Hi Jay, <br><br>
There is no room for flashings. The L feet will go very close to
the skylights and the flashing would hit the edge of them.
Plus there is an existing array that was done by another installer that
is done with L feet only. The new array would be higher. <br><br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite" class="cite" cite="">And given that we have really
good off the shelf approved flashed feet, why would you use anything
else?<br><br>
My 2 cents,<br><br>

We also used to bend our own L-foot flashing, which we cut from standard
Al coil stock (before all the manufactured options were available). This
might be a good option for you in this case.<br>

<b>Subject:</b> [RE-wrenches] L feet no flashing in shingle roof<br>
<br>
I'm quoting a job that has an existing array with L feet bolted down to a
shingle roof with no flashings. I want to match the height of the
existing array. Also some modules are being worked in around
skylights where it is unlikely that room would be available for flashings
to center over rafters.<br><br>
I've always used flashings. Would it be completely crazy to follow
suit of the existing array and bolt L feet straight to the shingle roof
with good roof sealant? If so, how would you seal
it?</blockquote></blockquote>
