Robert Jones Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 The boot around the bottom of the roof vent(can). Is there a technical name for it? Just boot? Click to Enlarge 87.38 KB
John Dirks Jr Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 I call it flashing. Obviously the lower portion should be exposed.
caryseidner Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 I would call that portion the bottom flange.
Marc Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Roof vent. It comes with the flashing, at least the ones I've seen. Marc
AHI in AR Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 I think it would be appropriate to call the bottom edge of the flashing a flange. However, if I were trying to communicate to a client what the thingie-that-should-be-exposed was I would simply say the bottom edge of the flashing. I'm pretty sure that most people these days wouldn't know what a flange was if one bit them on the ass. Bottom edge? That's a simple concept.
Robert Jones Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Posted April 30, 2013 I used all of the terms just to be safe.[]

Whenever possible and/or helpful, I'll include an image from my library next to the picture I took of the defect. It allows me to type fewer words and communicate more effectively. For this case, if I were going to include the image below in my report with the pic Robert took, I would put a note on it saying "details similar for roof vent". Click to Enlarge 56.56 KB
hausdok Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 My father taught me to call a vent flashing like the one Cary shows in the post above a "bib flashing." I suppose because it literally resembles a bib. In the case of a wide flange running around the bottom of a roof vent, I'd probably refer to it as either a flange or a bib, though probably not a bib flashing because it's integral to the vent body and isn't fitted around it.
