RPH VAULT® provides a consolidated, secure, and configurable pathway for multiple components that penetrate the building envelope.
The VAULT® eliminates the primary cause of leaks: multiple penetrations. We provide a single, secure pathway through the roof and walls for multiple pipes, conduit, ductwork, fiber optics, and more.
We are the leading, third party tested roof and wall penetration protection solution. We meet FEMA P-361 and ICC 500-2014 for up to 225mph hurricane winds and 2015/2018 IECC C402.5 and ASTM E2178-13 for air permeance/air leakage. We also meet Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of 88.2.
Once the VAULT® is installed, you have a secure pathway through the roof for future projects. You can add components without creating new penetrations (or voiding your roof warranty).
We constantly talk to architects, engineers, and contractors about their most pressing penetration issues, and then transform them into the most advanced, innovative, highly technical solutions.
We design for ALL sizes and configurations. We stand by our products with a 20-year insured warranty and provide support from design concept through installation.

VAULT® Products
The VAULT® offers exceptional protection for your roof and wall penetrations, while meeting mandatory code requirements for air permeance/air leakage and solar reflectance. Our advanced engineering solutions and compliance with industry standards make the VAULT® the preferred choice for architects, engineers, and building owners wanting to ensure maximum protection and durability for their roof and wall penetrations.
AW VAULT® SERIES
Air/Wind-Rated Assembly
The AW VAULT® series is a 20-year insured, warrantied, all-aluminum, multi-penetrant pathway through the roof, with air and wind rating, and is a 3-piece powder-coated heavy gauge aluminum engineered assembly. It is configured with a vandal-resistant lid, middle housing, and flanged curb designed to be used with our exclusive, weather-tight RPH Exit Seals™. The interior of the lid, housing, and curb are insulated with R4.3 at 75° for condensation. Our small and medium AW VAULT® have received Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (Miami-Dade NOA #22-0809.05 ).
AWI VAULT® SERIES
Air/Wind-Rated Assembly + Insulation Curb Extension
The AWI VAULT® is an AW VAULT® that includes an insulation curb extension (ICE). In addition to the specifications listed in the AW VAULT®, the AWI VAULT® allows for insulation to be installed on-site to further enhance thermal performance along the curb.
WALL VAULT® Patent # 10,700,502
The WALL VAULT® provides a single pathway for multiple penetrations through a parapet or exterior wall. It is constructed using heavy-gauge powder-coated welded aluminum and stainless steel hardware, and is paired with our weather-tight exit seals. Although the WALL VAULT® is built with the same high-quality materials as our AW VAULT®, it has not been third-party tested as a standalone product.
CUSTOM VAULT®
If our standard products don’t fit your needs, we can develop a custom solution that meets your project requirements. We offer custom sizes and configurations for a variety of building types, such as data centers, mission-critical facilities, schools, and more. Our expertise allows us to solve even the most challenging cus-tom applications. Custom VAULT® solutions are based on the same design, materials, and manufacturing process as our AW and AWI VAULT® products; however, custom sizes larger than an AW MEGA VAULT® have not been third party tested. For more information, please contact our technical team.

FAQs
The VAULT® is tested and surpasses requirements set forth by ASTM E1886 and E1996, as well as FEMA P-320/361 and ICC-500 (up to 225 MPH). This makes it an excellent choice for projects located in areas that experience high wind events, such as hurricanes.
The VAULT® was created to change the paradigm in roof penetrations by providing a single, secure pathway for multiple penetrations through the roof which eliminates leaks and meets the building code requirements for air permeance and missile impact (e.g., ICC, Miami-Dade/Florida).
The VAULT® was created as a superior alternate solution to pitch pans. As seen time and again in the industry, the pitch pans will fail because the sealant can dry out and shrink, causing leaks. Putting a rubber boot or diverter on it doesn’t solve the problem in the long term, and can even create additional issues. The VAULT®, however, provides a single pathway for multiple penetrations and will replace vertical penetrations with a tightly sealed horizontal penetration.
All penetrations should be supported no more than 12” from exiting the housing, and also, below the roof level as near as possible to the bottom of the roof opening. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
We add R4 insulation to provide a minimal level of protection; however a vapor barrier and additional insulation must be added to meet local requirements.
The housing has a 3″ built-in counterflashing. The curb to housing connection acts as a termination for the roof material.
No. The lid and curb should NEVER have a penetration. Doing so will compromise the integrity of the VAULT® and void the warranty. In addition, the lid and the curb should never be punctured. Only use the pre-drilled holes for the fasteners.
