Abstract
A single-piece vent baffle and method of installing a vent baffle. The vent baffle includes a main body portion and a tail portion and a first face and a second face. The main body portion includes at least one spacer extending from the first face. The vent baffle may be installed to an underside of a roof and to a wall plate by positioning the spacer adjacent the underside of the roof to create an air flow channel between the underside of the roof and the first face. The vent baffle blocks an opening between the roof and the wall plate while allowing ventilating air to flow through the air flow channel.
