• See minimum vent heights for various pitched roofs

(Figure 10.11) to determine the length of pipe to extend
through the roof.

• Slide the roof fl ashing over the pipe sections extending

through the roof as shown in Figure 10.12.

Roof Pitch H (Min.) Ft.
Flat to 6/12........................................ 1.0*
Over 6/12 to 7/12 ............................ 1.25*
Over 7/12 to 8/12 .............................. 1.5*
Over 8/12 to 9/12 .............................. 2.0*
Over 9/12 to 10/12 ............................. 2.5

G. Assemble and Install Storm Collar

CAUTION! Risk of Cuts, Abrasions or Flying Debris.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during instal-
lation. Sheet metal edges are sharp.

• Connect both halves of the storm collar with two screws

(see Figure 10.13).

• Wrap the storm collar around the exposed pipe section

closest to the roof and align brackets. Insert a bolt
(provided) through the brackets and tighten the nut to
complete the storm collar assembly. Make sure the collar
is tight against the pipe section.

• Slide the assembled storm collar down the pipe section

until it rests on the roof fl ashing (see Figure 10.14).

• Caulk around the top of the storm collar (see Figure 10.15).

CAULK

NOTICE: Failure to properly caulk the roof fl ashing and
pipe seams may permit entry of water.

• Caulk the gap between the roof fl ashing and the outside

diameter of the pipe.

• Caulk the perimeter of the fl ashing where it contacts the

roof surface. See Figure 10.12.

• Caulk the overlap seam of any exposed pipe sections

that are located above the roof line.
