DEKTITE ROOF BOOT

Waterproof Seal:
Designed to create a watertight flashing around pipes and other roof penetrations, preventing leaks and moisture ingress. Rhino Steel Building Kits

✔ Flexible Cone Design:
The rubber or silicone cone sleeve grips tightly around the pipe and maintains contact during expansion, contraction, and vibration. Rhino Steel Building Kits

✔ Flexible Base:
Base (often with aluminium reinforcement) conforms easily to metal, tile, slate, or other roof profiles for a snug, weather‑tight fit. IPS Metal | Metal Building Supplies

✔ UV & Weather Resistant:
Materials (EPDM or silicone) are resistant to UV, ozone, and weathering — ideal for long‑term outdoor exposure. IPS Metal | Metal Building Supplies

✔ Cut‑to‑Fit Sizing:
Marked cutting rings or guides allow installers to cut the boot to match the pipe diameter on‑site. IPS Metal | Metal Building Supplies

✔ Easy Installation:
Simple fit‑over or cut‑to‑fit design installs quickly with standard tools and fasteners (screws/rivets + sealant). IPS Metal | Metal Building Supplies

✔ Wide Pipe Size Range:
Available for small to large penetrations (from around 5 mm up to ~480 mm diameter, depending on model). excel-industries.com

✔ High Temperature Options:
Silicone variants withstand higher temperatures than EPDM — suitable for hot flues and HVAC ducts. IPS Metal | Metal Building Supplies

✔ Long‑Life Performance:
