• Foundation sill flashing
• Base flashing

Features
A composite flashing which:

Special Requirements
All materials specified shall be delivered to the jobsite in approved manufacturer's sealed containers bearing manufacturer's name and material identification.

Preparation
All masonry and other surfaces receiving flashing should be reasonably smooth, free from loose material and completely dry. There shall be no slopes which would prevent free flow of water to the exterior surface of the wall. All work shall be executed in conformance with acceptable trade practices.

Application Instructions
AQUA-FLASH 500 should be cut into manageable lengths of approximately 8 to 10 feet. Remove the release liner.

Apply AQUA-FLASH 500 membrane starting from the lowest point and work upwards. Once the membrane is in place, use a steel hand roller to secure the flashing firmly in place. All side laps should be a minimum of 2 1/2".

Inside and outside corners must be covered with the two layers of membrane and sealed mastic.

Once installed, no maintenance is required.
