KICKOUT FLASHING
Because of the volume of water that can pour down a sloped
roof, one of the most critical flashing details occurs where a
roof intersects a sidewall. The roof must be flashed with step
flashing. Where the roof terminates, install a kickout to deflect
water away from the siding.
It is best to install a self-adhering membrane on the wall before
the subfascia and trim boards are nailed in place, and then
come back to install the kickout.
Figure 6, Kickout Flashing* To prevent water from dumping
behind the siding and the end of the roof intersection, install a
"kickout" as required by IRC code R905.2.8.3 : “...flashing shall
be a min. of 4” high and 4” wide.” James Hardie recommends
the kickout be angled between 100° - 110° to maximize water
deflection
