Running Solar Pipes through Roof

    Have a warm roof & need to replace ( long story.....) the way that the solar thermal pipes go through my roof - ie there is really only access from the outside.

    There are 3 panels & each pipe runs through separately - so 6 slates to replace in all. Have looked at various products that can take the high solar temperatures but am drawing a blank - any suggestions?
    had looked at the following from klober but cant find a distributor here

    If it's a slate roof, use the Tegral TVS-2 Utility Slate. They can be purchased through any Chadwicks.

    Great - had not seen those. Do they come with any sort of membrane / gasket that seals the pipe to the breather membrane? Not sure how I'm supposed to do that

    had a quick look online & they are looking like €75 each incl VAT. Sounds crazy but the klober ones are about 25% less even a after crazy delivery price from the UK. Would much prefer to buy here

    The "S" comes with the rubber gasket. If you order the TV2, there is no gasket.
    Chadwicks are about €50 + vat. I think I pay €44 + vat each.

    Hi George
    You could use these UB30 which slot into place very easy,
    They cost around €45 + vat each but you might get away with only fitting 3 vents.
    Where are you located?

    The pipe go through the roof in different locations for some unknown reason & cannot access the back side, so have to use 6 single pipe flashing / slates.

    Am wicklow based
