Introduction

When it comes to ensuring the longevity and performance of your roofing system, the right flashing is essential.

Whether you are working on a small residential project or a large commercial installation, the robust construction and versatile design of these flashings make them a keystone component in delivering a weather-tight result.

Why Choose the No 3 EPDM Mi-Flash?

Superior Material Quality

The No 3 EPDM Mi-Flash is manufactured from top-grade EPDM rubber which is renowned for its durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions, including exposure to UV light and ozone. This means you can rely on a product that stands the test of time, even under continuous exposure to the elements. The material's inherent flexibility ensures that it conforms easily to different roof profiles, providing a bespoke seal no matter the complexity of the installation.

Versatility in Application

Designed to accommodate external pipe diameters ranging from 6mm to 102mm (1/4 to 4 inches), this flashing is a versatile solution that suits both flat panels and profiled sheeting. The adaptability of the product simplifies the selection process on site, reducing the need for multiple product variations. This flexibility also means that it is compatible with a wide range of roof pitches from 0 to 45°, ensuring a perfect fit regardless of the architectural design.

Quick and Easy Installation

Installation is a critical factor in any building project. With the No 3 EPDM Mi-Flash, you can complete the task in five minutes or less. The one-piece construction means fewer seams and joints, translating to a simpler installation process and a reduced risk of errors. All the necessary fixing components, including three Standard Fixing Kits, are available to secure the flashing firmly in place. This streamlined process significantly reduces installation time, allowing you to focus on other important aspects of the project.

Installation Process

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Preparation: Start by cleaning the area where the flashing will be applied and ensure that the pipe and roof surface are free from debris.
2. Trimming the Pipe Opening: Use a Stanley knife or a pair of sturdy scissors to trim the opening in the flashing so that it fits snugly around the pipe.
3. Fitting the Flashing: Slide the flashing over the pipe. For easier handling, a small amount of lubrication can be applied, although this is completely optional.
4. Adapting to Roof Profile: Gently shape the flashing to match the contour of the roof, ensuring that it forms a secure, continuous seal.
5. Sealing and Fixing: Apply the provided sealant along the edges of the flashing. Then, use the accompanying screws and caps from the Standard Fixing Kit to secure the flashing in place.
