GAF Introduces New Hip Vent from Cobra®

Homeowners want the peace of mind of a quality roof overhead. But what if your roof isn’t a standard shape or pitch?
GAF Roofing is proud to introduce its new Cobra® Hip Vent. A hip vent is specifically created to help ventilate houses without a natural ridge, or “point”, in its structure. Most houses have a built-in ridge where a standard ridge vent can be installed. Hip vents are great solutions to provide the proper attic ventilation solution and protect your home and roofing deck from the effects of weather.
The new Cobra® Hip Vent allows nine square inches of net free ventilation area for exceptional attic venting. Because of its relatively short stature at 5/8″, the Cobra® Hip Vent is virtually undetectable from ground level. The angle and position of the Cobra® Hip Vent prevents ice damming through extreme winter conditions.
The Cobra® Hip Vent also includes a Dual Weather Fighter Filter to protect against insects, debris, and water invasion around the vent opening. The unobstructed vent design allows continual air flow to protect against rot and mold conditions. The Cobra® Hip Vent comes with a Lifetime limited warranty when installed on Lifetime Shingle roofs.
The install process of the Cobra Hip Vent is easy with 3 coils of 1 3/4″ corrosion-resistant nails included for quick installation over flashing. With flexible installation, quality air flow, and energy efficient design, the new Cobra® Hip Vent is a great solution to extend and protect the quality of your roof and attic.
