Roof Tube - Mini with Shut-Off Valve Tip, 1/4 Gallon (Threaded for Tips)

The Roof Tube Mini (¼‑Gallon) with Shut‑Off Valve, RT‑RTM, offers the same efficiency and suction-fed design as the Classic but in a compact, half‑size format—perfect for confined areas like under rooftop units or tight seams. Loaded from the ground, it lets you draw up material, then take it up the ladder for fast and ergonomic application. Designed to reduce fatigue, increase accuracy, and simplify clean-up, the Mini’s shut-off valve gives you precise control over mastic flow, making it a jobsite favorite for quick fixes and detail work.

Key Features:

• Compact ¼-gallon design with shut-off valve tip for precise flow control
• Suction-fed technology for easy loading of thick mastics
• Ideal for confined or tight spaces where maneuverability and control are crucial
• Lightweight and ergonomic, reducing fatigue and improving job-site efficiency

• Capacity: ¼ gallon
• Applicator type: suction-fed plastic tube with integrated shut-off valve
• Compatible materials: thick waterproofing mastics such as acrylics, urethanes, butyls, and silicones
• Intended use areas: tight spaces, under rooftop units, confined seam areas
• Reuse: Can be flushed and relubricated for reuse or disposed of after job completion

• Remove the Roof Tube Mini from packaging and verify that the shut-off valve tip is properly attached.
• Load material into the tube using suction by gently pressing on the valve to allow material to draw in.
• Climb to the work area (e.g., onto a rooftop or ladder) and open the valve to begin material flow.
• Apply material with steady pressure, using the valve to regulate flow and stop as needed.
• Use in confined or hard-to-reach areas where control and precision are essential.
• After use, flush the tube and relubricate for potential reuse, or dispose of it if necessary.
• Follow up with a compatible sealant—preferably urethane or silicone—for added protection.

Q: What materials can the Roof Tube Mini handle?
A: It works with thick waterproofing mastics such as acrylics, urethanes, butyls, and silicones.

Q: What is the advantage of the shut-off valve feature?
A: The valve provides precise control over material flow and helps eliminate drips or waste when working in tight or elevated areas.

Q: Is the Roof Tube Mini reusable?
A: Yes. You can flush the tube and relubricate it for reuse, although it may also be disposed of after a project.

Q: When should I use the Mini instead of the Classic?
A: Choose the Mini when you need maneuverability in tight spaces, such as under rooftop units or in confined seams.

Q: What sealant is recommended after application?
A: Avoid petro-chemical–based sealants. Use a urethane or silicone sealant for optimal, long-term performance.
