How would YOU handle this pipe?

Pitch pocket? Field wrap? New flange? :unsure: Doing a tear off, new ISO and EPDM going back on. It's a warranted job.>>>

:woohoo: I just take the tiger saw and cut them off flush with the roof. Then just do a simple patch, or breather vent.>>>

make sure you have adequate means of securing the PVC pipe to the deck. That's normally the problem with this type of gooseneck, compared to a metal pipe where you can have a deck flange welded.

Otherwise the pipe will just fall through the deck, and a>>>

Thanks for the pics and info Nochit. I didn't think of using pvc like that. The frig. company is going to be there to disconnect and reconnect so it should be no problem.>>>

That first pic................ someone chopped the head off the goose on the left. LOL>>>

The warranty might end at the boot, but your reputation as a professional roofer extends far beyond it.>>>

The F.S.R. finally got back to me. He said all of the above would suffice, but an easier method would be to just field wrap the pipe or install a boot as long as we can get it clean enough to prime. The roof system and warranty ends at the top of the bo>>>
