How to install a pipe flashing on an existing shingled roof

#roofing #pipeflashing #plumbing
This video shows the process that I use to install a pipe flashing into an existing shingled roof. Sometimes I don't exactly know where I want to make a penetration through the roof decking for a plumbing vent until after the shingles are installed. I use this method quite a bit, actually. It may take a few more minutes than if you installed during the roofing installation, but it's not that big of a deal. I like this Oatey pipe flashing because you can replace the rubber gasket that seals around the pipe. Over time, weather in general, puts wear on the flexibility of the seal and can dry out and crack...thus creating a leak. But, with this type flashing changing out the gasket is a breeze. You don't have to replace the entire thing which can lead into more work (shingle repair) especially on older shingled roofs which tend to get brittle over time. So, if you haven't' used this type, I recommend that you try it out.
This is not a sponsored video. These are the products that I have chosen for the best results possible for this particular project. But, if anyone would like to sponsor W.K.D. Construction to use their products...then by all means, contact me! If I use a certain product, it's for a good reason. I stand behind all of my work and the products I install.

I like to watch videos like this occasionally as a reminder that no matter how much we as humans tend to think we have conquered nature, we still live in huts made out of sticks and mud with holes cut in top to let the poop smell out.

Great details, showing inside of the roof and outside! Thank you!

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Appreciate it, thanks for watching & for your kind donation! You have a great weekend boss

[@UntilItIsFinished]

Good video. I would have applied tar to those lower nails at a minimum. Too close to the shingle edges, and possible water/rust erosion for my liking. I may also have sealed around the shingle cut out for an extra barrier against lateral water movement. Keep up the good work.

Great video! Liked and subscribed. Excellent explanation of procedures, and good camerawork - being able to see exactly what you did all the way through is perfect. I'll probably have my phone up on the roof to watch this again pretty soon. 😉 Thank you for a straightforward video with no BS.

This was exactly what I needed! Followed it to the "T". Got it all done! Thanks much!

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Awesome! YW…Thanks for watching and the comment!

​@@w.k.d.constructionllccan I do this w abs too? How come no silicone?

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

@@Eastbaypisces the same steps yes, except for the piece that sticks up through the roof. I am not super familiar with ABS but what I have read it’s not very good when exposed to the elements. I would guess pvc needs to protrude through the roof? No silicone is needed if boot is installed and the job is done correctly.

[@Eastbaypisces]

@@w.k.d.constructionllc i ve only seen the flashing with space for pipe but haven't seen the boot thing, where u buy at

i told a customer i'd throw this up here for him and don't know how lol thank you for this video

[@Eastbaypisces]

​@@w.k.d.constructionllchow u slide pipe up with no help tho ?

[@Eastbaypisces]

​@@w.k.d.constructionllchow come u don't caulk around nails to be safe?

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

@@Eastbaypisces you can, but it’s not necessary. The shingles cover them up

[@Eastbaypisces]

@@w.k.d.constructionllc how should I hold flashing up when pushing pipe thru w just myself?

[@TheBeast-tj9qo]

I would've glued it also just for extra otherwise it looks good!

How do you get it underneath that many rows of shingles with a 3-foot stub out in cast iron that's pre installed?

[@HomeRapidRepair]

Great information and video

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Appreciate it and thanks for watching!

[@stazuote]

How long this rubber gasket lasts? Would it be better use the cap made from lead and fold that lead cap edge into the pipe?

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

15 years or better?

[@carlhungus2521]

I always use roofing silicone, under flashing and over any nails

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Not a fan of silicone anywhere. If it’s done correctly there should be no real need for it. You could dot the nail heads with it tho

[@opxey]

That san tee at the beginning is upside if it's a vent

[@serolog2]

Is the shingles tar line exposed? What am I missing?

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

No tar line exposed. Granule shadow line maybe is what you see?

[@timporterdevriese7194]

Should i look directly into the lazer thingy?

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Ha, probably not!

Milwaukee HOLE HOG is SAFER TO Use. slow rpm, It has a removable T handle . TWO GOOD FIRM PONTS OF GOOD HOLD ON grips. INTENDED to prevent it binding so no broken wrists or knocked out Apprentice who gets hit in the jaw with handle of an ordinary drill . Not to mention the 8 foot fall from the ladder as he hit the ground. LAYED there for 15 minutes knocked out , no one around. the Journeymen plumber yelled for him to finish drilling . After a really pissed off boss came down from roof to see WTF was going on, that knocked out young man was ME. 35 YEARS AGO. BOSS WAS MY UNCLE. 5 days in the hospital. Broken wrist, 4 fractured ribs and a concussion to boot. Uncle had three sons who hated working for" their Dad. Uncle gave Business to his niece , my wife….

[@GaryT1952]

Beautifully done...but on a high end job like that I would rather have a copper high hat flashing ...really sells the quality of the work you do

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Ehhh, if visible then yes…this is not

[@jfmaniac5118]

We have a couple guys over to do exactly this... I don't know WHAT they were doing with a damn sawzall up there.... sigh.

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Haha. They cut a square hole

[@RioWilliams797]

There’s nothing wrong with using a sawzall for this…..if they were to mess it up using a sawzall then honestly they would have be just as likely to screw it up with a hole saw.

[@freedomfighter1000]

Buy the rubber gasket now and store it in the attic so you got it when they are out of biz.

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

They won’t be, Oatey too big

[@kennethricher45]

Nothing like making a glory hole in your roof lol

[@TheBrandonHazel]

My problem is that rubber piece will not last 100 years. So when heavy rains come you can still get a small leak around that pipe. Installing after the roof was done makes me cringe because The metal flashing should be under the ice and water shield on the top half. Call it ugly all you want but I'd rather vent plumbing out the side of the house. One less hole in the roof makes me sleep better at night. Just my two cents.

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

The shingles won’t last 100 years either. The rubber is replaceable and is easy to do so. The wood sheathing is waterproof so no additional ice/water shield needed. Ya, I wouldn’t dare vent one out the side

[@feylezofriza]

Works at a demonic speed

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Haha, thanks for watching

[@reddye2331]

I would think for a proper draft/draw u would want to be a tiny bit up over the ridge of roof not below. At least this is what it is on a wood filed stove/heater

[@w.k.d.constructionllc]

Not necessary, it’s mainly there to suck air into the system to allow water to flow correctly.

[@h2s142]

Stop pushing and go in reverse when it bites to much

[@noahholt482]

Clean those gutters while your up there

Your usually 10x dead on with short vides is but your you missed on this long video. I felt like a dumb property owner watching the contractor with a shitty personality who is bothered when someone is watching . You didn’t show us what you were doing and didn’t describe it. I didn’t learn much from you on this brother. I still love you but as a fellow Tennessee home owner…
