Adjustable roof flashing

[njtomatoguy]

I for the life of me cannot figure out the metalbestos adjustable flashing is adjustable-- the only option I see is to cut it with tin snips.. Does anyone have any suggestions, or did I get the wrong product in the box?

Thanks

I believe there are actually 3 different adjustable roof flashings, depending upon the given pitch, in the Metalbestos line.

Right - the adjustment is only in that you can angle it and the pipe still fits through - the storm collar then provides the waterproofing. Usually there is 0-6/12 and 7/12 to 12/12 - and then maybe even steeper for A-Frames.

so i will be up on the roof yet again, I got the 6/12 flashing, eyeing it u it doesn't look like the chimney will be plumb.... maybe it's just me..

trust me you will be ok when you look at the flashing it has a big bevel so when you put it on the pipe you can start pitching it up or down then you stick your storm collar on and your in business it will look like it was meant to be.

i thought the same thing you did when i brought mine up to my roof. but once i took the shingles off and brought my pipe up i slipped it on and it moved into the right angle of my roof.

thanks

Thanks very much for the replies-I'll try again when the rest of the chimney pipe gets here.
