Extendable Self-Adhered Flashing For Sealing Around Non-Flanged Objects

DuPont

FlexWrap

™

EZ is a ﬂexible, self-adhered tape

with a 100% butyl-based adhesive layer that creates

an air and water-tight seal around penetrations of all

different shapes and sizes. FlexWrap

™

EZ is available in

a 2 3/4 in x 15-ft roll roll length to provide an option for

home builders, trade contractors and remodelers to

easily seal around non-ﬂanged objects that penetrate

the building envelope. It is ideal for ﬂashing around

many smaller wall protrusions like plumbing and HVAC

components, vents, wires, exterior electrical outlets,

exterior lights, and gas lines. FlexWrap

™

EZ is a part of a

complete line of DuPont Building Envelope Solutions that

help to improve the energy efﬁciency and durability of

buildings.

This bulletin provides

installation guidance

when the wall penetration

rough opening (RO) is not

more than 1/2" larger than

the outside diameter/

dimension (OD) of the

non-ﬂanged product.

General Considerations

For best results, install DuPont

™

Tyvek

™

Water-Resistive

and Air Barriers (WRB), or other weather-resistive

barrier before installation of a product that penetrates

the exterior sheathing. Once in place and secured,

the penetrating object can be sealed directly to the

weather-resistive barrier using FlexWrap

™

EZ to establish

continuity of the drainage plane.

Please refer to the applicable DuPont Weatherization

Systems Installation Guidelines for more information.

Maintain careful placement of the exposed butyl during

installation once the release paper is removed. DuPont

recommends installers evaluate suitability of FlexWrap

™

EZ onto non DuPont

™

Tyvek

WRBs.

Sealing Round Pipes, and Other Round Objects, with Outside Diameters (OD) Less Than 2"

1. Cut a piece of FlexWrap

™

that is 1/2 the length of the

pipe circumference.

2. Fold the FlexWrap

™

EZ to

break perforations in release

paper and create sharpe

crease.

3. Remove narrow (~1")

width of release paper.

4. While still folded, center

FlexWrap

™

EZ under the

pipe and use the remaining

release paper edge to

position FlexWrap

™

EZ tight

against the WRB. Adhere

the exposed butyl to the

underside of the pipe.

5. Gently remove remaining

release paper to avoid

stretching the product.

Sealing Round Pipes, and Other Round Objects, with Outside Diameters (OD) Less Than 2" (continued) 6. Fan out DuPont™ FlexWrap™ EZ so it extends onto the WRB 8. Fold the second piece of FlexWrap™ EZ to break perforations in release paper and create a sharp crease. Remove narrow (~1") width of release paper. While still folded, center FlexWrap™ EZ above the pipe and use the remaining release paper to position tight against the WRB.

Sealing Round Pipes, and Other Round Objects, with Outside Diameters (OD) Less Than 2" (continued) (Method can also be used for rectangular objects) 1. Measure and cut a piece of DuPont™ FlexWrap™ EZ at least 2" longer than pipe circumference. 2. Fold the piece of FlexWrap™ EZ to break perforations in release paper and create a sharp crease. 3. Remove narrow (~1") width of release paper. 4.

1. Measure and cut a 2" length of DuPont™ FlexWrap™ EZ NOTE: Larger wires, cables, or bundles of wires may require a longer piece of FlexWrap™ EZ. 2. Fold the piece of FlexWrap™ EZ to break perforations in release paper to create a 90 degree angle. 3. Remove narrow (~1") width of release paper. 4. Position FlexWrap™ EZ above the wire so the exposed butyl is centered on top of the wire, and the side with remaining release paper is against the WRB. 5.
