Installation Instructions
1. Pipe Preparation
Remove up to three courses of shingles above the existing pipe flashing
to ensure that the back flange is covered by the shingles. Remove the
existing pipe flashing and remove any old roof cement. Apply roofing
cement around the pipe and underlayment, as it penetrates the roof to
create a weather seal. If necessary, install new shingles up to the pipe
penetration and notch shingles around the plumbing pipe.
2. Pipe Boot Preparation
On painted Pipe Boots, remove the protective plastic layer. Place new
pipe boot next to plumbing pipe and visually check pitch alignment. If
pitch adjustment is needed, pinch front corners to increase the pitch or
push down on the front of the Pipe Boot to decrease the pitch.
The plumbing pipe should extend enough (2” to 3”) above the base
sleeve to allow for roof expansion and contraction.
3. Pipe Boot Placement
Apply a bead of a polyurethane sealant on the rim of the plumbing pipe.
Place the Pipe Boot over the plumbing pipe seating the TightLOCK
™
Top
on to the pipe. Turn the top clockwise 1/8” so that the TightLOCK Top is
secured. Nail the base to the roof using the embossed guides. Install two
nails into flange on the back of the base.
4. Finishing
Continue installing shingles, lap the shingles over the side and back
flanges (notch as required). Apply a bead of sealant to the exposed nail
heads on the base.
