#7 High-Temp Silicone Roof Pipe Flashing Boot for Metal Roofs
The boot is designed for 6″-11″ pipes and includes a metal roof flashing kit. Best for wood stove exhaust through metal roofs, with precise diameter markers to limit guesswork. The base provides an airtight seal, and the accordion-style boot hugs pipes to prevent rain intrusion. Best for installs needing a robust, durable seal on metal roofs. Caution: ensure proper trimming for exact OD to prevent gaps.
#6 Metal Roof Pipe Flashing Boot (5″-9″ OD)
Designed for 5″-9″ pipes, this boot features a heavy-duty square aluminum base for superior leak protection and a wide temperature tolerance. Ideal for stove pipes, chimneys, and plumbing vents on metal roofs. Best for installations needing a stable, square base to create a stronger seal. Limitation: the kit may require careful trimming for exact pipe diameter and roof contour.
#6 High-Temp Silicone Roof Pipe Flashing Boot (5″-9″ OD)
This boot uses high-temperature silicone to seal 5″-9″ pipes, suitable for chimney pipes, stove pipes, and vents. It offers precise diameter markers and a flexible rubber sleeve that hugs pipes for a rainproof seal. Best for temperatures down to -100°F and up to 450°F. Caution: ensure the sleeve is cut cleanly to size to avoid leaks at the cut edge.
EPDM Metal Roof Vent Boot (4 3/4″ to 10″)
This EPDM boot fits a wide range of pipe OD from 4 3/4″ to 10″ and uses a square base for stable installation on corrugated roofs. Best for flexible sizing and strong weather resistance. The kit includes roofing screws and hex fasteners. Limitation: universal sizing requires precise measurement to choose the right sleeve length.

Caution: larger OD requires accurate roof cut and base alignment to maximize seal effectiveness.
Buying Guide
Key purchase considerations
- Pipe OD range: Match the boot to your stove pipe size for a tight seal and minimum trimming.
- Roof type: Metal, corrugated, or shingle transitions may affect base design and sealing method.
- Temperature and weather resistance: Choose boots rated for the expected climate and stove exhaust temperatures.
- Sealing system: Look for boots with additional sealing accessories (butyl tape, screws, hex socket) for easier installation and longer life.
- Installation footprint: Consider base shape (square vs. round) and the number of fasteners to distribute load evenly.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What size pipe fits a specific boot? Check the OD range listed for each boot and measure your stove pipe to match.
- Do these boots require additional sealants? Some kits include butyl tape or sealants; others may require separate purchases for a double seal.
- Can a stove pipe boot be used on a shingle roof? Yes, some boots are designed for shingle transitions, but verify compatibility with your roof material.
- Are these boots suitable for extreme temperatures? Many boots list temperature ranges; ensure your climate falls within the specified limits.
- What maintenance is needed after installation? Inspect seals periodically, especially after heavy weather, and reseal or replace if you notice leaks.
