I'm replacing an existing cast iron vent with PVC and have an existing lead boot that's 11" tall from the roof.
Per Illinois code, the pipe must extend a minimum 12" above the roof on the high side. However, all the lead flashing I find is exactly 12" tall. Thus, after peening it with a hammer over the inside of the pipe the total height above the roof is 10-11".
Therefore, do we not use lead flashing in Illinois anymore? Is there a preferred product with the similar longevity?
Thanks.
