OT: Roof flashing

Slowpoke · Sep 4, 2012

I need some new flashing like the one in the photo, but don't know the name. It's probably from the eary '50s. Every thing now is type B for metal. I have Transite Flue Pipe for water heater and furnace and don't want the expense and hassel to change it. Anyone know the name and if the old style flashing is still sold?
Thanks

Your local tin shop could make it for you.

Why not reuse that one?
It looks quite servicable to me.

I believe that that style metal was called terne metal. It was quite easy to solder together

That was probably not a factory made item but a custom made by a local shop. Most any good heat and air shop should be able to duplicate it. But, the metal will likely be thinner. Unless you spend the big bucks and have one made from copper. That'll last forever, but it ain't cheap.

Nothing wrong with it. Paint it to match the roof. You'll be good to go.

I will paint and use the 4" one in the photo, but I have a 5" that is in pretty poor shape and would be better off replacing it. They were installed prior to 1970 so they have 40+ years of weather.

I think I have a round one on the shelf.

Slowpoke, Surely any good Sheet Metal Shop worth their Salt should be able to make one for you. Now you may not like the price but that is not the issue here. The one you have just Aluminum Paint it and away you go! Hope this helps!
Later,
