Here's the
TSR unit (
Velux Suntunnel).
The upper tube is identical to that of the TMR previously mentioned. It also goes in from the outside.

But where the TMR has a separate inner collar, this one presses directly into place, so there's no additional angular adjustment. A thin weather-stripping goes on the lip for a snug fit. If the sun orientation is good, or when installed at a shallow roof pitch (I'd say 5:12 or less), the smaller appearance is actually nicer.

The only caveat is that the flashing, which is integral with the black collar just like in the TMR, is entirely symmetrical, making topside-down installation possible. It would put the collar weep holes on top instead of bottom. Sure there's a label, but sometimes roofers ignore labels.

This one is for the new Powder Room. It's the only one that's plainly visible from the front, so I figure a low profile is best.
