VIVIDA #7 Silicone Metal Roof Pipe Boot - Flexible High Temp Flashing

In this review the VIVIDA #7 Silicone Metal Roof Pipe Boot is evaluated as a practical roofing detail for corrugated and pitched metal roofs. The bottom line: this pipe boot is for homeowners and roof installers who need a flexible, high-temperature flashing that seals 6' to 11' outside diameter pipes on corrugated or pitched metal roofs, and that includes screws and a hex bit for straightforward installation. It stands out for its malleable square base and wide temperature tolerance, making it a simple fix for common vent and exhaust penetrations.

Key Features

• Square base design: The flexible square base can be molded to metal roofing rib lines for a flush fit on corrugated panels.
• Range of pipe sizes: Sized as #7, it accommodates 6 in to 11 in OD pipes and can be trimmed to fit slightly smaller diameters.
• High temperature silicone: Constructed from silicone rubber rated for roughly -165.2F to 446F so it resists heat and cold within that range.
• Installation kit included: The package contains one pipe boot, 25 roofing screws and an 8mm hex socket for immediate installation.
• Metal roofing focus: Designed specifically for metal roofs and recommended for moderate to steep pitches up to about 12/12 when using a square base.

Who It's For

The VIVIDA #7 pipe boot is best for DIY homeowners, contractors and metal roof installers dealing with chimney stacks, exhaust vents, woodstove vents or other pipe penetrations that measure between 6 in and 11 in OD. Its pliable rubber and included fasteners make it a quick choice when working on corrugated panels or common roof pitches.

Those working with very deep corrugated panels (over 1.5 in) should consider the next size up to ensure proper fit, and applications that consistently exceed the stated temperature range should look for a product rated for higher continuous temperatures.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Flexible square base conforms to metal roof ribs for a better seal on corrugated panels.
• Wide operating temperature tolerance for most residential and light-commercial exhausts.
• Complete kit includes 25 roofing screws and an 8mm hex bit to speed installation.
• Trimmable collar allows fitting to pipes within the 6 in to 11 in OD range.

Cons

• Not ideal for deep corrugated panels over 1.5 in unless you size up to the next boot.
• Performance can degrade if used repeatedly outside the stated temperature limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit deep corrugated panels?
If the corrugation depth is greater than 1.5 in it is recommended to select the next size roof pipe boot to ensure proper fit and sealing.

Can the boot be trimmed to smaller pipes?
Yes, the #7 collar can be cut down to fit pipes within the 6 in to 11 in OD range, but care should be taken not to overtrim and to avoid over tightening screws.

Is the silicone suitable for high-heat venting?
The silicone performs well between roughly -165.2F and 446F; do not use it where temperatures will consistently exceed this range as it may not perform properly.
