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.
Claims17
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;
- 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.
