Flashing at wall Intersection
The squares must be large enough to give a good lap at the intersection of the roof and wall, and the head lap should be no less than 75 mm (3 in.). A through-wall flashing should be installed over the base flashing, through the full depth of the masonry veneer and air space behind, and extended at least 150 mm (6 in.) up the wall sheathing (Figure 125). The sheathing membrane should lap at least 75 mm (3 in.) over the top of the through-wall flashing. Flashing should also be installed at the intersection of shingle roofs and walls clad with materials other than masonry. It should extend up the wall not less than 75 mm (3 in.) behind the sheathing paper.
