Abstract
A flashing device comprising a flange comprising a front surface, back surface, and an opening wherein the opening is essentially centrally located in the flange and wherein the flange is suitable for attachment to a surface of an overlaid structural sheathing panel over a protrusion through the sheathing panel, and a gasket effective to essentially seal the perimeter of the protrusion to water, and an adhesive backing located on a back surface of the flange wherein the backing comprises an adhesive effective to permanently attach the flashing device to the surface of the overlaid structural sheathing panel. A system for flashing can comprise such a flashing device. A kit, building system or structure can comprise a flashing device as described and an overlaid wood composite panel.

A flashing device comprising
- (a) a flange comprising a front surface, back surface, and an opening wherein the opening is essentially centrally located in the flange and wherein the flange is suitable for attachment to a surface of an overlaid structural sheathing panel over a protrusion through the sheathing panel, and
- (b) a gasket effective to essentially seal the perimeter of the protrusion to water, and
- (c) an adhesive backing located on a back surface of the flange wherein the backing comprises an adhesive effective to permanently attach the flashing device to the surface of the overlaid structural sheathing panel.
A system for flashing comprising
- (a) a flashing device comprising
- (i) a flange comprising a front surface, back surface, and an opening wherein the opening is essentially centrally located in the flange and wherein the flange is suitable for attachment to a surface of an overlaid structural sheathing panel over a protrusion through the sheathing panel, and
- (ii) a gasket effective to essentially seal the perimeter of the protrusion to water, and
- (iii) an adhesive backing located on a back surface of the flange wherein the backing comprises an adhesive effective to permanently attach the flashing device to the surface of the overlaid structural sheathing panel and

A structure having
- (a) at least one exterior wall, the exterior wall comprising
- (i) an overlaid structural sheathing panel, and
- (ii) an opening in the overlaid structural sheathing panel, and
- (b) a flashing device adhesively attached to the exterior wall comprising
- (i) a flange comprising a front surface, back surface, and an opening wherein the opening is essentially centrally located in the flange and wherein the flange is suitable for attachment to a surface of the overlaid structural sheathing panel over a protrusion through the sheathing panel, and
- (ii) a gasket effective to essentially seal the perimeter of the protrusion to water, and
- (iii) an adhesive backing located on a back surface of the flange wherein the backing comprises an adhesive effective to permanently attach the flashing device to the surface of the overlaid structural sheathing panel.
A method for flashing comprising
- (a) adhesively attaching a flashing device comprising
- (i) a flange comprising a front surface, back surface, and an opening wherein the opening is essentially centrally located in the flange and wherein the flange is suitable for attachment to a surface of an overlaid structural sheathing panel over a protrusion through the sheathing panel, and
- (ii) a gasket effective to essentially seal the perimeter of the protrusion to water, and
- (iii) an adhesive backing located on a back surface of the flange wherein the backing comprises an adhesive effective to permanently attach the flashing device to the surface of the overlaid structural sheathing panel
- to an overlaid structural sheathing panel.
