Disclosed are sealing apparatuses used in conjunction with corrugated roofing around chimneys, vents, solar tubes, and other structures protruding through corrugated roof or siding. In one embodiment a specialized gasket comprising gasket ribs having a profile that matches a chosen corrugated sheet metal barrier is utilized. A transition barrier hole is cut into the corrugated sheet metal barrier and then the hole is used to cut a transition gasket hole in the gasket. A sealant is used between the gasket and mating parts to create a seal about the transition vessel to prevent roof leaks. In some embodiments, the gasket is in the form of gasket plugs which may be trimmed and utilized to plug and seal the corrugations surrounding a transition barrier hole in a corrugated sheet metal barrier.

A sealing member for use between a flashing member and a roofing material is made of a compressible material and with slits and/or weakening sections extending into the sealing member from the exterior surface towards the interior surface, each slit and/or weakening section extending from one side surface to the other side surface. In one embodiment the slits and/or weakening sections extend in parallel planes, each plane being substantially parallel to the height direction and extending at an angle of 15-75 degrees to the length direction of the sealing member, preferably an angle of 45 degrees. In use the sealing member is arranged on a flashing member and a roofing material is arranged to rest on the sealing member and compress one or more sections of the sealing member. If the sealing member includes weakening sections, at least one of these is at least partially broken when the sealing member is compressed.

A roof curb is used in association with a roof flashing installed on a roof with an incline and corrugated ribs, the roof flashing having a base member that may be mounted over a substantially vertical chimney in the roof and a hollow member having a first end and a second end, the first end being larger than the second end and the first end being attached to the base member of the roof flashing. The roof curb includes a first skid and a second skid that may be mounted upon the roof substantially in a direction of the incline and substantially parallel to each other. The first skid and the second skid each have a length that terminates in a top end and a bottom end, each of the first skid and the second skid being tapered such that the bottom end of each of the first and the second skids has a height greater than the top end, the first and the second skids being selectively attached to the roof to bridge the corrugated ribs and the taper being of a gradation to permit attachment of the roof flashing to the roof curb and passage of the substantially vertical chimney therethrough, the roof curb being discrete from the roof flashing.

This invention presents a wall mounted receiver to accommodate insulated or non-insulated pipes and at least one inlet or portal for at least one pipe conduit or wiring per portal and with a high degree of flexibility and unique mechanical connection security; this receiver is arranged to receive the piping from any directional angle with a unique flexible inlet capability; without limitation, this receiver is for use with refrigeration or air conditioning equipment and related connections, such as insulated pipes, non-insulated pipes, condensation piping, conduit and wiring. The receiver can be mounted to different wall surface types without the assistance of a wall bracket; can also be fit into tight space service areas depending on refrigeration equipment requirements; can be installed in new construction applications; and can also upgrade existing installations without the need to cut the existing piping.

Headwall flashing and sloped wall flashing, each having a ledge, where the ledges are designed to meet at an outside corner of a roof protrusion comprising a headwall and a cheek wall, the headwall flashing being configured to abut a face of the roof protrusion and having a downwardly-angled ledge that ties into the ledge of the sloped roof flashing, which is angled such that it forms a consistent ledge for installation of siding up a cheek wall, despite the siding creating a shimming effect that would typically result in a stepped appearance and misalignment thereof.

The present application provides a roofing assembly (300). The roofing assembly (300) comprises: a support frame (310, 320); a window panel (350) supported on the support frame; a roof covering (319, 364) having an inner surface facing the support frame (310, 320) and extending over the support frame (310, 320) to a boundary of the window panel (350); and a sealing adaptor (360) comprising a sealing portion (430) having a sealing surface (432) for forming a seal against the window panel (350), and a retaining portion (410) defining a retaining recess (420) formed to retain an end of the roof covering (319, 364) therein. The retaining portion (410) comprises a lip region (422) for contacting the inner surface of the roof covering (319, 364) when the end of the roof covering (319, 364) is received in the retaining recess (420). The retaining recess (420) is provided between the lip region (422) and the sealing surface (432).

Various roof vent adaptors are disclosed. The roof vent adaptors can be used to seal penetrations on buildings, such as vent penetrations on metal or non-metal roofs. In various embodiments, the roof vent adaptor includes a sealing member, an outer securing unit and an inner securing unit. The roof vent adaptor can be secured to the roof to provide a generally liquid-tight seal around the roof vent, thereby inhibiting or preventing water intrusion into the building.
