Amerimax Home Products 68899 Aluminum Step Flashing 100 Pack

Product Description

The AMERIMAX HOME PRODUCTS 68899 is a 100-piece pack of aluminum flat step flashing designed for use in residential and commercial roofing applications. Each piece measures 5 inches by 7 inches and is fabricated from aluminum, providing corrosion resistance and long service life at roof-to-wall and roof-to-chimney junctions. Step flashing is a critical water management component installed in courses alongside shingles to direct water away from vertical roof penetrations. Roofing contractors and sheet metal workers install this material during new construction and reroof projects where proper flashing details are required by code.

This step flashing is suited for sloped residential and commercial roofs where shingle courses intersect a vertical wall, dormer, or chimney. The flat profile allows field bending to match the specific roof pitch and wall angle on site. Installation guidance specifies that the upper edge of each piece should extend 2 inches above each course of shingles, while the lower edge should sit 0.5 inches above the butt of the shingles forming the next course. The 100-piece pack quantity supports full roofing runs without multiple supply trips.

• Each piece measures 5 inches by 7 inches for consistent coverage per course
• 100-piece pack quantity suited for full residential or commercial roofing runs
• Flat profile allows field bending to match roof pitch and wall angle

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style step flashing solution for sloped residential and commercial roofing systems where shingle courses meet vertical surfaces such as walls, dormers, or chimneys.

Installation Notes

Step flashing is installed by roofing contractors in alternating courses with shingles, working from the eave toward the ridge. Power down any equipment and clear the work area before beginning roofing work at height. Each piece should be field-bent to the required angle using sheet metal hand seamers or brake tools to match the roof pitch. Local building codes and manufacturer roofing specifications should be consulted to confirm overlap and fastening requirements before installation.
