Pipe Flashing Detail

Saw this yesterday, think I know why the pipe is so tall(valley pouring into it?) Let me know what you think. Remember, I'm just the sales guy.

Thanks,

James

Re: Pipe Flashing Detail

I would bet pipe is that high so odors do not enter through the lower windows there.

Re: Pipe Flashing Detail

It is a code requirement to prevent the back-drafting of the odorous gasses from re-entering the hiome, via either other roof top vents or soffit intake vents.

Re: Pipe Flashing Detail

I'm with Tump, you typically see this so odors don't get into the windows, or even the soffit intake of the overhang. I see them on flat roofs too, when there are RTU's on the roof in close proximity to the stink stack.

Re: Pipe Flashing Detail

Stink stack to the co-workers. Soil pipe to the customer.
