Extreme weather conditions across the
country has increased the demand for a
weather resistant vent. Durao hasdeveloped
the WeatherPRO® Series line of roof vents,
which are available now through your local
distributor or retail store.
With the WeatherPRO® Series, you no longer
need to worry about extreme weather. Designed
to allow for high volumes of airow, while
providing excellent defence against weather
inltration, the patented WeatherPRO® internal
baes deect water and snow allowing for
harmless draining out the drainage openings.The
WeatherPRO® series also incorporates a patent
pending moisture control system which directs
precipitation away from the vent openings.
Combining manufacturing quality, with
Durao WeatherPRO® technology, and a patent
pending moisture control system, will ensure
the WeatherPRO® Series is the rst choice when
weather inltration is an issue.

Injection molded from pure, high grade polypropylene with premium UV inhibitor additives
that blocks harmful UV Rays.
•Over 15 years of accelerated
weathering testing
•Customized UV inhibitor package in all
molded products
•All colours contain UV inhibitors
•CSA evaluated
Evaluated and passed based on
the following criteria:
•ASTM G 155 Accelerated Weathering
•ASTM D 638 Tensile Strength Dierence
•ASTM D 2843 Smoke Density Rating
•ASTM D 635 Rate of Burning
Material & UV Protection
Material - Cold Impact Tested
WeatherPRO® Upward Venting
The solid sidewalls and upward venting design behind the WeatherPRO® vents have been engineered to increase
weather protection while improving ventilation in high wind areas. The solid sidewalls work in part with the interior
baes, providing the rst line of defense against driving rain and snow. The solid sidewalls also act to push wind up
and over the cap of the vent, as opposed to under, like a traditional roof vent. This airow over the cap of the vent
creates negative pressure to draw air from the attic.
The WeatherPRO® line of vents are manufactured from all virgin polypropylene allowing them to withstand the most
extreme climates. The material used in manufacturing the WeatherPRO® Series is cold impact tested at -40 degrees.
The material remains functional, exible and resilient to damage even when installed with a nail gun.

Ventilation requirements for your home
The included ventilation calculator is only a guide, please consult your local building code for specic ventilation requirements.
A home requires an equal amount of intake
(soffit) & exhaust (roof) ventilation.
Note: Roof pitches under 4/12 require double the amount of ventilation.

For New Construction
Note: PROVentilator placement
and the balancing of intake and
exhaust venting are extremely
important in achieving ideal
ventilator performance. For more

INSTALLATION - PROTurbo
For New Construction
Installation of Durao WeatherPRO®
PROTurbo should comply with all
local standards and regulations.
Before beginning a job, determine
how much ventilation is required in
bothsotandroofventsandwhat
sizes of vent would best suit the job.
If required, refer to Durao Ventilation
Calculator for guidance.

For New Construction or Re-Roong
1. Determine the location of vents:
Evenly space the roof vents along the width of
the roof, marking the location of all roof vents
before cutting holes. Centre the holes between
 therafterswithintwofeet(24”)(61cm)from
the peak of the roof.
Cut and prepare the opening:
Cut the holes in the sheathing before applying
 shingles,cuta6-1/2”x8-1/2”(16.5cmx21.6cm)
opening. Shingle up until the rst full course of
shingles covers the bottom of the hole. Cut the
excess shingles away from the hole.
2. Position the vent and nail the vent
in place:
Durao Roof Vents have a top arrow indicator.
Make sure the throat of the vent is in the proper
position centered over the opening. Using the
pre-marked nail holes, nail the vent securely
into place.
3. Complete the shingle installation:
Continue installing shingles, overlapping
the ange of the vent. Cut the shingles around
the top of the vent to match its shape.
Installation of Durao WeatherPRO® SlantBack Vent should comply with all local standards and regulations.

Caution: DO NOT USE roong cement /
roong tar to seal the vent to the roof. The
wide ange and molded-in water guards
will force the water down the roof over
the shingles. The polypropylene ange
is large enough and exible enough to
eectively self seal against the roof without
the aid of roong tars. Roong tars are
potentially damaging to the roof vent and
the asphalt shingles. Use of roong tar
will void any warranty on the Durao Roof
Vents. Optional: Seal all nail heads with an
approved sealant, such as silicone. Make
sure the sealant is a non-petroleum product
(usuallyavailableinaplastictube).

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Step 1.
Cut a slot in sheathing along the ridge 2”(5 cm) wide 1” (2.5 cm)
on each side of peak).
If ridge beam is present, cut a slot 1”(2.5 cm) wide on each side of the
beam. A closed area of sheathing 12”(30.5 cm) in length should be at
both ends of ridge. The 12” (30.5cm) area should be coverd to prevent
inltration.
Step 2.
For step 2 it is recommended a chalk line be used to ensure the ridge
vent is installed straight along the roof peak.
Place the rst piece of vent with female end 1/2” (1.3 cm) from the
gable end. On one side of the peak fasten the rst piece using nails at
each end and in middle sections. Fold the vent over the peak and
fasten the second side using the same nail pattern. (2” (5 cm) nails are
minimum length). Continue installing additional pieces along
ridge connecting the female end over the male end.
Step 3.
When reaching the ridge end, the last vent section may need to
be cut to length. There are molded-in end caps every 3” (7.6 cm) on the
underside of the ridge vent. Measure and cut amount needed to
install to within 1/2” (1.3 cm) of ridge end.
After fastening the ridge vent to the roof peak install ridge caps
using a min 2” (5 cm) nail. The ridge caps should be centered on the
vent and sit between the outer raised bae walls.
