Abstract

A ventilation screed having an upper attachment flange having a top portion and a bottom portion and at least one opening in the top portion; a drip edge protruding from the bottom portion of the upper attachment flange; a drainage cavity protrusion protruding from the bottom portion of the upper attachment flange above the drip edge, wherein the drainage cavity has an L-shaped drainage trough portion having at least one drainage opening in a bottom portion, an upper ground portion in communication with the L-shaped drainage trough portion and a drainage cavity shroud in communication with the upper ground portion, wherein the drainage cavity shroud extends past the drip edge.

Claims (27)

1. A flashing device assembly, the device assembly comprising:

an upper flashing portion having:

a first flange an upper edge and a lower edge;

a second flange having an attached side and a drip edge;

a flexible joint attached to the first flange and the second flange between the lower edge of the first flange and the attached side of the second flange; and

a flexible moisture stop that extends from a bottom surface of the flexible joint and is a curved lip that curves away from the first flange; and

a starter strip having a starter strip support flange and a starter strip attachment flange, wherein the starter strip support flange is attached to the starter strip attachment flange at an angle between 80 and 100 degrees.

2. A flashing device assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the flexible joint has between a 355 and 360 degree range of movement.

3. A flashing device assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the second flange rests at an angle between 90 and 120 degrees from the first flange.

4. A flashing device assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the drip edge is a sharp angled edge, a rounded rectangular edge or a rectangular edge.

5. A flashing device assembly as in claim 1 , further comprising an screen on a top surface of the second flange.

6. A flashing device assembly, the device assembly comprising:

an upper flashing portion having:

a first flange an upper edge and a lower edge;

a second flange having an attached side and a drip edge;

a flexible joint attached to the first flange and the second flange between the lower edge of the first flange and the attached side of the second flange; and

a flexible moisture stop that extends from a bottom surface of the second flange and is a curved lip that curves away from the first flange; and a sill ledge having an attachment flange and a support flange, wherein the support flange is attached to a top portion of the attachment flange at an angle between 80 and 100 degrees.

7. A flashing device assembly as in claim 6 , wherein the support flange has a support flange drip edge.

8. A flashing device assembly as in claim 7 , wherein the support flange drip edge is a sharp angled edge, a rounded rectangular edge or a rectangular edge.

9. A flashing device assembly as in claim 6 , further comprising a reticulated foam insert on a bottom side of the support flange.

10. A flashing device assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the starter strip support flange has at least one drainage opening.

11. A flashing device assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the starter strip support flange has a first stone course track which protrudes upward from the starter strip support flange at a distance away from a far end of the starter strip support flange.

12. A flashing device assembly as in claim 1 , further comprising an insect screen on a top surface of the starter strip support flange.

13. A flashing device assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the first flange is installed substantially parallel to and in communication with a vertical wall surface.

14. A flashing device assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the first flange is installed substantially parallel to and in communication with a roof deck and the second flange overhangs a downslope end of the roof deck.

15. A flashing device assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the first flange has at least one attachment opening.

16. A flashing device assembly as in claim 1 , further comprising a primary drainage plane having a bottom end that sits in the flexible joint and covers the upper edge of the first flange.
