What with the negative slope to vent?

The pan in question is the all new "Self scouring" no maintenance catch-all pan.
Some call it the "Attic Drip Saver".
Works best when it's not raining.

Joe, that was the main stack vent coming out of the original roof and was extended to the new. Unorthodox. The vents had negative pitch too!
