Abstract:
A roof mounted diverting device for diverting a direction of flow of gas from a roof-penetrating pipe is provided. The roof-penetrating pipe has a central axis. The device includes a diverter having a lower opening and an upper opening, the upper opening having a central axis; and a seal having a seal opening, the seal opening being configured to contact an outer surface of the roof-penetrating pipe and form a gas-tight seal with the roof-penetrating pipe. In an assembled state of the device, any of the gas that enters the diverter can only exit the diverter through the upper opening or through the roof-penetrating pipe, and the diverter is installable in multiple different positions, each of the different positions having a different included angle between the central axis of the upper opening and the central axis of the roof-penetrating pipe.

Claim (Index 1):
A device for diverting a flow of gas from a roof-penetrating pipe, the roof-penetrating pipe having a central axis, the device comprising:\n a diverter having a lower opening and an upper opening, the lower opening being sized to surround an end of the roof-penetrating pipe, the upper opening having a central axis; and a gasket having a seal opening through which the roof-penetrating pipe fits, the seal opening being configured to contact an outer surface of the roof-penetrating pipe and form a gas-tight seal with the roof-penetrating pipe, wherein, in an assembled state of the device, the gasket is secured to the diverter around the lower opening of the diverter and prevents any of the gas that enters the diverter from exiting from the lower opening around the roof-penetrating pipe, and the diverter is installable in multiple different positions, each of the different positions having a different included angle between the central axis of the upper opening and the central axis of the roof-penetrating pipe.
