Head Flashing Instruction and Rough Opening Preparation

Note: Pella Recommends and some codes require the use of a head drip flashing. If there is a functioning, existing flashing, proceed to step 5D.

A.Prepare the head flashing by cutting it the same width as the j-channel/siding opening.

B.Pry the top (head) j-channel/siding away from the sheathing enough so the head flashing can be slid under the house wrap.

C.Insert the head flashing behind the j-channel/ siding and behind the house wrap (if present).
