mridgeelk Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I don't believe that this roof jack flashing installed on the B-vent is correct. Is it correct and and if it isn't where is the regulation stating so? Thanks, Ed Image Insert: 151.85 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hi, Go here and look at item #2 http://www.plumbingsupply.com/roofflashings.html I didn't know the answer - I found this in 20 seconds by googling "plumbing flashings".

Chad Fabry Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 The big pipe is the B vent? Are you asking about clearance to combustibles or are you asking about crappy fit on the plumbing vent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mridgeelk Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Thanks for the tip, Mike. I did note the prolapsed flashing on the plumbing.

Are you asking about clearance to combustibles or are you asking about crappy fit on the plumbing vent? Personally, I wouldn't be concerned with temps at the roof with that flashing. That stuff is rated for over 250°F and I don't think I've ever had a B vent anywhere near that hot at a roofline. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Phillip Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 In my areas the one I have seen for B vent is a red looking one. I do not remember who makes it. This link will take you to more flashing. http://pipebootexpress.com/?gclid=CKfYu ... FQodkVt8_A If you will look in the roof forum you will find where I posted a photo and we talked about flashing.

Bill Kibbel Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Phillip is correct, we just did this recently: https://www.inspectorsjournal.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7151 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mridgeelk Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Thanks for all the info, I had not seen the previous discussion. About a month ago I found a similar installation only this was on triple wall pipe from a wood stove. I wrote this as incorrect.
