Combining modern engineering with robust materials, this flashing is designed to offer a reliable, weatherproof seal around pipes penetrating flat panels or profiled sheeting. Manufactured by National Flues, a leading supplier with a long-standing reputation in the UK, this product meets both the high-demand performance and safety standards essential for modern installations.
Key Features and Benefits
This product is specifically engineered for versatility and durability. The key features include its adaptability to various panel configurations, a temperature resistance range from as low as -74°C up to 260°C, and a robust one-piece construction that simplifies installation. Each of these features has been crafted to ensure that the flashing performs impeccably under adverse weather conditions and extreme temperatures, guaranteeing long-term protection of your building envelope. The durability of the Grey Silicone ensures resistance to both ozone and ultraviolet degradation, meaning less frequent maintenance and replacement.
Detailed Technical Specifications
The flashing’s technical specifications underscore its suitability for a wide range of applications:
• Base dimensions: 435mm x 435mm, ideal for secure placement over large pipe openings.
• Designed to fit pipes with external diameters between 178mm and 330mm, providing flexibility.
• Temperature resilience: Operates continuously at 225°C and intermittently up to 260°C, while also withstanding extreme lows.
• Roof pitch compatibility ranges from 0° to 18°, catering to both low and steep roof profiles.
This detailed technical understanding assists you in ensuring that the flashing is perfectly matched to your specific installation requirements.
Installation Process
Installation of the MI-Flash No 8 is designed to be both rapid and efficient. Begin by carefully measuring the pipe opening to confirm compatibility. Use a Stanley knife or scissors to trim the flashing along the opening precisely. Next, gently slide the flashing over the pipe, applying a small amount of grease if necessary to facilitate a smooth transition. The flashing is then moulded to conform exactly to the roof profile. The final step involves sealing: apply the included sealant from the Fixing Kit, then fix the flashing securely with screws and caps. It is critical to use two standard Fixing Kits to ensure a stable, long-lasting installation.
Performance and Durability
The MI-Flash No 8 transcends standard flashing solutions by offering unparalleled durability, even under the most challenging conditions. Its premium Grey Silicone is specially compounded to resist weathering, including exposure to harsh ultraviolet rays and ozone. This not only prolongs the product’s life but also provides consistent performance year after year, reducing the risks of water ingress and subsequent damage. The robust design and engineering guarantee that your current and future installations benefit from enhanced safety and peace of mind.
