Effortless Installation Process
Installing the Roof Vent Boot Guard is remarkably easy, thanks to intuitive design features like convenient pitch marks on the rear of the product.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Preparation:
Begin by replacing any damaged lead boot, ensuring it tightly conforms to the plumbing pipe. You might need to tap the lead boot with a hammer to achieve a cylindrical shape.
2. Setting the Guard:
Loosen the set screws located at the base of the Roof Vent Boot Guard. Position it over the lead pipe and gently tap it into place. Tighten the set screws to secure the guard around the lead stack. For 2-inch lead boots, additional screws are provided.
3. Adjusting for Roof Pitch:
The Roof Vent Boot Guard is pre-molded for standard-pitch roofs. If your roof has a steeper angle, trim the material from the rear of the guard, using the pitch marks as a guide. These marks run between 5/12″ and 8/12″.
