How to Install Dektite Premium Solar Roof Flashing

The Dektite Premium Solar Roof Flashing is engineered for a long-lasting, watertight seal around solar cable penetrations or pipes on metal and tile roofs. Follow these best practices to ensure a secure, weatherproof installation.

Step 1: Surface Preparation

• Ensure the roof area is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris before installation.
• Select the correct pipe size and carefully trim the Dektite cone to fit snugly around the pipe using sharp tin snips.
• Lightly lubricate the pipe with water to allow the flashing to slide down smoothly.

Step 2: Positioning the Flashing

• Slide the Dektite cone down the pipe until the base sits flush against the roofing surface.
• Gently mould the flexible base to match the roof profile—whether it’s corrugated metal, ribbed, or flat.
• Using a pencil or chalk, trace the base outline on the roof surface.

Step 3: Sealing the Base

• Lift the flashing and apply a generous bead of compatible roofing sealant within the marked area.
• Reposition the flashing and press firmly into the sealant to create a full-contact seal.
• Ensure the cone hugs the pipe tightly to prevent water ingress.

Step 4: Mechanical Fixing

• Secure the flashing with self-sealing fasteners or pop rivets, starting from the centre of each side and working outward for even pressure.
• Avoid over tightening to prevent distortion of the base or sealant squeeze-out.
• For added protection, apply a bead of sealant along the top edge of the flashing and around each fastener head.
• Optional: Use flashing tape around the base perimeter for high-exposure areas or additional sealing confidence.

Step 5: Final Check

• Inspect the entire installation to confirm that all points are sealed, seated, and mechanically secure.
• Trim any excess material if needed and ensure there are no gaps or exposed edges.
• The system is now ready for long-term protection in both residential and commercial solar roof applications.
