A roof flashing comprising: a collar, the collar having a conical shape with an apex and a bottom edge; a base, the base having a top edge and a bottom edge, the top edge of the base coupled to the bottom edge of the collar; a foot coupled to the bottom edge of the base and extending outwardly from the bottom edge of the base; and a longitudinal opening extending from the apex of the collar to an edge of the foot, wherein the longitudinal opening includes first, second, and third sections, wherein the first section of the longitudinal opening traverses a portion of the collar from the apex to the bottom edge of the collar at a point where the bottom edge of the collar is coupled to the top edge of the base, wherein the second section of the longitudinal opening traverses a portion of the base from the top edge of the base to the bottom edge of the base at a point where the bottom edge of the base is coupled to the foot, wherein the third section of the longitudinal opening traverses a portion of the foot from the point where the bottom edge of the base is coupled to the foot to the edge of the foot, and wherein the longitudinal opening has first and second edges such that when the first and second edges are pulled away from each other a width of the longitudinal opening increases to enable the roof flashing to be installable around a pipe which is not capable of receiving the roof flashing over a top thereof.
