Install components....

[opusthe2nd]

Greetings one and all. For a new install, would this be a complete, satisfactory ceiling package minus some pipe?

 

[begreen]

It's one option. Will this be for a cathedral ceiling?

The other option is a cathedral ceiling support kit.

Pros/Cons or just whatever tickles your fancy?

Will sweat condensation like mad when not in use. Best to go with a support box.

 

[begreen]

I'm more in favor of the cathedral ceiling support box. It provides positive protection and I like the support being lower than the roof.

 

[opusthe2nd]

Understood, but then you have that big ugly box inside, sticking out like a sore thumb.

Can I have your phone number so my wife can call you? LOL!

Paint it white.

I painted the big black trim ring for our ceiling support white. No complaints from the missus.

Am I missing anything but my single wall pipe??

You must use a matching Selkirk support box with Selkirk pipe. Not Metalbest.
Cant use EPDM boot on class A.

 

[opusthe2nd]

Am I reading something wrong?

"Continuous Service Temperature Ranges of -58F to +239F (EPDM) "
"Use for Stove Pipes, Chimney, Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning, Electrical, Exhaust Vents, etc. "

Selkirk is Metalbest, from what I have read, no?

You'll want a metal flashing topside. Is this a composition or metal roof? Missing the storm collar and cap.

 

[opusthe2nd]

Metal roof

Is there a particular reason why?

 

[begreen]

A proper metal flashing is more rigid, lasts much, much longer, better sealing and way less screw holes in the metal roof to secure. A good metal roof flashing is the one by Excel.

 

[Ludlow]

Flexible boot for metal roof is high temp silicone. Even then it isnt ventilated so I dont know how they get away with it.

 

[opusthe2nd]

I sure am missing the theory on this. Yes, I forgot the cap too.

A boot, a flashing, a storm collar, really? Not question your advice personally just trying to understand the reasoning...

Why a storm collar when you have a boot? Then I have to rely on how well I silicone everything, unlike with a boot. All my other vent pipes just have a boot, what makes this different?

Heat, sun & time. Plus I like a rigid chimney pipe install. A silicone boot has too much wiggle for my liking.

 

[opusthe2nd]

Ahhhh. So then I ought to just skip the boot part, huh?

 

[begreen]

You'll still need a flashing which is the function of the boot. (and with it a storm collar and cap). Sealing the storm collar with a bead of silicone is a 2 minute task.

I used the excel flashing on my metal roof and it was easy to install. I agree with begreen it would be the way to go. Seems if installed correctly it would be less likely to leak as well. Now that I said that mine will start leaking. Lol. I’ve used hi temp flexible ones before and while it didn’t leak it didn’t offer any support and wasn’t any easier to install.

 

[opusthe2nd]

Easy enough, I'll change my list around. I ditched the boot.

 

[begreen]

Some Excel flashing images. The last one is before the storm collar is on.

 

[opusthe2nd]

Is this enough pitch for the Excel?
