FLASHING INSTALLATION (V6F-10DM 

OR V12F-10DM)

Determine the flashing to be used with the 

roof opening chart. Slide flashing over pipe 

until  base  is  flat  against  roof.  Replace  as 

many shingles as needed to cover exposed 

area and flashing base. Secure in position by 

nailing through shingles (see Figure 15). DO 

NOT NAIL THROUGH FLASHING CONE.

Storm Collar Installation (SC2-1)

Place storm collar over pipe and slide down 

until it is snug against the open edge of the 

flashing  (see  Figure  16). Apply  waterproof 

caulk around the perimeter of the collar to 

provide a proper seal.

Installing Flashing on a Metal Roof

When installing the flashing on a metal roof, 

it is required that putty tape be used between 

the flashing and the roof. The flashing must be 

secured to the roof using #8 x 3/4" screws and 

then sealed with roof coating to prevent leak-

age through the screw holes. A roof coating 

must also be applied around the perimeter of 

the flashing to provide a proper seal.
