INSTALLATION

“ring”).

the tip portion of the pipe seal may be necessary to allow installation over the pipe).

CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
1. Remove all lead and other flashing.
2. Temperature of pipe must not exceed 180°F (82°C).
3. Install a minimum of four fastening plates around pipe penetrations. Position fastening plates
around penetrations so they are covered by the pre-molded pipe seal flange. A minimum 1.5 inch
wide weld must be maintained around the outer edge of the flange beyond the plates. If fastening
plates cannot be installed in a manner to allow a minimum 1.5 inch weld, the plates must be
placed outside the pipe seal flange and cover with a reinforced Flex TPO Plus overlay.
4. Install a section of the Flex TPO Plus Reinforced Membrane prior to installing a pre-molded pipe
flashing over splice intersection.
5. Store pre-molded pipe seals in a cool, shaded area and cover with light-colored, breathable,
waterproof tarpaulins. Flex pipe seals or membrane that has been exposed to the weather for
approximately 7 days or longer prior to use must be prepared with Weathered Membrane Cleaner
prior to hot air welding.
