    There are manufactured units designed for different roof structure exits - We prefer taking the conduit over the edge of the roof with a drip loop into a junction box with a breather at the bottom before entering the roof space .
    It stops any water ingress and damage to undertile waterproofing .

    Comments are my opinion, unless regulations are attached to support the comment. This is social media, not a court room.
