E. Installing Metal Roof Flashing

Note: Skip this section if using the RF4-8.

See minimum vent heights for various pitched roofs (Figure 10.8) to determine the length of pipe to extend through the roof.

Slide the roof flashing over the pipe sections extending through the roof as shown in Figure 10.9.

NOTICE: Failure to properly caulk the roof flashing could cause water entry.

Caulk the gap between the roof flashing and the outside diameter of the pipe.

Caulk the perimeter of the flashing where it contacts the roof surface. See Figure 10.9.
