SPACER FLASHING INSTALLATION
GENERAL
• Spacer Flashing is designed to allow for
the minimum clearance requirements
for proper spacing between siding
materials and roong, decks, driveways,
or sidewalks.
SPACER INSTALL:
• Spacer Flashing can be installed with
side "D" in moderate contact, or slightly
gapped from the roong, deck, driveway,
or sidewalk.
• It is recommended to close the open
end of the Spacer Flashing by making
approximately 1" deep cuts on the
bends (circled in Spacer Diagram) in
from the end of the piece. Then bend the
tabs created from those cuts inward in
this order: B, D, then C.
• Fasten through side "A" to the wall every
12-16" on center. Place fastener ¾"
down from the top of side "A".
• Properly integrate ashing with the
secondary water-resistive barrier.
• Use house wrap, ashing tape, or other
items as needed to maintain the counter
ashing principle.
• When installing siding, it's important
to retain 3/8" minimum clearance
between the siding panels and side
"B" of the Spacer Flashing and DO
NOT caulk.
