Oatey Oatey-14206 Rain Collar, 2 Inch, Black

3" vent pipe flashing was letting water drip down pipe ,it was cracked around the very top and l tried chalking it but didn't hold that long.Sled this over the plpe and down rite on top of old one.Have had several hard rains and no leaks.

Only good as a quick fix. Needs to have more material to provide better coverage. Good for temporary fix.

I needed a side flashing to keep rain out of a penetration where an odd-size low-voltage conduit exits an exterior wall, and this seems to do the job. That conduit is 1 1/4" and bends upward at a right angle, but its outer diameter is smaller than that of EMT - it's only 1 3/8", wall thickness 1/16". This rain collar does stretch over the 1 3/8", though not as snug as it would with 1 1/4" DWV pipe or real electrical conduit (both of which come standard at about 1.66" o.d.). So I also put in a drip-edge flashing above it to reduce the water load. So far it works in light spring rain. However I still plan to caulk it before the next rainy season, even though this is supposedly a "no calk" flashing.But here's a note to anyone who is working on their roof. Considering the part for 1.25"-1.5" is completely symmetrical, it won't work as the primary rain collar for DWV that exits the roof. (Or anyway, not without gobs of caulk or sealant.) I think Oatey intends this part to be used as a secondary rain collar that resides an inch or so above the main rain collar. In that case, the secondary collar would divert some of the water away and reduce the amount of rain that falls on the main collar. I suppose that extends the life of the main collar.

I have an Oatey copper roof flashing with a rubber gasket factory installed. The factory gasket is pressed into a groove all the way around the flashing. It's been about 20 years and pieces of this gasket are missing in places. You'd think since copper parts are made for roofs that last 50+ years, Oatey would have a design that allows for changing the gasket since no rubber is ever going to last that long. (My roof is not leaking thanks to the rubber ice & water shield under the shingles that is installed on the plywood and bonded up onto the pipe.)I talked to Oatey support before buying this product. I asked if I should remove the old gasket before installing this new one. It made sense to me especially since chunks of my old gasket are missing. Oatey said "no", that the proper installation is just to use 100% silicone and press it down over and affix to the old gasket. I made notes and ordered this part same as the one the recommended for my pipe flashing unit.However, when I received and examined it, I can see there is a groove built into this gasket where one side would go into the hole in the flashing and the other side would ride over the lip around the hole in the flashing. In other words, to get this new part to tightly and properly seat into a bead of silicone I would have to complete remove the old rubber gasket from the flashing. If you leave the old gasket in place as Oatey recommended, this new one is going to stick up a substantial amount and not cover the hole.

These are a great, inexpensive way to repair the seals around your plumbing vent pipes on the roof. Add a tube of black roof caulk to get a good water-tight seal.

It worked.

These are inexpensive and work great when used appropriately. I use these over the seals on the flanged roof jacks at plumbing vent penetrations to protect the integral collars from sun/heat/UV light damage. They last a long time and help prevent the original seals from deteriorating prematurely.

One of my 2” PVC pipe plumbing roof vents leaked and ruined my ceiling. Turns out it routes thru a 90 degree elbow in the attic, and that elbow sprung a leak. Rain/snow collected inside the vent and leak out the elbow onto my ceiling. I’ve fixed the cracked elbow, but in case any of my remaining roof vents fail in the same manner, I’ve installed a couple gadgets to prevent further leaks. Both gadgets are really cheap insurance to avoid a future problem, IMHO.The first gadget is the “Camco 40034 Replacement Plumbing Vent Cap (Polar White)” found on Amazon. For $5.18 and free shipping, it’s a cheap and very effective way to prevent water from ever entering my vents again, while still allowing the vent to breath. The cap slides onto the pipe easily, and is very sturdy so no strong wind will blow it off. It may not last as long as my 30 year roof, but I’ll just purchase more when needed.The second gadget is the “Oatey 14206 2-Inch Carded RC-2 Collar” also found on Amazon. When inspecting my roof vents for other problems, I noticed the rubber flashing boots were getting old and although not leaking now, was afraid they’ll leak soon. For $2.27 and free shipping, these work amazingly well. Just slide them over the existing boot to protect it from further sun damage and prolong its life, and provide a second seal around the vent pipe. Again it may not last as long as my 30 year roof, but I’ll just purchase more when needed.Attached pre/post photos show both above gadgets installed on my roof vent.

Purchase three to weather proof my roof vent pipes. They fit as indicated and were a breeze to install!

Worked perfectly as advertised. Very easy to install.

Works as advertised Good

Great product
