Attic & Fan vents | Ask The Experts Forum

Eric Haskins 4/18/2017	Ok I am putting on 3 rib galvalume on my mfg house. The mafg gave me 6 gooseneck vents for the attic vents ...... not one person has a consensus on how these should be installed. 1)Some say cut a panel and drop over with flashing above and caulk. 2)Others say screw backend of vent in then notch a lower panel slide under the front of the vent. then notch another panel and come down over the vent sides and overlap the bottom panel 2 seems like the more plausible one but it leave a gap in the front cause the vents are on top of a corregation to me wind will blow the rain up there , yes there will be caulk but still dont caulk your way into trouble. secondly that gap will catch wind.........

Eric Novotny An informed customer is the Best Customer! 4/25/2017	Each manufacturer will have very specific instructions and consumables (i.e. underpans in many cases) to work with your venting requirements. Have you considered a full width ridge vent?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/22005/find/
