How do I properly terminate a vent stack
I am doing some remodeling in the kitchen. The kitchen sink had its own 2" vent stack that went through the roof. I wont be needing it anymore and easily pulled down the 2" pipe out of the roof. Now there is a hole in the roof. How would i properly seal this hole off?

The answers will depend on the sort of roofing you have, how much you care about appearance and things like that. Short term... something like a metal cap over the boot with good tape will keep the weather out. |

So you pulled the pipe out and now have a 2" hole in the roof but to not want to get on the roof and fix the hole:eek:
Sorry not going to happen. Someone's going to have to get up on the roof to fix it, how depends on what type roof it is. |
Look before you leap, in this case, think before you yank.
Option 1: Go in the attic, glue on a cap and shove the pipe back up there. Im assuming a rubber All-Vent? Option 2, The Right way: Remove the flashing, cover the hole with sheet metal and properly install shingles. You did have them leave you a square or so when you had the roof done, right? Scardy Cat! :tongue_smilie: |
