Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Size the boot to the actual pipe outside diameter, not nominal size, so the lead collar can be dressed down tightly. On steep-slope shingle roofs, tuck the boot flange into the upslope course and leave the collar formed snug so it cannot back off. Where codes restrict lead, choose an approved synthetic or metal alternative.
Lead flashing requires careful handling; wash hands after use, avoid cutting or heating it in ways that create lead dust or fumes, and follow local codes on lead use.
