- 1. Field of Invention
- The present invention relates generally to roof flashings for establishing a weather-proof seal with pipes.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Roof flashings are used to create a substantially weather-proof and moisture-proof seal around pipes extending through roofs and other exterior walls of houses and other buildings. Such pipes are used, for example, as vent stacks (hereinafter, “vent pipes”) for venting interior plumbing to the atmosphere.
- Roof flashings of this type often comprise two components: a base member that sits substantially under the tiles of the roof and against the roof, anchoring the flashing; and a seal or gasket (hereinafter “gasket”) to form a weather-proof seal around a pipe that extends through the flashing. Often, due to exposure to the elements and due to the fact that the gasket is fabricated from different and less durable materials than the base member, the gasket will become corroded or porous and require replacement much earlier than the base member. However, because the base member and the gasket are integrally connected, the whole flashing unit must be replaced. The replacement process involves removing tiles from the roof in order to gain access to the base member and replacing the entire flashing unit.
- The present invention, in some of its various embodiments, comprises a flashing with a base member for placing against a roof, a lower stack member connected to the base member, and an upper stack member with a gasket for forming a tight seal with a pipe, the upper stack member being detachably connected to the lower stack member. Because the upper stack member with the gasket is detachably connected to the lower stack member, when the gasket is so degraded that it should be replaced, the upper stack member with gasket are removed without removing or replacing the base member and lower stack member of the flashing.
- In one example embodiment, a flashing according to the present general inventive concept includes a base member, a lower stack member, and a detachable upper stack member. In some embodiments, the upper stack member includes a gasket for forming a weather-proof seal around a vent pipe. In some embodiments, the lower stack member includes threads onto which the upper stack member is screwed. In some embodiments, the upper stack member is detachably connected to the lower stack member by pressure fitting. In some embodiments, the lower stack member includes a lip that interacts with a complimentary lip on the upper stack member; the lip on the lower stack member connects with the lip on the upper stack member in a snug or close frictional fit. In several embodiments, the lip of the upper stack member, or the whole upper stack member itself, is fabricated from an elastic material that is capable of being non-deformably stretched; the upper stack member is detached from the lower stack member by stretching the lip of the upper stack member in order to decouple it from the lip of the lower stack member.
- Generally, an example embodiment of the present invention comprises a roof flashing with a detachable component for forming a seal with a pipe, the roof flashing comprising a base member for placing against a roof, a lower stack member connected to said base member, and an upper stack member with a gasket for forming a tight seal with a pipe, the upper stack member being detachably connected to the lower stack member. In some embodiments, the roof flashing includes an upper stack member that is connected to the lower stack member by screwing the upper stack member onto threads on the lower stack member. In some embodiments, the roof flashing includes an upper stack member that is connected to the lower stack member by pressure fitting. In some embodiments, the roof flashing includes a gasket that comprises a rubber material. In some embodiments, the roof flashing includes a gasket that comprises a mixture of rubber and plastic.
- A flashing with a detachable upper stack member, according the present general inventive concept, provides a weather-proof seal around a pipe that extends through the flashing. When the upper stack member (or a component of the upper stack member, such as a gasket in some embodiments) becomes corroded or porous and requires replacements, replacement of the detachable upper stack member does not involve replacing the whole flashing or removing tiles from the roof in order to gain access to the base member.
- The above-mentioned and additional features of the invention will become more clearly understood from the following detailed description of the invention read together with the drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the embodiment shown inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the embodiment shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 in use on a roof; -
FIG. 4 is a top-down view of one example embodiment of the present general inventive concept, showing the section line along which the view inFIG. 5 is taken; and -
FIG. 5 is a section view of the example embodiment shown inFIG. 4 . - The present invention, in some of its embodiments, includes a flashing with a base member, a lower stack member, and an upper stack member detachably connected to the lower stack member. In some of the various embodiments, a roof flashing with a detachable component to form a seal with a pipe comprises a base member to place against a roof; a lower stack member connected to said base member; and an upper stack member to form a tight seal with a pipe, said upper stack member being detachably connected to said lower stack member.
