Metal flashing can be installed in one piece with the drip edge prefabricated at the end or in two pieces similar to 01.030.0302 or 01.0300312. Two piece systems allow for adjustments from normal construction tolerances. Metal flashing can also be installed in the CMU bed joint as shown in 01.030.0305 and 01.030.0306.
