Flash-Vent™ SS is a flexible stainless steel drainage-plane flashing manufactured from a 2-mil sheet of Type 304 stainless steel. A polymer fabric is laminated to one side, while a soft drainage fabric is laminated to the opposite side to create continuous drainage across the flashing surface.

The integrated drainage fabric helps prevent mortar from clogging the cavity and eliminates the need for separate mortar-netting material above the flashing. Flash-Vent SS provides the durability, puncture resistance, fire resistance, and corrosion resistance of stainless steel while remaining flexible enough to cut and form by hand.

Joining of Materials 

Joints shall be made by using York 304 SA and embedding each side of the connecting flashing 2" on this butyl tape. Another option is lapping the flashing a minimum of 6" and coating the contacting surfaces with an approved sealant. Using an interlocking lap per manufacturer’s detail is also acceptable with the use of an approved sealant. All edges must be sealed.
