Water diverter for sloped roof flashings

A flashing material for the juncture of a vertical wall and a sloping roof, said flashing material comprising a vertical wall flange, a sloping roof flange, and a substantially triangular diverter part,

• said vertical wall flange and sloping roof flange having, when considered as being in an installed position, upper portions and lower portions for placement along the juncture of a vertical wall and a sloping roof,
• said vertical wall flange and sloping roof flange lying in planes which are essentially normal to each other and meeting in leak-proof manner at their upper portions along a juncture which extends down to the said diverter part,
• said triangular diverter part spanning, in leak-proof manner, the lower portions of the vertical wall flange and the sloping roof flange in a plane which lies at an obtuse angle to both the planes of the vertical wall flange and the sloping wall flange, with its upper corner joined in leak-proof manner with the lower end of the juncture where said wall flange and roof flange are joined,
• and the two lower corners of the diverter part extending to the lower portions of the wall flange and the roof flange, with one edge of the diverter joined in leak-proof manner to the wall flange and another edge of the diverter joined in leak-proof manner to the roof flange, and
• wherein there is, additionally, a lower portion of the diverter which extends from its lower edge, in a plane essentially vertical to the ground, and adapted toward the vertical wall, for blocking the path of wind-blown water to the juncture of the wall and roof behind the diverter when the flashing is in an installed position.
