Products with membrane must have an end cap inserted at the end of each section. Apply sealant to the roof shingles, before installing the vent filling any voids between the bottom of the vent and the surface of the shingle. Use high-density polyethylene (HDPE)-compatible sealants that conform to ASTM C920.
4.	End Cap, Vent and Flashing Installation: Pull apart a precut section of the foam end cap found with the vent. Trim enclosed end caps to fit at each end of the vent. Using a utility knife, make a cut in the membrane material 1/2 inch (12.5 mm) on the side with the air return, back from the end of the section. Using construction adhesive or sealant, coat both sides of the membrane where it has been cut back at the end of the vent. Insert the foam end cap with the cut back material between the foam end cap and the underside of the vent to assure a weather tight seal. Install foam end caps at the end of roof and where Quarrix ridge vents are joined together.
