BRICK LEDGE FLASHING INSTALLATION
GENERAL
• Brick Flashing is designed to protect
the structure from water penetration by
ashing behind the siding and shed water
away from the house at the transition
where siding and stone or brick meet.
• Brick Ledge Flashing should be installed
as shown in MVMA diagram.
• It is recommended to use bedding sealant
under side "B" of the ashing. DAP
®
Spec
Line 920 Sealant is recommended.
• Verify installation requirements with
brick or adhered concrete masonry
veneer manufacturer.
• Fasten through side "A" to the wall every
12-16" on center. Place fastener ¾"
down from the top of side "A".
• Properly integrate ashing with the
secondary water-resistive barrier.
• Use house wrap, ashing tape, or other
items as needed to maintain the counter
ashing principle. See the MVMA diagram
above.
• When installing siding, it's important
to retain 3/8" minimum clearance
between the siding panels and side
"B" of the Brick Ledge Flashing and DO
