Woody Butts Houston Code 2.5 lb Lead Pipe Flashing, Mill Finish, 1-1/2 in. to 4 in.

Woody Butts Houston Code lead pipe flashing is a 2.5 lb mill-finish lead vent boot built to Houston-area code requirements, offered in 1-1/2 in., 2 in., 3 in., and 4 in. pipe sizes. Each order unit is one flashing (selected sizes ship as a box), and the lead skirt forms to the roof pitch in the field for a watertight shingle-roof installation.

Key Features:

• Code-rated lead: Manufactured as a Houston Code flashing at 2.5 lb lead weight.
• Four pipe sizes: Available in 1-1/2 in., 2 in., 3 in., and 4 in. pipe openings.
• Mill finish lead: Mill finish lead weathers to a natural patina on the roof.
• Field-formable skirt: The lead skirt forms to the roof pitch and integrates with shingle courses.
• One pipe per unit: Each unit flashes one vent pipe, simplifying job takeoffs.

Coverage & How Much You Need:

One flashing serves one vent pipe. Select the size matching the pipe’s outside diameter so the lead sleeve slips over the pipe and the skirt laps onto the shingle course below for positive water shedding.

Fit and Compatibility:

Intended for shingle roof penetrations; seal the top edge with roofing cement and keep the lead isolated from runoff of dissimilar metals. Use this line where Houston code requirements apply; otherwise the Woody Butts Economy line may serve standard applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: What makes this the Houston Code version?
A: It is Woody Butts’ flashing manufactured to Houston code requirements at a 2.5 lb lead weight, in four pipe sizes.

Q: What is included in one order?
A: One flashing per unit in your selected size; several sizes are packed as boxes rather than loose pieces.

Q: How do I pick the right size?
A: Match the flashing size to the outside diameter of the vent pipe; the lead sleeve should slip down over the pipe.

Q: How is it installed?
A: Slide it over the pipe, form the skirt to the roof pitch and shingle courses, and seal the top edge so water cannot run beneath the flange.

Q: Does the lead require maintenance?
A: Lead forms a protective patina naturally; inspect the seal at the top edge periodically and after major storms.

Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Specify the Houston Code line when local code requires it, since it differs from the Economy line by meeting that requirement at the same 2.5 lb weight. Form the skirt carefully with a flat bar so it nests into the shingle coursing, and never nail through exposed lead. Size each boot to the exact pipe diameter before the roof goes on.

Lead is toxic; wear gloves when handling, wash hands after installation, and avoid creating lead dust when trimming or forming.
