Device, kit and method for sealing roof penetrations

A method for sealing one or more roof penetrations, including

• separating a pair of adjacent panels of a strip including a plurality of panels positioned in a side-by-side manner, the panels being substantially similar in size and interconnected by a plurality of first hinges and a plurality of flanges joined to the panels by a plurality of second hinges the flanges being substantially similar in size and positioned in a side-by-side manner to form a first portion of the strip for use in forming a container around the roof penetration, each first hinge interconnecting one of the panels with an adjacent one of the panel and facilitating pivoting of said one of the panels relative to said adjacent one of the panels in either direction and each second hinge interconnecting one of the flanges to a respective one of the panels and facilitating pivoting of said one of the flanges relative to said respective one of the panels in either direction;
• surrounding the roof penetration with the first portion of the strip to form a wall of the container;
• bending the flanges of the first portion of the strip along the second hinges inwardly relative to the panels of the first portion of the strip toward a center of the container to form a bottom of the container;
• and
• depositing sealant into the container.

A method for sealing a plurality of roof penetrations, including

• separating a pair of adjacent panels of a strip including a plurality of panels positioned in a side-by-side manner, the panels being substantially similar in size and interconnected by a plurality of first hinges, and a plurality of flanges joined to the bases of the panels by a plurality of second hinges, the flanges being substantially similar in size and positioned in a side-by-side manner to form a first portion of the strip for use in forming a first container for disposing about a first roof penetration, each first hinge interconnecting one of the panels with an adjacent one of the panels and facilitating pivoting of said one of the panels relative to said adjacent one of the panels in either direction, and each second hinge interconnecting one of the flanges to a respective one of the panels and facilitating pivoting of said one of the flanges relative to said respective one of the panels in either direction;
• surrounding the first roof penetration with the first portion of the strip to form a wall of the first container;
• and
• bending the flanges of the first portion of the strip along the second hinges relative to the panels of the first portion of the strip to form a bottom of the first container;
• depositing sealant into the first container;
• separating a pair of adjacent panels of a remaining portion of the strip to form a second portion of the strip for use in forming a second container for disposing about a second roof penetration;
• surrounding the second roof penetration with the second portion of the strip to form a wall of the second container;
• bending the flanges of the second portion of the strip inwardly relative to the panels of the second portion of the strip toward a center of the container to form a bottom of the second container;
• and
• depositing sealant into the second container.
