VIVIDA #8 Silicone Metal Roof Pipe Boot - Flexible High Temp Flashing

In this review of the VIVIDA #8 Silicone Metal Roof Pipe Boot, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, weatherproof flashing for metal and corrugated roofs where a flexible, high temperature seal is required. The reviewer found it best for sealing pipe openings from 7 in to 13 in OD and appreciated that the silicone construction tolerates a wide temperature range, while the square base and included screws make installation straightforward on corrugated panels and medium roof pitches.

Key Features

• Flexible Square Base: The pliable square base can be molded to metal roofing rib lines so the flashing sits flush on corrugated panels for a better seal.
• Universal Cut-to-Fit Collar: The #8 rubber boot fits 7 in to 13 in OD pipe and can be trimmed to size for a snug fit around different pipe diameters.
• High Temperature Silicone: Made from high temp silicone rubber that performs across a wide range from about -165.2F to 446F for use near hot exhausts and chimneys.
• Complete Hardware Pack: The package includes 30 roofing screws and an 8 mm hex socket so installers have the fasteners needed for metal roofing without extra trips.
• Designed for Metal Roofing: Intended for corrugated metal and moderate-to-steep pitches, the boot works well sealing chimneys, vents and exhaust pipes on metal roofs.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at homeowners, roofers and remodelers working with metal corrugated roofing who need a flexible flashing solution that can be trimmed on site. It is especially useful when installing or repairing exhaust vents, chimneys, woodstove pipes and large-diameter venting on 10/12 to 12/12 pitch roofs.

Those with very deep corrugated panels (more than 1.5 in depth) or who routinely work with pipe diameters outside the 7 in to 13 in range should consider a different size or the next larger model for proper clearance and sealing. It is also not suited for continuous exposure beyond the stated temperature limits.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fit on corrugated metal thanks to a moldable square base that conforms to rib lines.
• Wide temperature tolerance of the high temp silicone for many roofing vent applications.
• Convenient kit includes 30 roofing screws and an 8 mm hex bit to complete the install.
• Cut-to-fit collar covers a broad 7 in to 13 in pipe OD range for flexibility on site.

Cons

• Not ideal for very deep corrugated panels over 1.5 in; the next size is recommended in those cases.
• Performance will degrade if used consistently outside the stated temperature range.
