Abstract
An improved flashing system and apparatus. A drip cap is attached to the back side of a panel or board, and extends across the top of the panel or board with a short angled drip section and edge extending downwards on the front side of the panel or board. The drip cap may comprise a single piece of metal, or other suitable materials, including but not limited to plastic, formed by folding or by stamping or molding. The back of the drip cap has an upper section extending upward, and also may have a lower section extending downward. The drip cap may be attached by glue or other adhesive means. The lower section, if present, may attached to the back of the panel or board by fastening means known in the art, such as, but not limited to, staples or nails that penetrate only the lower section and the back of the panel or board. The drip cap prevents water and moisture from penetrating behind the panel or board after installation.
