Product Information

Full details

The Chimsoc High Temperature Rubber Pipe Flashing is designed for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts working on wood-burning or multi-fuel stove installations requiring a reliable roof seal. Its primary benefit is superior thermal endurance, capable of handling continuous heat up to 225°C, which makes it safer and more durable than standard EPDM alternatives for chimney and flue applications. One notable caveat is that users must ensure the pipe diameter falls strictly within the 110mm to 170mm range to maintain an airtight and weather-resistant seal.

FAQs

Can this be used on a flat roof?

Yes, the Chimsoc flashing is suitable for both flat and pitched roofs due to its flexible base.

Is this flashing suitable for gas vents?

Yes, while designed for high-heat wood stoves, it works perfectly for gas vents as well.

Do I need to apply sealant under the base?

It is highly recommended to use a suitable roofing sealant under the base to ensure a watertight seal against the roof material.

What tools are needed for installation?

You typically need a utility knife for trimming, a drill for fasteners, and a caulking gun for the roof sealant.

Can I trim the hole to fit a larger pipe?

No, you should never exceed the maximum 170mm diameter, as it will compromise the integrity and the sealing capacity of the rubber.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking at the base of the flashing

Ensure that enough high-quality roofing sealant was applied under the base and check that the fasteners are properly tightened.

Pipe feels loose in the collar

Verify the pipe diameter is at least 110mm. If it is within range, use a stainless steel gear clamp to tighten the collar firmly against the pipe.

Silicone surface appears dusty or dull

This is often a natural reaction to ozone and UV exposure; wipe with a damp cloth to clean, but no chemical cleaners are necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior thermal resistance compared to standard EPDM flashing
  • Highly flexible material allows for easy installation on uneven roof surfaces
  • Excellent durability against harsh weather, UV, and ozone exposure
  • Sleek and unobtrusive design aesthetic

Cons

  • Not suitable for pipes smaller than 110mm or larger than 170mm
  • Requires proper sealant application for a watertight bond
  • May require specific metal flashing kits for extreme slope angles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the roof surface around the pipe is clean, dry, and free of debris. Slide the flashing down the pipe until it rests firmly against the roof decking. Shape the base to the contour of the roof and secure it using appropriate mechanical fasteners or roof sealant, depending on the roofing material. Once positioned, apply a bead of high-temperature silicone sealant around the top collar where the pipe meets the rubber to prevent water runoff from entering. Periodically inspect the flashing annually for any signs of physical damage or degradation to ensure continued performance.
