ABSTRACT:
A parapet and eave cap assembly and anchor are disclosed in which a corrugated sheet metal tie is incorporated in the wall and includes a split-end having tabs which are bendable to conform in angle to a desired slope of a plate forming a part of an inverted U-shaped cover frame. The plate includes slots for receiving the anchor upwardly therethrough and has outer and inner legs of selected elevation to provide the desired slope in the cap assembly. The tabs of the anchor are simply bent over in opposite directions upon the surface of the plate and are thereafter nailed in place to provide a tensioning anchor between the masonry wall and the cover frame of the cap assembly. The cap assembly is finished by means of a suitable metal flashing overlying the assembly and adjacent edges of flashing strips or similar portions of the roof structure. The cover frame of the cap assembly preferably is made of wood or an equivalent material which will receive fasteners for securing the metallic flashing cap on the cap assembly.
