Abstract
A roof scuttle is provided which is adapted to be easily installed on any curb on a roof which curb may be existing, pre-formed or formed on the roof at the time of installation. The roof scuttle has a rectangular frame with an outwardly extending drip flange and the bottom of the frame is placed flat on the curb and the inside wall of the frame of the roof scuttle secured to the curb. This eliminates any external fastening of the roof scuttle to the roof which can cause leakage problems and also provides a more secure and safe installation. One embodiment of the roof scuttle uses a wood frame supplied with the roof scuttle which frame is useful for transportation of the roof scuttle and also for installations requiring a wood frame curb. The roof scuttle may be installed over irregular shaped openings, existing roof scuttles, and wide or narrow concrete, wood or metal curbs.
