Abstract:
Various roof vent adaptors are disclosed. The roof vent adaptors can be used to seal penetrations on buildings, such as vent penetrations on metal or non-metal roofs. In various embodiments, the roof vent adaptor includes a sealing member, an outer securing unit and an inner securing unit. The roof vent adaptor can be secured to the roof to provide a generally liquid-tight seal around the roof vent, thereby inhibiting or preventing water intrusion into the building.

Claim (Index 8):
A method of installing an adaptor configured to seal a roof vent penetration in a roof of a structure, the method comprising:\n obtaining a roof vent adaptor, the roof vent adaptor comprising a sealing member, an inner securing band, and an outer securing band, the inner securing band and the outer securing band being positioned on a surface of the sealing member; positioning the sealing member around a roof vent that extends through the roof vent penetration; positioning the inner securing band adjacent to the roof vent; positioning the outer securing band radially outward of the inner securing band; driving a first plurality of fasteners through the inner securing band, through the sealing member, and into the structure; compressing, with the first plurality of fasteners and the inner securing band, the sealing member against the structure, thereby forming an inner seal between the sealing member and the structure; driving a second plurality of fasteners through the outer securing band, through the sealing member, and into the structure; and compressing, with the second plurality of fasteners and the outer securing band, the sealing member against the structure, thereby forming an outer seal between the sealing member and the structure.
