Abstract
A sill pan is disclosed that is configured for use in spanning rough openings of various lengths. The sill pan includes a base, a pre-formed end flange integral with and extending upwardly from a side edge of the base, a first connector portion formed in the base adjacent to the pre-formed end flange, and a second connector portion formed in the base adjacent to an end opposite to the pre-formed end flange. The sill pan is configured be attachable to an adjacent sill pan with one of the first connector portion and the second connector portion.
Claims21
A sill pan configured for use in spanning rough openings of various lengths, comprising:
- a base having a top surface, the top surface configured to contact and support a sill;
- a pre-formed end flange integral with and extending upwardly from a side edge of the base such that the end flange extends above the top surface of the base;
- a first connector portion formed in the base adjacent to the pre-formed end flange;
- and
- a second connector portion formed in the base adjacent to an end opposite to the pre-formed end flange,
- wherein the sill pan is configured to be attachable to an adjacent sill pan with one of the first connector portion and the second connector portion, and
- wherein the first connector portion comprises one of a male connector portion or a female connector portion, and the second connector portion comprises the other of the male connector portion or the female connector portion.
A sill pan configured for use in spanning rough openings of various lengths, comprising:
- a base;
- a pre-formed end flange integral with and extending upwardly from a side edge of the base;
- a first connector portion formed in the base adjacent to the pre-formed end flange;
- a second connector portion formed in the base adjacent to an end opposite to the pre-formed end flange;
- and
- an interior flange integral with and extending upwardly from an interior edge of the base,
- wherein the sill pan is configured to be attachable to an adjacent sill pan with one of the first connector portion and the second connector portion,
- wherein a plurality of bend lines are disposed along the base substantially parallel with the interior flange and substantially perpendicular to the pre-formed end flange,
- wherein a selected one of the plurality of bend lines divides the base into a support region adjacent to the interior flange and a front flange region, and
- wherein a portion of the base is configured to be selectively bent downward along the selected one of the plurality of bend lines to create a front flange that remains attached to the support region.
A sill pan configured for use in spanning rough openings of various lengths, comprising:
- a base having an interior edge and an exterior edge opposite the interior edge, the interior edge and the exterior edge configured to span a length of the rough opening, the base having a side edge extending between the interior edge and the exterior edge;
- a pre-formed end flange integral with and extending upwardly from a the side edge of the base;
- a first connector portion formed in the base adjacent to the pre-formed end flange;
- a second connector portion formed in the base adjacent to an end opposite to the pre-formed end flange;
- and
- an interior flange integral with and extending upwardly directly from an the interior edge of the base,
- wherein the sill pan is configured be attachable to an adjacent sill pan with one of the first connector portion and the second connector portion, and
- wherein the interior flange comprises a groove formed into a top edge of the interior flange, the groove configured to position a nosing cover over the interior flange.
