Woody Butts Economy 2.5 lb Lead Pipe Flashing, Mill Finish, 1-1/2 in. to 4 in.
Woody Butts Economy 2.5 lb lead pipe flashing is a mill-finish lead boot for sealing vent pipes on shingle roofs, available in 1-1/2 in., 2 in., 3 in., and 4 in. pipe sizes. One flashing is included per order unit (the 3 in. size ships as a box), and it forms to the roof pitch in the field for a watertight fit.
Key Features:
- 2.5 lb lead: Formed from 2.5 lb lead sheet for a heavy, durable, formable flashing.
- Four pipe sizes: Offered in 1-1/2 in., 2 in., 3 in., and 4 in. pipe openings.
- Mill finish: Mill finish lead develops a natural patina and weathers well on the roof.
- Field-formable base: The lead skirt forms to the roof pitch and shingle courses during installation.
- Economy value: The Economy line provides standard code-accepted lead flashing at a value price point.

Coverage & How Much You Need:
One flashing serves one vent pipe. Match the flashing size to the outside diameter of the pipe so the lead sleeve slips down over the pipe and the skirt laps onto the shingle course below.
Fit and Compatibility:
Designed for shingle roof penetrations; pair with roofing cement or sealant at the top edge and cap the pipe so lead is not exposed to runoff from copper or other dissimilar metals.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: What pipe sizes does this fit?
A: The Economy line covers 1-1/2 in., 2 in., 3 in., and 4 in. vent pipes; size the flashing to the pipe's outside diameter.
Q: How is it installed?
A: Slip the flashing over the pipe, form the skirt to the roof pitch, shingle up to it, and seal the top edge; nails should be placed so they are covered by the overlapping course.
Q: Is this suitable for metal roofs?
A: Lead boots are typically used on shingle roofs; for metal roofing, use a flashing designed for that panel system.
Q: How many come in a package?
A: Most sizes sell as a single piece; the 3 in. size is packed as a box.
Q: Will the lead rust or corrode?
A: Lead does not rust; it forms a protective patina over time and is a long-established flashing material.
Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Choose the flashing that matches your vent pipe diameter exactly, as lead boots cannot be upsized without a gap. Form the skirt with a flat bar to follow the shingle coursing so water sheds over, not under, the flange. Use the Economy 2.5 lb line for standard applications and step up to a heavier lead weight where code or longevity requirements demand it.
Lead is toxic; wear gloves when handling, wash hands after installation, and avoid cutting lead without appropriate dust protection.
Order Woody Butts Economy 2.5 lb lead pipe flashing in the size that matches your vent pipe and get a time-tested roof seal.
