Preventing water intrusion at roof penetrations is paramount for the long-term health of any roofing system. The IPS Roofing Products 4N1 Aluminum Base Flashings, offered by A1A Wholesale Supply, represent a premium choice for contractors seeking a robust and adaptable solution for sealing around vent pipes.
The “4N1” designation highlights its exceptional multi-size compatibility, designed to fit a broader range of common vent pipe diameters from 1-1/4 inches all the way up to 4 inches. This expanded versatility significantly streamlines inventory for contractors, ensuring they have the right flashing for virtually any standard residential or commercial pipe penetration without needing to carry multiple single-size units.
These flashings are constructed with a 25 mil aluminum base, which provides superior corrosion resistance, particularly in coastal regions or areas with high humidity, compared to galvanized steel. Aluminum is lightweight, easy to work with, and offers excellent durability. The flashing features a generous 12″ x 16″ base with a nailing flange, providing an extra-large coverage area for enhanced protection, particularly valuable in freeze-thaw climates.
Crucially, each flashing incorporates a high-quality, flexible PVC elastomer collar. This collar conforms precisely to the vent pipe, creating a tight, watertight seal that effectively prevents water seepage. The elastomer collar is rigorously tested for ultraviolet (UV) radiation, ozone, and weather resistance, and is heat tested to 180°F, ensuring its integrity and flexibility over the entire lifespan of the roof.
IPS 4N1 Aluminum Base Flashings are engineered for efficient installation and reliable performance across diverse roof designs. They are compatible with any roof pitch up to 45 degrees (or 12/12 pitch), providing broad applicability. These flashings are approved for “Type B” installations and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty for the life of the current roof system, underscoring IPS Roofing Products’ commitment to quality and contractor confidence.
