How to installing metal roofing around electrical mast.

Apply sealant to underside of base and secure base with roofing nails. Use caulk on the seams on slopes below 3 12. Steve yes use a dektite retrofit for the electrical conduit. Apply sealant around the top of the electrical mast flashing where it meets the pipe.

For flat roof installations the seams should be soldered closed. Run a full width panel 6 past the conduit notch for the conduit. Place the first screw about 7 inches from the bottom and each subsequent screw about 18 to 24 inches apart along the vertical run. The new mast must run through the roof old one wasnt and the roof is corrugated metal with 7 gaps between ribs.

He ll make a custom lead boot for me every time and install it so it don t leak. Anyway drill a hole in the panel drop it down over the mast snap and screw it in place install the boot over a bead of sealant screw the boot down and call the poco to come and get you back on the grid. The mast is about 5ft down from the ridge and 1 5 2ft in from edge of shingles. Install the roofing screws vertically along each rib in the panel.

What brand of metal are you going to use. When there is a corrugated roof or a ceramic tile roof to deal with i just bring in my bro john the roofer who has an entire sheet metal shop business going on also.

I fixed a few things at his house he fixes a few roof penetrations for me. Secure the screws but do not overtighten. Cut flashing opening to appropriate size for pipe.

Apply two rows of good quality butyl tape or silicone caulk across the full width of the panel. It has been reroofed once asphalt 3 tab. I am installing a metal roof over the existing 3 tab shingles. My question is how is it recomended or done with an existing power mast.

It will work fine on any roof slope between 3 12 and up to 10 12. Ive done countless service upgrades drilling through roofs and mounting the standard flashing but the problem is they have all been shingle roofs. Install a panel from the conduit to the ridge.
