Retrofit Dektite®-Round Base Retrofit Flashing
- The Retrofit Dektite® is a simple solution to flashing a penetration through a metal roof that requires a wrap-around installation.
- The Retrofit Dektite® wraps easily around existing or hard to reach penetrations.
- The clearly marked diameters on each flashing allow the Retrofit Dektite® to accommodate a range of sizes. The marked dimensions also allow for easy sizing to fit each individual application.
- The Retrofit Dektite® snaps together in seconds and does not require any special tools or accessories. Available in gray EPDM, a flexible material, the Retrofit Dektite® is resistant to ultraviolet rays, cracking & weathering.
- The aluminum base on the upper lip of the Retrofit Dektite® is corrosion resistant and allows the flashing to conform to any panel configuration and/or roof pitch.

| 1. |
Begin cutting opposite of the mechanical locking joiner. Cut through the joiner with tin snips |
| 2. |
Wrap the Retrofit Dektite® around the pipe. Engage the top section of the joiner first, then proceed down until the joiner is completely engaged. |
| 3. |
Crimp joiner tightly, starting at the top by squeezing the joiner "fingers" with pliers. |
| 4. |
Apply sealant to the underside of the ribbed aluminum base. Press the Retrofit Dektite® against contours of the panel configuration. |
| 5. |
Attach the Retrofit Dektite® to the panel with self-drilling screws. Screws should be spaced as necessary to avoid gaps between the base and the panel. |
| 6. |
Apply additional sealant around the top of the Dektite® & along the mechanical joiner seam. |
