot air out of the attic. Whole house fans work great with a ridge/soffit vent system. We do not consider them the same thing as the power roof vents. See similar questions...

If you have an area between the roof and the sheathing ridge and no other ventilation had been provided, ridge vents are a good idea. See similar questions...

Yes, the ridge vent should be covered with shingles or a cap of your choice (metal, slate, tile, etc.). See similar questions...

A strip of felt, metal and/or rubber flashing should be laid under the hip and ridge product. See the CSSB's New Roof Construction Manual for more details. The untreated shingles will last longer and the roof system will work better if you have an airspace directly below the shingles to allow them to breathe and dry out. It will also allow summer condensation to run out from under the shingles. See similar questions...

Take the square footage of house under roof X .48 divide this number by 20 (for V-600 products), by 17 (for V-400E or X-5) or by 13.5 (for V-300 or Fold-A-Vent products) this will give the lineal feet of product needed to meet a 1/150 vent ratio. If you are only going for a 1/300 (code minimum) vent ratio divide the above result by two. REMEMBER there MUST be an equal amount of soffit vent (in NFVA) to balance the ridge vent.

X-5 X-treme, V-600, V-600CS, V-400E, V-300, V-300CS, V-300-7 and All Fold-A-Vent Products can be used with any roof pitch from 3/12 to 16/12. For hip applications minimum over all roof pitch must be at least a 4/12 pitch. (The old style V-400 can only be used with up to a 10/12 pitch roof.) See similar questions...

The roof ridge is best made of a more pliable and better bonding material than water reed. Wheat straw is preferred for this purpose and it is held in place by wooden spars. It is important that winter wheat be used since it is stronger and more durable than spring wheat. Of course, The Thatch Company uses only winter wheat straw. There are two basic forms of ridge: flush and block. A flush ridge is just that - it is flush with the rest of the roof line and does not stand out from it. See similar questions...

Yes, the ridge vent must have at least an equal amount of soffit ventilation to balance the airflow. There can be more soffit ventilation, but NEVER less soffit ventilation then ridge ventilation. See our General Installation Instructions for examples of different soffit vent configurations. See similar questions...

GQ. Both players can use them in scenarios 1, 2 and 4. Only the attacker can use them in scenarios 3, 5 and 6. Also, please note that having multiple vents, or multiple tunnels, does _not_ increase the number of models that can use them to more than 3 (i.e. if you have two sets of vents you can still only infiltrate up to 3 models, _not_ up to 6 models).

After the loss of a tooth, the bone formerly around the tooth is resorbed - often leaving a very narrow ridge of bone. In order to place an implant, the ridge of bone is split as though it were a piece of corrugated cardboard being expanded to provide a wider space between each side. For the upper jaw, this is accomplished at the same time that the implant is placed; the lower jaw requires a second surgical visit approximately three weeks later. See similar questions...

Yes. We carry a set of roof rails that you can bolt onto your roof. Once on, they work just as well as any stock set of rails. And, after you add the crossbars, you are ready to strap on a roof rack or a roof bag right to the top of your ride. For a secure fit, you will have to drill a few holes into your roof to mount the rails. They use an ingenious riveting system that delivers a firm grip and looks factory-installed.

PennHIP was developed and tested following strict scientific protocol and the results of these studies have been, and continue to be, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. More than a decade of research and analysis have produced a body of information in support of PennHIP's effectiveness. (As with all diagnostic tests, PennHIP's accuracy is not 100%, but in direct comparisons it is far superior to any other available diagnostic methods. See similar questions...

Good idea in snow country, or if you're in an area where water is scarce. Think about a "rain catchment" system with a metal roof, gutters, and a holding tank. See similar questions...

Yes. Shingle Shield Roof & Deck Cleaner effectively cleans away stains of algae, fungus, molds, mildew, dirt, pollution, pine pollen, berries, etc. Since it contains no bleach, it will restore the natural color to the wood. Wood shingles get slippery when wet, however, so wait until they are completely dry before walking on them. See similar questions...

Absolutely! Shingle Shield Roof & Deck Cleaner is the perfect solution to restoring the appearance of wood decks, gazebos, fencing, or porches. It will not lighten the wood’s color (including cedar and redwood) because it contains no bleach. It is also ideal for cleaning most non-oil type stains from concrete driveways and sidewalks. Properly follow all directions on the label. See similar questions...

It is not recommended that you use ZMesh underneath a metal roof. We recommended that Tuff Cable in Heatsink be used instead. See similar questions...

The Rhodesian Ridgeback's ancestry includes a dog native to Southern Africa--a dog that originally was discovered to have been domesticated by the Hotenetot tribes of the region. Early settlers described a dog living with the aboriginal tribes as having a "peculiar section of hair running in the opposite direction along the back". See similar questions...

Typically, we recommend that you place a large louvered vent opposite the door, towards the top of the greenhouse. If you then place two or more base vents low to the ground (on either side of the door, for example), you get a natural ground- up ventilation. A solar opener can be attached to the louvered vent, in order to better regulate the temperature. We recommend that you close the base vents during cold weather. See similar questions...

It is a metal and plastic covering for raw, arthritic bone ends. It replaces cartilage that has worn away over the years. Hip replacement can eliminate pain and allow you to move easily with less discomfort. See similar questions...
