A punched window is set before the sill flashing membrane is lapped into the rough opening. The WRB is already cut around the opening. What should the crew do?

Correct Answer

B) Remove or reset as needed so sill flashing, jamb flashing, head flashing, and WRB laps shed water outward

Window flashing must be installed in water-shedding sequence with the WRB so water drains outward, especially at the sill. Other choices rely on sealant or omit critical parts of the flashing sequence.

Answer Options
A
Proceed and depend on exterior sealant
B
Remove or reset as needed so sill flashing, jamb flashing, head flashing, and WRB laps shed water outward
C

D
Install head flashing only because water runs down and use that item to close window flashing sequence

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Window flashing must be installed in water-shedding sequence with the WRB so water drains outward, especially at the sill. Other choices rely on sealant or omit critical parts of the flashing sequence.
