ABSTRACT:
A roofing device is described for attaching a roofing membrane to a roof having a curb or a parapet wall comprising a cap flashing, a top flange connected to the cap flashing and extending outward therefrom, a wall flange extending downward from the top flange. The wall flange and the top flange defining a filler channel with the curb when the cap flashing is attached to the curb. A drip edge flange extends outward from the wall flange. The roofing membrane is wrapped over an elongated resilient filler piece which is snugly inserted into the filler channel. A plurality of tabs integral with the wall flange and co-terminus with the drip edge flange, are bent towards the curb securing the filler piece and roofing membrane in the filler channel. The tabs have a tab flange which extend outward at an angle away from the curb allowing for ease of unbending the tabs to remove the filler piece when repairing or replacing the roofing membrane. Also described is a pre-manufactured roofing device including a curb piece for mounting along the perimeter of a roof or roof opening; and a pre-manufactured roofing device of suitable size and shape to be positioned on a curb, and may be manufactured in combination with a fire vent, a hatchway cover hinged to the sealing system to form a complete hatchway, or other roofing product ready for installation.
