Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Steps:
- Select the correct diameter ring on the boot and trim with a sharp utility knife.
- Slide the boot down over the pipe until it rests flush against the roof surface.
- Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the underside of the aluminum base flange.
- Secure the base to the roof using fasteners placed roughly every 1.5 to 2 inches.
- Apply a final bead of sealant around the top of the boot where it meets the pipe.
Care and Maintenance:
Periodically inspect the seal for any signs of cracking or UV degradation. Clear debris or leaf buildup around the base to prevent water pooling. If the sealant appears to be drying out over several years, clean the area and apply a fresh layer of UV-resistant roofing caulk to maintain the integrity of the barrier.
