PIPE DIVERTING SYSTEM
20170261145 · 2017-09-14 ·

A roof mourned diverting device for diverting a direction of flow of gas from a roof-penetrating pipe is provided. The roof-penetrating pipe has a central axis. The device includes a diverter having a lower opening and an upper opening, the upper opening having a central axis; and a seal having a seal opening, the seal opening being configured to contact an outer surface of the roof-penetrating pipe and form a gas-tight seal with the roof-penetrating pipe. In an assembled state of the device, any of the gas that enters the diverter can only exit the diverter through the upper opening or through the roof-penetrating pipe, and the diverter is installable in multiple different positions, each of the different positions having a different included angle between the central axis of the upper opening and the central axis of the roof-penetrating pipe.

A roof vent assembly may include a vent tube, a vent cap, an air plate and one or more airflow extension members. The airflow extension members may extend outward beyond the periphery of the air plate to create external air plenums. The roof vent assembly may be operable to draw air from the external air plenums under a roof membrane, into an internal air plenum defined by the air plate, through the vent tube and out of the vent cap to remove moisture from the roof.

External Vents

A sloped roof vent has a coated steel plate with a raised center and a gasket receiver is formed around a central hole. A structural body is crimped with a gasket in the receiver. The body has an outer wall extending downward over the receiver. A sloping wall extends inward and a vertical wall supports a second sloping wall with an inner rim. A damper staked to an axle covers the rim. Inserts keep the damper from chattering and fully closing. Wind walls prevent outer drafts from lifting the damper. Two fasteners attach caps to the outer wall. Lanced and pressed ledges on a push-in hose connector permanently engage windows on the inner rim of the structural body. A snap-in screen and a hose connector reducer complete a package.

11277092 · 2022-03-15 ·

A kit for flashing a mount of a photovoltaic assembly on a surface includes a flashing assembly. The flashing assembly includes flashing that extends across an interface of the mount and the surface when the mount is attached to the surface. The flashing includes a bottom surface and a top surface. The flashing assembly also includes tape attached to the bottom surface of the flashing. The tape includes a first attachment area and a second attachment area. The flashing assembly has a first configuration in which the first attachment area is attached to the flashing and the second attachment area is unattached, and a second configuration in which the first attachment area is attached to the flashing and the second attachment area is attached to the surface. The tape is movable with the flashing as an assembly when the flashing assembly is in the first configuration. The first attachment area and the second attachment area positioned on opposite sides of the tape such that the tape extends between the surface and the bottom surface of the flashing when the tape is in the second configuration. The kit also includes a container defining an interior space to receive the flashing assembly.
