Roof mounting system
A roof mount assembly mounts a structure to a roof having a rafter and a substrate supported by the rafter. The roof mount assembly includes a piece of flashing positioned on the substrate. The flashing includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and an aperture extending through the flashing. A fastener extends through the flashing aperture. A bracket is connected to the flashing via the fastener, and the bracket is sized to support at least one roof-mounted structure on the roof. A seal is positioned between the flashing aperture and the fastener. The seal is sized to form a water-tight seal with the aperture to inhibit flow of fluid through the aperture. The seal includes a first portion and a second portion, in which the first portion is positioned to abut the flashing first surface and the second portion is positioned to extend through the aperture.
ADJUSTABLE POLYMERIC PIPE FLASHING SYSTEM FOR IMPERMEABLE GEOTECHNICAL APPLICATIONS
The present invention relates to an adjustable polymeric pipe flashing system (also known as a “pipe boot” or “geomembrane boot”) that allows for angle adjustability without the need for assembly aids. The polymeric pipe flashing system is made of a single piece using methods known in the art such as, without limitation, vacuum molding. The pipe flashing system comprises a sleeve with one or more disk-like elements having different diameters to accommodate a variety pipes, a flexible skirt and free-field geomembrane base. The sleeve may be adjusted to accommodate the size of the pipe that is to be rendered leak-resistant. The flexible skirt and free-field geomembrane base are pliable and may be adjusted over an angled pipe without breaking. In one embodiment, the pipe flashing system has sufficient flexibility to be used with pipes having a pitch of approximately 3/1.
SEALING DEVICE FOR CONSTRUCTION, AND ASSOCIATED MANUFACTURING METHOD
The sealing device for construction comprises a duct and a linking member mounted around and rigidly connected to the duct, wherein the duct comprises: an axial main portion around which the linking member is mounted, a radial bead formed on the main portion and extending radially outwards, and a distal end portion extending the main portion radially outwards and which is axially facing the bead to form therebetween an outwardly radially open annular mounting slot, the distal end portion extending radially beyond the bead, the main portion, the distal end portion and the bead of the duct being made of one piece, the linking member being mounted in the mounting slot and gripped axially between the bead and the distal end portion of the duct.
MATRIX ASSISTED TWO COMPONENT ROOF COATING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A two component roof coating system and method includes a sufficiently porous fabric attachable to a roof deck. A first component of the two component roof coating may be applied to the fabric after it is attached to the roof. Alternatively, fabric may be pre-soaked with the first component prior to attachment. A second component of the two component roof coating may then be applied to the fabric. The first and second components react with each other to form a waterproof roof coating. The fabric can hold the components in place and prevent sagging.
SEALING DEVICE FOR CONSTRUCTION, COMPRISING A DUCT AND CONNECTION MEMBER
The present disclosure provides sealing devices and construction methods thereof. The sealing devices include a duct having a main axial portion, an intermediate annular portion facing the main axial portion, and an annular end portion facing the intermediate annular portion. The intermediate annular portion and the end annular portion are connected by an annular fold so as to form an axial annular mounting slot that is axially open opposite this annular fold. A connecting member comprises a radial plateau and, around a through-opening, an axial annular mounting portion. The axial annular mounting portion of the connection member is engaged and grasped in the axial mounting slot between the intermediate annular portion and the end annular portion of the duct.

The flashing includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and an aperture extending through the flashing. A fastener extends through the flashing aperture. A bracket is connected to the flashing via the fastener, and the bracket is sized to support at least one roof-mounted structure on the roof. A seal is positioned between the flashing aperture and the fastener. The seal is sized to form a water-tight seal with the aperture to inhibit flow of fluid through the aperture. The seal includes a first portion and a second portion, in which the first portion is positioned to abut the flashing first surface and the second portion is positioned to extend through the aperture.
Device for protecting of passages for utilities from entry of outdoor weather elements of adverse effects
The present invention is a reliable and simple to install device for protecting of passages for utilities in roof structures from the entry of adverse effect outdoor weather elements. The device is composed of: a flexible tube component (FTC), a surface insertion tube component (SITC), a surface connection plate component (SCPC) and a SCPC-connecting paste component. FTC is composed of a hollow semi-flexible tube having one side unconnected and the other side firmly connected to the SITC, forming a continuous tube. The SITC is composed of a rigid hollow tube divided into two portions by the SCPC. The SCPS is composed of a perforated, rigid material, perpendicularly fixated to and around the SITC, In installing the device of the present invention, the SCPC-connecting paste component is smeared on the external surface of a roof structure surrounding the passage for utilities. The unconnected side of SITC is inserted into the passage for utilities till the SCPC is tightly pressed into the SCPC-connecting paste component. The SCP is pressed until the SCPC-connecting paste component oozes through the perforated plate of the SCPC. Upon drying and hardening of the SCPS connecting paste component, the SCPS is fixated and the device is stabilized. After the device is fixed and stabilized the FTC is stretched and bent in an approximately 180 degree angle so as to have the unconnected opening of the FTC approximately aligned in parallel with, and facing the external surface of, a roof structure surrounding of the passage for utilities. Either after the bending of FTC or prior to starting the installation of the device, utilities can be inserted through the FTC and SCPS.
Flashing assemblies prepared with liquid flashing compositions
One or more embodiments of the present invention provide A roofing system comprising (i) a roof deck; (ii) a vertical structure extending from said roof deck; (iii) a membrane system covering said roof deck; and (iv) a flashing assembly creating a water-proof seal between said membrane system and said vertical structure, where said flashing assembly includes a flashing composite having a polymeric membrane component and a fabric component, said polymeric membrane component being bonded to said membrane system, and said flashing assembly further including a cured residue layer of a liquid flashing composition extending from said fabric component of said fleeced flashing membrane to a surface of said vertical structure, and said cured residue being bonded to said fabric component and said surface of said vertical structure.
