This Architectural Drawing is AutoCAD 2d drawing of Detail Drawing of Roof seal on pipes in AutoCAD, dwg files. The main reason you should consider putting a cap on your vent pipe is to protect it from the debris that can get in during the storm and prevent animals from climbing in. On the other hand, you should always protect your roof vent pipe with a vent pipe cover. Run a bead of silicone caulk around the vent pipe opening in the roof. Remove the plastic backing from the roofing membrane and slide it over the vent pipe and down onto the roof. Run a bead of silicone caulk along the top edge of the roofing membrane where it comes into contact with the vent pipe to seal it. For more information and details download the drawing file.
