(Figure 7.12) to determine the length of pipe to extend
through the roof.
• Slide the roof flashing over the pipe sections extending
through the roof as shown in Figure 7.13.

NOTICE:
Failure to properly caulk the roof flashing and
pipe seams could permit entry of water.
• Caulk the gap between the roof flashing and the outside
diameter of the pipe.
• Caulk the perimeter of the flashing where it contacts the
roof surface. See Figure 7.13.
• Caulk the overlap seam of any exposed pipe sections
that are located above the roof line.

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.
• Slide the storm collar onto the exposed pipe section
and align brackets.
• Insert a bolt (provided) through the brackets and install
nut. Do not completely tighten.
• Slide the assembled storm collar down the pipe section
until it rests on the roof flashing (see Figure 7.14).
• Tighten nut and make sure the collar is tight against the
pipe section.
• Caulk around the top of the storm collar. See Figure 7.15.
* H minimum may vary depending on regional snowfall.
Refer to local codes.
