ABSTRACT:
A ridge cap has an upper surface and a lower surface which is adapted to be placed in contact with a roof of a building. The ridge cap also includes a longitudinal axis having a front end and a back end, as well as two sides located axially distal of the longitudinal axis. A central channel along the longitudinal axis is located in the lower surface. A protuding member extends from a surface of the central channel. Another surface of the central channel includes a notch adapted to receive the protuding member. The protuding member and the notch are adapted to cooperate so as to at least substantially block the central channel when the ridge cap is bent and a distal end of the protruding member is made to enter into the notch.
