ABSTRACT:
A ventilating apparatus for a roof having a longitudinally extending ridge member and a vent opening substantially co-extensive with the ridge member, that in one embodiment includes a vent member mounted above the ridge member and extending longitudinally along the length of the vent opening, the vent member including a plurality of vent passages communicating the vent opening to ambient atmosphere; and the vent member including an upper wall, a pair of side walls, a pair of lower walls, and a pair of flexible mounting flanges that provide an adjustable mount to the roof on opposite sides of the vent opening. The vent member can accommodate vent openings of different widths. The ventilating apparatus also includes a capping structure extending longitudinally above the ridge member, covering the ridge member and the vent opening so that air ventilating from the vent opening passes within a space between said capping structure and the roof. The ventilating apparatus may further include a pair of deflector members mounted on opposite sides of the vent member with each of the deflector members extending outwardly beyond the respective side wall. The mounting flanges of the ventilating apparatus may be adjustably fixed to the vent member to permit the height of the ventilating apparatus to be adjusted.
