DCI Products FasciaVent - Manual

“BEHIND THE GUTTER” FASCIAVENT
1. Cut a 1” slot at the fascia board where it meets the roof edge. Start 6” from any edge,
side, or corner and make the slot continuous. Seal the open ends with the included End
Caps or fabric.
2. Install the FasciaVent with the lift resting on the fascia board as shown. Secure the
FasciaVent to the fascia board using a minimum of 1 ¼” roofing nails. Staple or nail the
tapered edge of FasciaVent to the roof decking. Extend FasciaVent even with side edges
of fascia and bottom of the gutter.
3. Install the rolled ice shield or tar paper over FasciaVent. Begin shingling leaving a 1”
overhang at the roof/soffit edge.
4. Install gutter using brackets of choice. Ensure that the nails or screws enter the full depth
of the wood fascia board below the 1” cutout.
5. Air now enters under and behind the gutter and into your attic. The metal gutter is also
away from the wood fascia board eliminating wood decay of the fascia board and acting
as a roof/fascia drip edge.
