A Water table flashing can help avoid costly water damage by directing moisture away from the window from
the top down. Water Table flashing, also known as Drip Cap is required by most building codes.
WATER TABLE #WT22B/WT22G
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
1. Cut the Water Table flashing to allow 1/2 inch overhang on each side of the window you are protecting. Position the Water Table
flashing and apply flashing tape to the top edge
2. Secure the Water Table flashing using 3 galvanized nails. The Water Table flashing will form an awning over the window. Apply a
dab of caulking to the nail heads.
3. Building paper should overlap the flashing tape and the Water Table flashing and then be covered by the siding.
4. Cut and bend the overhanging Water Table to make flaps on each end. The resulting flaps should be sealed with exterior grade
sealant to create wind-resistant sides.
