How To Install

Learn about our other ventilation products featuring our exclusive nonwoven polyester material, for long-lasting resiliency, moisture prevention, and energy efficiency.

Step 1

If not pre-cut, use a circular saw and carbide blade to open a 2” slot (1” on each side of ridge) starting and ending 6” from where hip and ridge vent begin and end. (For roof with center beam, open a 3 1/2” slot, 1 3/4” on each side of the ridge.)

Step 2

Cover entire ridge with Python material along the entire length of the slot.

Step 3

Use roofing nails to tack the vent in place and caulk ends together if ridge length is longer than a roll of Python. Install ridge caps over the Python ridge vent, taking care to not overdrive roofing nails.
