Flashing Tape

Flashing Tape to Back Edge of Rough Opening

• Corners have 12" long piece, folded around corner. Or use flashing corners
• this example shows flashing tape over rough opening overlapping only about 1.5" of the front face

• Go 6" up from sill pan [1]
• Requirement is that flashing tape (self-sealing) extend beyond the window/opening flange. Since most flanges are under 2", that means 4" tape will do - to cover both window opening and to reach the house wrap. [2]

Flashing tape does not go to back of Rough Opening

• Flashing tape vs flashing corners - flex tape is used here -
