Abstract
An improved flashing system and apparatus. A flashing apparatus or drip cap is attached to the back side or an edge of a panel or board, and has a short angled front section and edge extending over the front side of the panel or board. The flashing apparatus or 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 a first back section extending over the back side of an adjacent panel or board, and also may have a second back section extending over the back side of the panel or board. The flashing apparatus or drip cap may be attached by glue or other adhesive means. The second back section, if present, may be 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 flashing apparatus or drip cap prevents water and moisture from penetrating behind the panel or board after installation.
