Choosing the correct roof flashing is crucial for a watertight and durable installation. Consider the following factors when selecting your Oatey roof flashing:
- Determine the Pipe Size: Measure the interior diameter of the pipe requiring flashing. Oatey offers a variety of flashing collars for different pipe diameters, typically ranging from 1/2 inch to 4 inches. Self-sealing collars require no caulking and easily slide over pipes.
- Determine Roof Pitch: Most flashings are designed for roofs with a pitch up to 40 degrees. If your roof has a steeper pitch (more than 40 degrees), select an Oatey High Rise flashing.
- Choose the Base Size of the Flashing: The base size is usually determined by local building codes. It is recommended to check with your local jurisdiction to find the proper base size. Oatey offers a variety of base sizes, including 10 in. x 13-1/4 in., 11 in. x 14-1/2 in., 11 in. x 15 in., 11-1/2 in. x 14 in., 12 in. x 15 in., 12 in. x 16 in., 18 in. x 18 in., 9 in. x 11 in., 9 in. x 12-1/2 in., and 9-1/4 in. x 13 in.
- Choose the Material Type of the Flashing's Base: Oatey offers various base materials, including aluminum, copper, galvanized steel, and plastic. Many choose a material that matches or blends with the color of their shingles for aesthetic reasons. Others prefer a durable plastic base for its flexibility and ease of installation.
- Determine Any Other Factors: Consider environmental factors such as temperature, UV exposure, and proximity to saltwater, as these may affect the flashing's performance and longevity. Oatey offers flashings suitable for every scenario, including side flashings, solar flashings, and Master Flashings for metal roofs.

Installationsanleitung
Proper installation of the Oatey 14090 Aluminum Roof Flashing is essential for ensuring a watertight seal and long-term performance. Follow these steps carefully:
- Prepare the Roof: Ensure the roof area around the penetration is clear of debris. A waterproof underlayment should already be applied.
- Bereiten Sie die Pipeline vor: Chamfer the end of the pipe that will pass through the flashing. This helps prevent damage to the flashing collar during installation.
- Install Shingles: Install shingles in rows, starting from the bottom of the roof and working upwards towards the pipe penetration. Overlap the row below for good waterproofing qualities.
- Position the Flashing: Once you are near the pipe penetration, push the flashing down over the chamfered pipe end. Position the flashing flush against the waterproof layer and shingles.
- Secure the Flashing: Secure the flashing using roofing nails. These nails should be concealed under the next few rows of shingles to maintain a leak-free roofing system.
- Complete Shingle Installation: Continue installing shingles in rows up to the top of the roof, ensuring proper overlap and sealing around the flashing.
- Auf Dichtheit prüfen: After installation, test the flashing by running water over it from a hose for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure there are no leaks.
