Abstract
A roof pan with raised ridges along lateral edges, where the raised ridges of one pan cooperate raised ridges of another pan to prevent water movement. A formed edge that is offset from the roof surface when the pan is installed on the roof allows a flashing to slide under the formed edge when the roof pan is installed on the roof surface.
Claims15
A roof pan, comprising:
- a planar surface;
- a left tapered ridge along a first edge of the planar surface, and extending from a third edge of the planar surface to a fourth edge of the planar surface;
- a right tapered ridge along a second edge of the planar surface, the right tapered ridge parallel to the left tapered ridge, the right tapered ridge extending from the third edge to the fourth edge, wherein the left tapered ridge of the roof pan overlaps the right tapered ridge of a second roof pan having the same configuration as the roof pan;
- a first flange extending from the left tapered ridge along the first edge;
- and
- a formed edge on the fourth edge, the formed edge having an offset away from a roof surface when the roof pan is mounted on the roof surface, the offset allowing a flashing to slide under the formed edge after the roof pan is installed on the roof surface.
