Lead Jacks

 
Cut Lead to Fit ~ The lead jack should fold inside the pipe 3/4". If the lead jack is too tall then it should be cut down in size to fit correctly.  

Cut Pipe to Fit ~ If the pipe is too tall (whether PVC or Metal) it should be trimmed down so the lead jack can fold inside properly. A regular saw can cut the PVC pipes easily but if the pipe is metal, a larger saw will need to be used.

 
 
Steel Vents Hot Water Heater Vents
 
Utility Vents ~ These are used over the stove exhausts and bathroom fans. If you have a severe problem with squirrels in your neighborhood, you could also use these instead of lead jacks. Squirrels for some reason like to chew on the lead and that creates a leaking hazard in some instances.  

Correct Size ~ These are not bought from a roofing supply and are not usually changed unless absolutely needed. A steel vent (shown above) can be used in its place in some instances. The most common way to change these to new is to install a new bottom only and in these cases, the correct size is vital.
