Mark:

Well, I went to the web site referred to below but nowhere do I see the 
words "Pipe Collars" on their home page.  Your original post referred to 
"rain boot," and I didn't find that phrase either.  I tried clicking the 
various links but could not find what I think you are referring to.  Could 
you browse to the specific page showing the products you are recommending 
and paste the links in a reply e-mail?

Please define "low profile roof flashing."  Does that mean the dome shaped 
flashing rather than the cone shaped?

BTW, when we do tile roofs, we typically double flash, that is, we flash to 
the paper and again to the tile, either flat or barrel.  In these cases, 
the wide flange top flashing must fit over the narrow flange lower 
flashing.  The only combo I have found that does this is the Oatey.

We've heard here recently that Oatey flashings installed in 1972 are still 
intact. Have you actually seen Oateys fail in the field?

We've tried the standard conical flashings obtained at plumbing and 
electrical supply houses and they do not fit over the flange bases on the 
DPW power posts.  You can force the outer edge of the flange on the 
flashing down on the paper, but you have to bend the flange and you do not 
get good contact.  This had been the source of some consternation and was 
resolved only when we changed over to the Oateys.  This is why I am 
concerned that the Oateys have longevity, as they are our only solution, 
that is, unless the IPSCorp product offers another option.

Thanks again,

William Miller
