Buying Guide: Roof Flashings and Plumbing Supplies

No-Calk Roof Flashings and Rain Collars
No-Calk galvanized steel roof flashings come in sizes such as 9 in. W x 12-1/2 in. L and 11 in. W x 14-1/2 in. L. The 9 in. W x 12-1/2 in. L flashing slides over DWV pipe for pitches up to 40 degrees, and a rubber rain collar can be used as a secondary seal with No-Calk flashings. Measure the vent pipe and roof pitch before you order.

Wax Rings and Toilet Bowl Gaskets
Harvey's No-Seep wax rings are recommended for setting any floor mount toilet, and they are wrapped in polyethylene with a flange. They are for 3 in. and 4 in. waste lines, and a wax bowl ring with sleeve is made for water closets to flanges. Measure the waste line before you order, and match the size on the old ring or gasket.

Solder and Soldering Brushes
Oatey acid core wire solder is a tin-lead alloy with a rosin flux core, and it is ideal for repairing galvanized gutters. The tube cleaning brush cleans the outside of copper pipe before soldering, and the acid flux brush has horse hair bristles. Check the pipe size before you order brushes or solder for a job.
