How Parapet Passive Ventilation Works:
WickRight Parapet Vent products protect against moisture intrusion, yet allow airflow across and into parapet by 7.2 cpm per lineal foot with an 18 mph wind, produces a lift force of 7.87 lbf to draw moisture vapor up and out of masonry walls.
WickRight Passive Ventilation is field proven in over 100 buildings in Chicago, Milwaukee, Tampa, Central Ohio and Northern California.
How Low-Slope Roof Vent Works:
Patented WickRight Low-Slope Roof Vent exhausts heat from under the roof membrane and beneath the plywood roof deck and interstitial roof space. It eliminates condensation build-up, which significantly extends the life of roof membranes, plywood sheathing and insulation. Low-Slope Roof Vent also provides an interior rain screen for walls, allows moisture vapor to exit and separates the roof space from the masonry to keep it dry.
Low-Slope Roof Vent works in conjunction with WickRight Parapet Vents, including Vented Receiver Clip, WickRight Metal Coping Vent, WickRight Clay Coping Vent. We recommend combining parapet and roof passive ventilation systems to maximize drying effect.
Consider also installing our Roof Vent extension (add to your order for an additional $25 per 100 ft) into the roof system to separate insulation from masonry walls — call for details.
- Install vertically against parapet wall at the junction of wall and roof deck on low-slope roof buildings.
- Modified Bitumen can be torched directly to the 1/2″ Polyiso Coverboard side of WickRight Low-Slope Roof Vent.
- No primer needed
- No roof termination bar is needed
- Low-Slope Roof Vent should also be installed against Mechanical and Stairwell buildings to maximize passive ventilation of the entire roof system. Call to discuss the construction of your roof top buildings. Buildings with siding require different counter flashing profile.
