Light Pipe Angle Adapters or Elbows

On some installations, it may not be possible to install a straight run of light pipe. For those installations, Natural Light offers a 12″ angle adapter (or elbow). The angle adapter is constructed out of the same highly reflective material as our light pipe. The 10″ and 13″ elbows adjust from 0 – 45 degrees while the 18″ and 21″ adjust from 0 – 30 degrees. The angle adapters skew the direction of the light pipe to avoid attic obstructions. Other common applications include steep pitched roofs or cathedral roof installations. The angle adapters are available for all tubular skylight models. Each angle adapter comes with additional tek screws and foil tape.

Available for all tubular skylight models.

Additional Sections of Light Pipe

Extra sections of light pipe are available for tall attic installations in either 12″ or 24″ lengths. Each section comes with additional tek screws and foil tape. Below is a chart listing the maximum length of light pipe recommended for each tubular skylight model:

  • 10″ model maximum light pipe length = 18 feet
  • 13″ model maximum light pipe length = 20 feet
  • 18″ model maximum light pipe length = 20 feet
  • 21″ model maximum light pipe length = 20 feet
Flashing Skirt and Turret Extension for Tile Roof Installation

Most tile roof installations must be installed using a flashing skirt. The flashing skirt is installed over the tubular skylight flashing to ensure a weather-tight installation. For some high profile S-tile roof installations, a turret extension is also needed. The turret is slipped over the flashing lip to accommodate the additional height of the S-tiles.
