Abstract: A method of covering a roof penetration in a roof includes providing a roof mounting device comprising a base, an outer perimeter structure, an open top, an open bottom, and an internal reservoir bound by the outer perimeter structure, and a fastener. The method includes securing the roof mounting device to the roof by applying the fastener to the base and to the roof penetration. The method includes applying a sealant to the internal reservoir until the sealant seals the fastener at the roof penetration.

Abstract: A mounting device for covering a roof penetration in a roof includes a base having a hub, an outer perimeter structure, an open top, an open bottom, and ribs extending from the hub outward to the outer perimeter structure. An internal reservoir in communication with the open top and the open bottom. At least one of the ribs is formed with a bore for receiving a fastener for fastening the mounting device at the roof penetration.

Abstract: A mounting device for covering a roof penetration in a roof includes a base formed from a sheet of material. The base includes a top, a bottom, a socket depending from the top toward the bottom, and an outer perimeter structure encircling the socket and depending downward from the top to the bottom. An internal reservoir is defined between the top and bottom of the base for holding a sealant against and in cooperation with the roof. The internal reservoir includes an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The upper cavity is bound within the socket. The lower cavity continuously encircles the socket and extends both below the socket and between the socket and the outer perimeter structure.

Abstract: A mounting device for covering a roof penetration in a roof includes a base having a central hub, an outer perimeter structure, a top which is open, a bottom which is open, and ribs extending from the hub outward to the perimeter structure. A continuous internal reservoir extends between the hub and the perimeter structure, for holding a sealant against and in cooperation with the roof. The reservoir unsevered by the ribs. A cap is moveable onto the base for forming, in cooperation with the perimeter structure, an environmental seal over the roof penetration.
