Abstract: An insulation hold-down device is provided for insuring circulation of air through vents into the attics or similar spaces of buildings having insulation therein. The hold-down device has a center insulation restraining section and two end attachment flanges. One flange is attached by nailing or other conventional device to the bearing plate of a building while the other attachment flange is attached to the roof panel of the building between rafters. The hold-down device may be formed by stamping from a single piece of sheet metal.
