I’ve noticed that in just about every video you do I learn something new, even if it’s just a little useful tip

@Ty1on3twelve Год назад

Great tip. I never thought about installing boot/vent flashing using the diamond installation method. It makes perfect since. Thanks for sharing.

@MrYandel85 Год назад

As a roofer, I'm glad to see another roofer doing an excellent job. lots of people out there doing crap jobs 😂

Nice job very good video very interesting and informative and very well executed. My name is Gary from the UK retired plumbing and heating engineer, keep up the good work with the videos

@dougdiplacido2406 Год назад

Great lesson on the flashing. I like the idea of the boot that goes up and over the pipe. The pvc expands and contracts a lot and it would prevent the regular boot from wearing out.

@ted7x Год назад

Fantastic video been wondering about the best way to do this for a while and now I don't need to wonder anymore thank you so much for sharing so much great info over the years, perfect workmanship and great way of explaining everything!

@webshepherd1852 3 месяца назад

Thanks! Great information, especially installing with the diamond pattern.

@2loco Год назад

Excellent job Kyle. I regularly vent rangehoods through the roof with 200mm wide flue. We use corrugated iron roofs here so when I do this, i get a flat sheet of iron made up and colour matched to roof. I bring the flue out through that to prevent a dam forming up behind the boot. It doesn't look very pretty as the flat sheet stands out, so I usually bring the flue out close to the Ridge to keep the flat sheet as minimal as possible. I'm no roofing expert but this works well for me.

@hughprivette4212 Год назад

Very good sir! Plane and simple. Heading to the hardware store now for the roof boot…I just like saying roof boot, just learned this term today, and this definitely helps when I install my roof boot! Be careful on those roofs, installing those roof boots with your magnet roof boots! You might need to invest in some magnetic knee pads for when you install your next…. roof boot! ✌🏻

@steveanderson4768 Год назад

Never thought of putting it on the rip, but it makes sense you’re giving the running water, a place to escape rather than putting its square on the roof you put it out and angle now the water sheds off and around versus damning up and a potential leak makes a lot of sense

@jerrymoore-nk7tv Год назад

Thank you for this video because I here metal roof no good because it always leaks around penetration I trust your work so now I feel there is a correct way to do it

@dzaino1986 Год назад

Another fine demonstration Kyle. Out of curiosity, have you ever thought of using Dycor self-leveling compound on boot installs like this? It's the same product that's all over your skylights and penetrations on your RV. It's a fantastic product which also bonds to most surfaces and requires zero maintenance. Anyway, keep up on the "perfect house" project. Hopefully we get a walk-through in the end.

@ManuelMartinez-so1dp Год назад

Good stuff Kyle!!

@BraxxJuventa Год назад

@greenshieldroofing8792 Год назад

I love your work ,I always install the boots on a Diamond but never thought about using the butyl tape .

@medamit 11 месяцев назад

I wouldn't use butyl tape. The so called roofer who did my roof used butyl to seal the boots and that stuff will eventually squeeze out and harden up and you will have leaks. It's also a pain to scrape off when you have to replace the boot and do it right. Damn near all the RV's used to have butyl at the seams and they all leaked after 8-10 years.

@douglasrenkema Год назад

Very nice 😊 excellent video

@Price1861 Год назад

I agree with the install and install them the exact same way. However, I like to put the Lexel on the pipe and push the boot onto the Lexel. This helps keep the Lexel out of UV light and is an extra insurance policy. Roofing caulking has historically had issues with UV light. Rule of thumb when roofing has always been to use calking as an insurance policy not as a primary method of water proofing. Flashing is used to water proof. Caulking is used generally used underneath flashing to help keep it water tight. With all that being said Through the roof and lexel are great products. Never had an issue with them deteriorating because of UV light. But it still is good practice to try and keep them out of UV light. Cheers.

@Foche_T._Schitt Год назад

Put on a second boot without the flange over the first to protect it from UV light.

@Ketoinvestor Год назад

Maybe even get a light gray or white one 👍

@warrenmichael918 Год назад

I see this around here, guys that are installing metal roofs on houses do this.

@ALPAmultiservice Год назад

Good job. If you wanted to make a further refinement and you would have the maximum certainty of avoiding infiltration, you could create a small lip in the upper arch of the hole by bending the sheet metal of the roof, taking care not to tear it. in this way, even if the external sealing were to give way for any reason and a few drops of water would enter, it would have the possibility to flow laterally to the hole and not enter the house.

@mikenicholson2548 Год назад

Kyle, we never ever put the boot on a rib. We only use round boots. They fit perfectly between the ribs. We also don't use bulent tape. We us thru the roof chalking. Have seen alot of boots leak on a rib due to expansion and contraction. Will always leak at the bottom of the rib. Also I seal around the pipe with thru the roof before I put the boot on for added protection. Just my two cents.

@GlenS123 Год назад

I have always put on a rib, diamond pattern. Water has more space to go around, diverts it. I personally put sealant under boot and a drip ring bedded with sealant.

@justinballard7242 Год назад

I just did this Friday. I was pretty nervous about it. I don't like holes in the roof. Lexel around the flange also screwed down. I'm pretty confident in it lasting a long time. My flashing fit between the ribs just fine also.

@jwristen24 Год назад

Yeah I try to eliminate any penetrations on the roof in the design phase if possible.

@fidgetteneckwedge1418 10 месяцев назад

I'm not sure which metal roofing you used and the base diameter of your pipe boot. In my instance, my roof penetration fell right on the edge of a lap seam. My roof penetration is on my second sheet of metal, right next to the seam edge where my 3rd sheet is laid. My pipe is just under 5" OD, and the pipe boots available all have bases of 8"x8". My metal has ribs every 9 inches (Pro Rib from Menards). So not only does my boot not fit in a plane without creating a dam, circle or square...Lay out put the boot on a lap seam. My idea is to start the 1st piece of metal as a half sheet. This puts my pipe penetration in the middle of my second sheet and not on a lap seam. Diamonding a square 8'x8" boot should divert water away like is shown in this video.

@thim8009 Год назад

Thanks, I have to put a wood burning chimney pipe through my roof, I've never seen anyone turn it like a diamond like that. Makes sense.

@mattwilkins1597 Год назад

For extra sealing put a bead of sealant around the pipe before you pull the boot down. It will help seal that lip of the boot.

@travisst-jacques.4838 10 месяцев назад

I seal the pipe with silicone as well in case ice breaks the boot 10 years down the road .

@CorwinBos Год назад

Lexel, best caulk ever. I wish you could get it in more colors.

@roscoesimpson2639 Год назад

Great video Kyle, just wondered if you mentioned not to drill down through where two pieces of metal roofing come together? And also it would be easier to start a hole without the hole saw on there just use your quarter-inch bit and after you get a pilot hole drilled then put your hole saw on. Also if you happen to have a battery angle drill, it's a lot easier on your wrist. Thanks again

@jwristen24 Год назад

Nice work Kyle. I always try to eliminate any penetrations on the roof if possible in the design phase.

@fredericrike5974 Год назад

If it has any plumbing that is a non starter. Most muni codes will not let you run a plumbing vent out through a sidewall. An appliance vent can be run through an outside wall.

@scr1648 Год назад

Thank you for sealing the boot! As a roofer I constantly find boots are leaking around the pipe. I typically seal the pipe with mastic before installing the boot as the secondary protection then on top. I like you sealed the tape though. I don’t have that luxury with the products we use.

@mikekiehnau1851 5 месяцев назад

I've had my boot fixed 3 times cause it leaks around the pipe and every time, it still leaks. Thankful for this video and all the good reviews.

@tigerseye73 6 месяцев назад

Placing the boot on diamond is beneficial even on a ribless shingle roof, asphalt or metal. For sure helps guide water away from the upper edge of the boot.

On a hidden fastener roof, you have 12-16" between ribs. Most boots will fit between with diamond installation.

@kendawg5679 Год назад

@Ketoinvestor Год назад

Belt + Suspenders! Nice, and I see absolutely no problem with that install. My question, maybe for a larger boot with more edge to lay down, what if you used straight pieces of mending plate AKA framing angle to really lay on top of the boot and put pressure down into ‘the valley’ of that double-bead butyl tape in a continuous way? Would that actually provide extra insurance or just cause unnecessary work/problems?

@warrenmichael918 Год назад

Im thinking the plate or angle would be just adding another piece to a puzzle that doesnt need to be there.

@medamit 11 месяцев назад

What happens when you have to replace it? The screws being so close together like that you would have to try and hit the same holes. What would you do in that situation? Asking because I have to replace one and the screws are right next to each other and there's no room between them for new holes.

@redsresearch 6 месяцев назад

@hustlin513 Месяц назад

I recently bought a home that needs the boots replaced. The pipes are placed where they aren't on the rib so some "daming" could occur. Any tips for how I should help prevent that? I already purchased some circular boots to replace the old ones.

ICC P3103.1 clearly allows venting out a sidewall. When I build, I will not be penetrating my roof... I will go toe to toe with the building inspector if I have to. A single penetration like that can turn a 100 year roof into a 5 year roof.

@NHPlumber Год назад

As a plumber, I was taught not to use PVC through the roof on a metal roof. When ice and snow slide down, it can cut off the pipe. If you live in an area that doesn't get snow, then I guess it doesn't matter.

@RRBuildings Год назад

@Ed-jg3ud Год назад

Moral of the story- be exacting and particular in the design phase about venting everything thru vertical side walls to avoid horizontal roof vents & get code approval. If u truly want the bomber install that is by far the best and well worth it strategy

@bertscharff7844 Год назад

UPC allows side venting. Upsize in freezing zones + bird screen + opening’s (windows, doors, soffit vents) min distance. My metal roof has zero penetrations. Furnace, dwv vents and gas fireplace all side vents. Don’t let your plumber get away with the easy path
