Jamie, You did not ask, but I am offering: I find the Oatey flashing with the elastomeric boot to be a somewhat suspect product. I know, I know....you see them everywhere on the finest tract homes....but.... My everlasting image is of 6 or 7 of them peeping out below the last row of modules..except..there wasn't any rubber there anymore...all rotted out. Back in the day I went for a custom rolled cone flashings that I could caulk into the post and slide a rubber counter-flashing over the whole thing. Overkill....perhaps. Best of Luck.

_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jamie Johnson Sent: Friday, April 22, 2011 6:59 PM To: RE-wrenches Subject: [RE-wrenches] Oatey and Standoff vs QuickmountPV Labor Wrenches, We have been asked to quote a large number of installs on comp shingle roofs for an individual owner who requires Oatey flashing's with a 3" standoff on all installations. For the past 2 years we have installed the QuickmountPV product on comp shingle roofs and are use to the labor rate quoted for that, my notes from 2+ years ago seem to reflect a 20+% savings in labor by using the QMPV vs the Oatey and standoff method. Since my notes may not be accurate, I am curious if you are willing to share, what the rest of you have experienced with the labor difference? Thanks in advance.
