This is best done by using heavysheet lead and riveting it tothe sheets, using strips of sim-i 1 a r corrugated iron as awasher to avoid damaging thelead. Before riveting, theflashing must be well beddedin roofers cement and thenmake a beveled angle ofcement to make a good this upright flashing isin position a collar is set overthe same and fastened to thestack by means of an iron ringbolted and made tight as shown. Cement is used to make a water-tight joint around the stack. This construction gives room for thestack to sway and allows the heat to escape. Sometimes the end-wall flashing shown in ^ig. 23G can be used
