Love the detail in this video. Great presentation and it has gone along way to making me feel more comfortable about the metal roofing projects that I have coming up. Answers a lot of questions!

I liked the details. I had a steel roof installed a few months ago. I'm going to check my vents and see how well they did the work.

Great video. I'm actually gonna run into this problem this week and I love this detail.

Man! So I had a plumber vent my pipe right next to the rib like you have here in the video. I tried a boot on there but it looks like poop and just isn’t gonna work. Your video is the only in depth one I see on KZread explaining in detail how to fix it. Gonna get on this right away. Excellent video, very detailed. I wish the camera would have shown from the top looking down to see where the Z track met the rib. Thanks buddy

Excellent explanation and detail. many thanks !!

I don't do metal roofs but I enjoyed watching your video!👍

Good stuff brother 🙏

Clean job👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks so much! as a temporary stopgap measure, I might just put a squirt of that solar seal right where the boot is crimped over the seam and leaving an air gap. Or a squished up ball of butyl tape like you described. Longer term. I think I might get a small metal brake and try just what you showed.

Fantastic info! Thank you so much.

It was able to be sealed and monitored all the way around before. Now, it is all dependent on the seam(s) of the z bar, which are now out of sight and reach to reseal.

Boy someone really did a crappy job installing those how did they get by with it being left like that really horrible just looking at those .You can tell you really know your stuff Great job you did

This is a GREAT IDEA! THANK YOU!! LOOKS PERFECT

Don't forget to seal (Along the edges) of the upper 2 pieces of z bar to the roof & where the upper corner of z bar intersects the rib.

Fantastic work.

Glad you enjoyed it!

A bar at the ribs with the seam sealer scares me a little bit. You’re clearly a very good carpenter tho man respect

This guy seemed like he was learning himself during the video! The last method of marking out zbar seemed a lot more practical. That would drive me crazy as a home owner seeing those details not line up.

No he definitely seemed like a pro that has done this countless times. Not a wasted movement.

Guys should be required to move pipes if Necessary to put boots on the flat. The siphon notch on the over lap of screw down metal can even be an issue. This one, even after he re-did it is still so-so, because of the over lap.

nice

2:53 he explains the problem, then at 25:05 he makes the same mistake he tried to prevent.

First time I see a pipe boot installed like that, interesting stuff but i don't do metal roofs, can you imagine doing this same repair on a metal roof 2 story high at a 12/12 pitch?

10 years later on my DIY standing seam snaploc 22-squares roof I realize I installed the seam boots wrong. Gonna have to pull them off and do what this video shows...

I have not seen this technique before on you tube. If this is the "correct way" to install the vent, why does MFG shows it installed on a rib? (they say form to rib) I had one leaking and the previous install just used too few screws. They also used long ones which was also excessive.

What is that platform your standing on. I have a metal roof on my barn that needs a small repair but I'm concerned I'll slide off. What's the secret to walking on a metal roof safely?

I guess I missed it but how does this solve the issue of the water coming in from inside the rib?

There's still the same problem. From the upper side from the. Rib. He didn't do any good. At least. Got the Booth. To lay down straight. I'm not convinced it's the right way. I would move the PVC pipe to the center of the panel

Never installed a metal roof and never will but that was interesting😄

Do you need a steeper angle boot?

Yeh should've left it alone. Very creative though

Well... you said "installed incorrectly." Not sure about that. You had to muscle those off, and they wouldn't have leaked for 25 years. Sure yours is nicer. But ugly and works doesnt mean incorrect. Just sayin

Well it’s installed incorrectly when it leaks, which like he said all during the intro was all wet inside the boot. Just because it’s hard to get off doesn’t mean installed correctly. Ugly and leaks is far from correct or professional, just sayin.

Look at it it's pouring out like a geyser hehehehe

Put duct tape on your tools to stop the scratching. 👍

i can put the boot on a rib ... you have to caulk the rib from the boot to the ridge ...

It won't leak the way it was before it looks weird the way you did if you did not want the rib you culd ask a plumber if you culd move pipes .

I get your point but minds installed over the metal- V channel and hasn't leaked at all

Mine is heavily siliconed around and under the metal and rubber gasket

This is an absolute disaster in the making which will without doubt end up causing more of a leak than it attempted to fix for the sake of simple aesthetics. This is only going to last as long as the caulk does and that's it.

Observations 1. Using thin garage metal, 26 or 29 2. Aesthetically pleasing but still has the same weak vulnerable leak spot, the upper side relies on caulk to keep it from leaking.

Id say the end result is worse than what it started at as Snow melting and Freezing(expanding) , snow sliding and moving...Is just going to mess this flashing up over few years

y not just remove the old caulking and put on a new boot why do all that?

Working with metal without gloves. Hmmm OSHA frowns on that.

strongly disagree with the detail . Specially in that climate

So slow, I have to stab myself in the eye, if I had to pay you by the hour

What a sideshow nobody's paying a guy all day to do that
