2. Two-piece cap to counterflash at roof with 4" in-wall receiver.

3. Thru-Wall at Spandrels – to prevent seepage into roof insulation.

4. Thru-Wall at Window Heads and Spandrels – extend flashing to within 1/2" of exterior wall face.

5. Thru-Wall at Spandrels – custom formed to fit conditions with hook dam to prevent seepage into interior space.

6. Thru-Wall at Sills – 3/16" high saw tooth ribs bond in all directions with mortar bed.

7. Thru-Wall at Water Table – saw tooth ribs with 3" spacing provides positive exterior weepage.

• "Life of the Building" moisture protection is provided at modest installed costs. 
  
  

• Keystone’s famous "3-way" Thru Wall Flashing mechanically bonds in the masonry joint in all directions.
  
  

• Keystone’s versatile "2-piece" Cap Flashing is a combination of either 3-way keyed thru-wall,
  or flat receiver and cap flashing insert.
  
  

• Most pre-fabricated sections are installed in a bed of mortar and interlocked. Where unexpected irregularities are encountered,
  the soft nature of the metal and the flashing design allows the sections to be shaped to fit without violation of its moisture tight
  integrity. A normal mortar joint will accommodate all the sections of Keystone Flashing.
  
  

• These flashing components are a metal system whose sections are soft enough to bend and give, yet tough enough to
  successfully resist moisture penetration for generations.
