Jim Baird Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 A new one for me. This is a vent terminal for a gas water heater. Uphill you can see the roofer's effort to divert a wide steep valley's focused runoff which cascades onto the roof a few feet up.

John Dirks Jr Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Shouldn't the water heater vent terminate at least 1' above the point where it penetrates the roof? That termination hood is the type used for bathroom fans and clothes dryers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Exactly, John. It was so glued up with inches of silicone glob to that sheet metal I could not see the whole thing. I think it might be just a turtle-back stationary vent for attic venting. Below, in the utility room, the particle board walls looked like they had been fire-hosed. This assembly is part of a larger whole that I recommended demolition for and a fresh start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
