Flashing system

Abstract

Embodiments provided herein relate to a flashing system. Some embodiments of the flashing system include a reglet that includes a central shaft with a first stem, a second stem, a third stem, a fourth stem, and a parallel extension that extend from the central shaft. In some embodiments, the first stem and the second stem are positioned colinearly and on opposing sides of the central shaft. In some embodiments, the third stem and the fourth stem extend from a common side of the central shaft to define a bituminous water stop. In still some embodiments, the parallel extension includes a connection portion that is coupled to the central shaft, a length portion that is disposed substantially parallel with the central shaft, and a receiver that is coupled to an end of the length portion and disposed toward the central shaft to create an acute angle with the length portion.
