Review on 🏠 Oatey 14052 Retro Master Roof Flashing - Pipe Diameter 0.25"-5.75" - 8" x 8" Base (Black) by Ivan Carson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Super easy installation, highly recommend.

I have this to mount a TV antenna on my roof. The entire installation took about 10 minutes and it is airtight. When it arrived the metal rim was bent and I got scared, but then I took the time to read the actual instructions and realized it was meant to be molded under the roof, and well, yes. So it's easy to cut and fits perfectly in my antenna mast. The installation is quite easy. Cut out the required hole (on the small side), put it on a pole, vent pipe or other protrusion on the roof, and then seal the base with a non-petroleum product and screw it in. self-tapping screws. Since I wanted to use wood screws due to the roof construction, I pre-punched the screw holes with a center punch and then mounted and screwed with sealed stainless steel screws. You will survive the roof. It costs about four times the price of a cheap plastic self-adhesive boot at the big department store and is infinitely better. It is a malleable and flexible rubber that will not become brittle with age and will need to be replaced quickly.
