Required Flashing at Intersections
(See Notes A-9.26.4.1. and A-9.26.1.1.(1).)
- Except where the omission of flashing will not adversely affect adjacent supported or supporting constructions, flashing shall be installed at junctions between roofs and
- walls that rise above the roof, and
- guards that are connected to the roof by more than pickets or posts.
- For the purpose of Sentence (1), roofs shall include platforms that effectively serve as roofs with respect to the accumulation or drainage of precipitation.

| 9.26.4.2. |
Materials
- Sheet metal flashing shall consist of not less than
- 1.73 mm thick sheet lead,
- 0.33 mm thick galvanized steel,
- 0.33 mm thick copper,
- 0.35 mm thick zinc, or
- 0.48 mm thick aluminum.
|
| 9.26.4.3. |
Valley Flashing
- Where sloping surfaces of shingled roofs intersect to form a valley, the valley shall be flashed.
- Valley flashing shall be installed over continuous sheathing.
- Closed valleys shall not be used with rigid shingles on slopes of less than 1 in 1.2.
- Open valleys shall be flashed with at least
- one layer of sheet metal not less than 600 mm wide, or
- 2 layers of roll roofing.
- The bottom layer of roofing required in Sentence (4) shall consist of at least Type S smooth roll roofing or Type M mineral surface roll roofing (mineral surface down) not less than 457 mm wide, centred in the valley and fastened with nails spaced not more than 450 mm o.c. located 25 mm away from the edges.
- The top layer of roofing required in Sentence (4) shall consist of at least Type M mineral surface roll roofing (mineral surface up), 914 mm wide, centred in the valley, applied over a 100 mm wide strip of cement along each edge of the bottom layer, and fastened with a sufficient number of nails to hold it in place until the shingles are applied.

| 9.26.4.4. |
Intersection of Shingle Roofs and Masonry
- The intersection of shingle roofs and masonry walls or chimneys shall be protected with flashing.
- Counter flashing required in Sentence (1) shall be embedded not less than 25 mm in the masonry and shall extend not less than 150 mm down the masonry and lap the lower flashing not less than 100 mm.
- Flashing along the slopes of a roof described in Sentence (1) shall be stepped so that there is not less than a 75 mm head lap in both the lower flashing and counter flashing.
- Where the roof described in Sentence (1) slopes upwards from the masonry, the flashing shall extend up the roof slope to a point equal in height to the flashing on the masonry, but not less than 1.5 times the shingle exposure.
|
| 9.26.4.5. |
Intersection of Shingle Roofs and Walls other than Masonry
- The intersection of shingle roofs and walls clad with other than masonry shall be protected with flashing.
- Flashing required in Sentence (1) shall be installed so that it extends up the wall not less than 75 mm behind the sheathing paper, and extends not less than 75 mm horizontally.
- Along the slope of the roof, the flashing required in Sentence (1) shall be stepped with not less than a 75 mm head lap.
|
| 9.26.4.6. |
Intersection of Built-Up Roofs and Masonry
- The intersection of built-up roofs with masonry walls or chimneys shall have a cant strip at the intersection, and a roofing membrane shall be mopped over the cant strip and not less than 150 mm up the wall.
- Counter flashing installed over the intersection referred to in Sentence (1) shall be embedded not less than 25 mm in the masonry, and shall be of sufficient length to extend down not less than 150 mm, lapping the membrane on the masonry not less than 100 mm.
|
| 9.26.4.7. |
Intersection of Built-Up Roofs and Walls other than Masonry
- The intersection of built-up roofs with walls clad with other than masonry shall have a cant strip at the intersection.
- The roofing membrane shall be mopped over the cant strip referred to in Sentence (1).
- Flashing plies shall extend not less than 150 mm up the wall referred to in Sentence (1) behind the sheathing paper.
|
| 9.26.4.8. |
Chimney Saddles
- Except as otherwise permitted in Sentence (5), chimney saddles shall be installed where the upper side of a chimney on a sloping roof is more than 750 mm wide.
- Chimney saddles shall be covered with sheet metal or roofing material of weight and quality equivalent to the roofing.
- Saddles shall be flashed where they intersect the roof.
- The intersection of the saddle and the chimney shall be flashed and counterflashed as described in Article 9.26.4.4.
- A chimney saddle need not be installed if the intersection between the chimney and roof is protected by sheet metal flashing that extends up the chimney to a height equal to at least one sixth the width of the chimney, but not less than 150 mm, and up the roof slope to a point equal in height to the flashing on the chimney, but not less than 1.5 times the shingle exposure.
- Flashing described in Sentence (5) at the chimney shall be counterflashed as required by Article 9.26.4.4.
