How To Installing Metal Roofing Around Electrical Mast

My question is how is it recomended or done with an existing power mast.

How to installing metal roofing around electrical mast.

Secure the screws but do not overtighten. Steve yes use a dektite retrofit for the electrical conduit. I fixed a few things at his house he fixes a few roof penetrations for me. The mast is about 5ft down from the ridge and 1 5 2ft in from edge of shingles.

I appreciate any help and advice. I will replace the boots on the plumbing vents and i need to know if the one for the electrical service needs replaced and how to do it and if i use the same type boot. He ll make a custom lead boot for me every time and install it so it don t leak. Cut flashing opening to appropriate size for pipe.

Apply shingles up to lower edge of electrical mast. I am installing a metal roof over the existing 3 tab shingles. Run a full width panel 6 past the conduit notch for the conduit. The new mast must run through the roof old one wasnt and the roof is corrugated metal with 7 gaps between ribs.

Place the first screw about 7 inches from the bottom and each subsequent screw about 18 to 24 inches apart along the vertical run. For flat roof installations the seams should be soldered closed. I have 2 plumbing vents and electrical weatherhead thru the roof. Install a panel from the conduit to the ridge.

Apply sealant to underside of base and secure base with roofing nails. It will work fine on any roof slope between 3 12 and up to 10 12. Apply sealant around the top of the electrical mast flashing where it meets the pipe. Apply two rows of good quality butyl tape or silicone caulk across the full width of the panel.

The washer under the screw head should seal to the surface of the panel without bulging or shifting. Hi i am going to lath strip and cover my existing shingles with metal. Use caulk on the seams on slopes below 3 12. 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.

What brand of metal are you going to use. It has been reroofed once asphalt 3 tab. 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. We manufacture a flashing made from galvanized steel that spins open to allow the flashing to slide around an electric service conduit and then spin closed.
