Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Match the cap size to the actual pipe outside diameter, since vent pipe dimensions vary by schedule and material. Set the cap so it clears snow levels in your region and keep it accessible for future inspections. On low-slope roofs, pair the cap with a properly sized pipe flashing or pitch pocket and a compatible roof sealant to keep the penetration watertight.
Work on roofs only with proper fall protection, and confirm the pipe is not hot or carrying hazardous exhaust before handling the cap.
Pick up an Award Metals aluminum round vent cap in 3 in. or 5 in. to finish your roof penetration properly.
