It offers cost savings in both materials and labor, is lighter to handle, and is corrosion-resistant for long-lasting protection without the environmental concerns associated with lead.

The synthetic rubber collar provides a good seal. While designed for outdoor use, prolonged extreme UV exposure over many years may eventually affect its material properties. Periodic inspection is recommended.

The product includes the McAlpine RS4 Aluminium Roof Flashing with its integrated synthetic rubber collar. Fasteners for securing the base are typically not included and should be selected based on the roof structure and local building codes.

Re-inspect the seal around the pipe/chimney and the integration with the roof covering. Ensure the rubber collar is fully seated and that flashing edges are properly dressed to direct water away. Check for any fasteners that may have compromised the seal.

Carefully manipulate the corrugations to better match the roof's undulations. For very complex profiles, additional sealing compound may be considered, though typically the flashing's design is sufficient.

While the flashing is corrosion-resistant, extreme environmental conditions can sometimes cause surface discoloration. This is usually cosmetic and does not affect performance. Ensure no harsh chemicals have come into contact with the surface.
