   I've used Coravent in applications like the one you describe with great success.

   Yes, cor-a-vent is one of the manufacturer's that I'm considering. I know that their x-5 system (with the flip vent) is good for harsh weather conditions, but does the vent function in light winds? The vent supposidly closes at 20mph. Guess I was wondering if the vent performs like the typical ridge vent (ie doesn't work below 20mph).

   Your login name has to be unique. Your nickname does not have to be unique. That's one reason I'm Uncle Dunc here instead of Bruce.

   Nothing wrong with Bruce. It's just that the voices told me not to use my real name here.

   So we share something in common.

   when calling in sick say the voices told me to clean all the guns.     Stolen from the voices thread.

   we've researched a lot of the claims and followed the topic since the early '70's... if you're going to use a ridgevent.. the best is Shingle Vent II   by Air-Vent.. which is now a Certainteed Company..

   but hey , whadda i no ?

   Yes, I have a sample of the shingle vent II. In fact it was the vent that I designed the ridge roll profile around. The sloped vent was causing me some grief though and I was hoping for a alternative. Guess that if this is the profile that I should be using, then I'll just have to deal with it.
