subject: Aztec Washer Introduces the Master Flash Universal Pipe Boot Roof Penetration Solution [print this page] The Aztec Master Flash roof pipe flashing product makes the process of sealing roof penetrations efficient, cost effective and very manageable for the roofing professional or the homeowner. Keeping weather out of building interiors is the primary purpose for the expensive roofing materials and roofing designs we use for modern structures. This function could be accomplished so without problems if we didn't need to perforate the roofing surface at different points. However, there is time and again no alternative to these penetations at several points with vents or pipes, which are mandatory for venting out or allowing water, gas or electrical in. While required, these points of penetration are often problematical areas for leaks to develop. Therefore to continue the roof's function of sealing and protecting the building interior from extraneous weather, these penetration must be sealed in some manner.
Before Aztec Washer's EPDM or Silicone vent pipe flashing products the only way to seal a leaking or new roof penetration was to have a custom fabricated metal flashing created and installed. Historically, custom fabricated metal flashings were manufactured to address the roof penetration. This was a very tedious and costly process involving a qualified person going on top of the roof and taking appropriate dimensional needs.
As you can easily imagine, these holes in the roof were made in random dimensions, utilizing whatever type of cutting instrument was available. These dimensions would then be interpreted back to a metal fabricating shop and the custom fabricated metal flashing was made. Then another trip up on the roof was needed to install the metal vent flashing. This same custom flashing occasionally did not fit as intended, creating a "Rube Goldberg" installation or the need for another flashing unit to be manufactured.
Aztec Washer's innovative roof vent pipe flashing, called the Master Flash Universal Flashing, is the industry standard for traditional roof pipe flashings for those who prefer to install the round style pipe boot. This vent and pipe flashing has been engineered and designed with sleeve flexibility to manage vibration and pipe movement caused by expansion and contraction while sealing out unwanted elements. The Master Flash Universal Flashing roof pipe flashing design allows for simple on-site customization and can adapt to virtually all installations.
