Abstract

A flashing overlay system for overlaying roofing materials occupying a roof valley includes multiple planar flashing units having at least one first non-planar feature, the flashing units arranged in pairs including a left flashing unit and a right flashing unit, the flashing unit pairs covering the roofing materials occupying the roof valley along the length and track of the roof valley, the paired flashing units abutted together along the edges of the planar material supporting the at least one first non-planar feature, the first non-planar features aligned generally with the center line of the roof valley. The units are tired together with at least one elongated saddle strip folded over at longitudinal center and clamped over, fastened over, or otherwise fitted over the abutted first non-planar features of the multiple planar flashing units paired together and overlaying the roofing materials occupying the roof valley.

Dependent claims

A substantially planar flashing unit of a flashing overlay system comprising:

a planar surface, the planar surface having a substantially triangular profile;
a first edge of the planar surface having a bottom end, a top end, a length, and a rib feature formed orthogonally to the planar surface and extending upward from the planar surface, the feature formed substantially along the length of the first edge;
a second edge of the planar surface, the second edge having a length
a third edge of the planar surface, the third edge having a bottom end, a top end, and a length;
and
a fourth edge of the planar surface, the fourth edge having a length and a wind clip anchoring feature, the length of the forth edge substantially shorter than the lengths of the first, second, and third edges, the fourth edge substantially parallel with the second edge and the wind clip anchoring feature pivotally attached to the fourth edge;
wherein the second edge extends from the top end of the first edge to the top end of the third edge, the fourth edge extends from the bottom end of the first edge to the bottom end of the third edge.
