Installing the pipe through the roof
When installing the pipe through the roof, put a mark in the ceiling where the hole should be -
after positioning the pipe vertically towards the planned hole. Ensureš that you avoid potential
rafters. The appropriate diameter of the hole needed will depend on the roof pitch. Start off by
drilling through the ceiling with a thin but sufficiently long drill, enabling you to use a hole saw
from both sides afterwards. This initially small hole will then also guide the central pilot drill of
the hole saw.
When installing the pipe through a tar paper/shingle roof, the cuff supplied in the installation
package should be used. The tar paper/shingle should be heated and placed so that it covers
the part of the cuff that is above the roof; the lower part of the cuff should be glued in place.
Use generous amounts of asphalt glue. For turf roofs with a membrane underlay, professional
assistance from a roofer should be sought.
For turfed roofs with tar paper underneath, the pipe is installed in the same way as described
for tar paper roofs. The drainage layer covers the tar paper, and should be adjusted so that lies
adjacent to the pipe.
For tile and tile plate roofs, the cuff should also be sealed against the tar paper underlay.
Please contact a roofer or a tinsmith to get a metal plate that seals the area between the pipe
and the tiles/tile plates.
