Roofing grommet forming a seal between a roof-mounted structure and a roof
First Claim
1. A roof mount assembly for mounting a structure to a roof, the roof comprising a top covering, the roof mount assembly comprising:
- flashing positionable on the top covering, the flashing defining a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and an aperture extending therethrough, the flashing includes a frustoconical protrusion substantially surrounding the aperture;
a fastener extending through the aperture, the fastener being configured to support at least one roof-mounted structure on the roof;
a bracket coupled to the fastener; and
a seal including a first portion positionable between the first surface of the flashing and the bracket and a second portion positionable to extend through the aperture and between the flashing and the fastener, the seal forming a water-tight seal to inhibit flow of fluid through the aperture.

Abstract
A roof mount assembly mounts a structure to a roof having a rafter and a substrate supported by the rafter. The roof mount assembly includes a piece of flashing positioned on the substrate. The flashing includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and an aperture extending through the flashing. A fastener extends through the flashing aperture. A bracket is connected to the flashing via the fastener, and the bracket is sized to support at least one roof-mounted structure on the roof. A seal is positioned between the flashing aperture and the fastener. The seal is sized to form a water-tight seal with the aperture to inhibit flow of fluid through the aperture. The seal includes a first portion and a second portion, in which the first portion is positioned to abut the flashing first surface and the second portion is positioned to extend through the aperture.
