INSTALLATION GUIDE
FLASHKIT PRO
FLASHKIT PRO IS THE COMPLETE FLASHING AND ATTACHMENT SOLUTION FOR COMPOSITION ROOFS.
STEP 1
INSTALL FLASHKIT PRO FLASHING
STEP 2
INSTALL L-FOOT
STEP 3
AT TACH L-FOOT TO RAIL
PRE-INSTALL
- Locate roof rafters and snap chalk lines to mark the installation point for each roof attachment.
- Drill a 7/32” pilot hole at each roof attachment. Fill each pilot hole with sealant.
STEP 1 INSTALL FLASHKIT PRO FLASHING
- Add a U-shaped bead of roof sealant to the underside of the flashing with the open side of the U pointing down the roof slope. Slide the aluminum flashing underneath the row of shingles directly up slope from the pilot hole as shown. Align the indicator marks on the lower end of the flashing with the chalk lines on the roof to center the raised hole in the flashing over the pilot hole in the roof. When installed correctly, the flashing will extend under the two courses of shingles above the pilot hole.
STEP 2 INSTALL L-FOOT
- Fasten L-foot and Flashing into place by passing the included lag bolt and pre-installed stainless steel-backed EPDM washer through the L-foot EPDM grommet, and the raised hole in the flashing, into the pilot hole in the roof rafter.
- Drive the lag bolt down until the L-foot is held firmly in place. It is normal for the EPDM on the underside of the stainless steel backed EPDM washer to compress and expand beyond the outside edge of the steel washer when the proper torque is applied.
TIP:
- Use caution to avoid over-torqueing the lag bolt if using an impact driver.
- Repeat Steps 1 and 2 at each roof attachment point.
STEP 3 ATTACH L-FOOT TO RAIL
- Insert the included 3/8″-16 T-bolts into the lower slot on the Rail (sold separately), spacing the bolts to match the spacing between the roof attachments.
- Position the Rail against the L-Foot and insert the threaded end of the T-Bolt through the continuous slot in the L-Foot. Apply anti-seize to bolt threads to prevent galling of the T-bolt and included 3/8” serrated flange nut. Place the 3/8” flange nut on the T-bolt and finger tighten. Repeat STEP 3 until all L-Feet are secured to the Rail with a T-bolt. Adjust the level and height of the Rail and torque each bolt to 30ft-lbs.
