• the scope limitations of NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Paragraph 1.1 with regards to building height and floor plan area; and,
• with profiled metal roof cladding; and,
• situated in NZS 3604 Wind Zones up to, and including Extra High

• Building designers are responsible for incorporation of Roof Ventilation Products into their design for weathertightness and detailing of junctions.

VENT Ridge vent must be used in conjunction with other VENT products to ensure a complete ventilation system. Applying the VENT Ridge vent without unimpeded eaves ventilation can result in additional moisture being drawn into the roof cavity as a result of the negative pressure created by the prevailing wind.

In the opinion of BRANZ, Roof Ventilation Products, if designed, used, installed and maintained in accordance with the statements and conditions of this Appraisal, will meet or contribute to meeting the following provisions of the NZBC:

• Clause B1 STRUCTURE: Performance B1.3.1, B1.3.2 and B1.3.4. Roof Ventilation Products meet the requirements for loads arising from gravity loads, wind and impact [i.e. B1.3.3 (b), (h) and (j)]
• Clause B2 DURABILITY: Performance B2.3.1 (b) 15 years and B2.3.2. Roof Ventilation Products meet these requirements
• Clause E2 EXTERNAL MOISTURE: Performance E2.3.2. Roof Ventilation Products contribute to meeting this requirement
• Clause E3 INTERNAL MOISTURE: Performance E3.3.1. Roof Ventilation Products contribute to meeting this requirement
• Clause F2 HAZARDOUS BUILDING MATERIALS: Performance F2.3.1. Roof Ventilation Products meet this requirement

See BRANZ Appraisal 979 (2023) for full information.

The VENT Ridge vent (RV10P) has been designed and adapted to suit New Zealand building roofing products. The concept of Ridge Ventilation and the application of Ridge Vents has been standard practice in Canada, the USA and Europe for decades. Since the introduction of the Vent Ridge vent to New Zealand that coincided with the amendment of the New Zealand Building Code clause E3:AS1, the RV10P has been successfully installed on hundreds of New Zealand buildings.
