1 WORK INCLUDED

(1) Control Joint (Roof Divider): Typically framed with dimensional lumber and plywood on site by the Contractor, or by others (as specified). See Article 10.1.6.2. concerning permissible design heights for control joints.

Two models are illustrated here. A control joint may be as low as 101.6 mm (4”), shown in Drawing B, provided it is not capped with a linear metal flashing. If a metal cap flashing is specified, the minimum height of the control joint must be 127 mm (5”), shown in Drawing A, and screw fasteners securing the cap flashing must be kept at least 88.9 mm (3-1/2”) above the finished roof system surface.
(2) Roof membrane: Carried up and over the top of the control joint as stated above. Membrane flashing is required for control joints when the membrane is “SBS”.
(3) Metal Cap Flashing: Cap flashing may be employed for protection of the waterproofing, and must be designed and installed as required in Part 13.

Note that the cap flashing is sloped at least 2% (mono slope illustrated) when the width of the flashing exceeds 101.6 mm (4”) (Ref. Article 13.1.3.6., “Cap Flashing, Counter-flashing, and Reglet Flashing”).

Fasteners used to secure metal flashing must be at least 88.9 mm (3-1/2”) above the finished roof system surface.
