An improved rainwater diverter for use as the terminal portion of roof flashing is disclosed for covering the abutment of a vertical wall and a sloped roof. The flashing comprises essentially twin, bilaterally symmetrical flanges of which either is adaptable for use as a vertical wall flange that lies in a plane which is essentially normal to the plane of the sloped roof flange. There is provided at the lower portion of the flashing, as an integral part thereof, a diverter part which spans the part of the flashing which lies along the vertical wall above the abutment and the part which lies along the sloped roof and lies at an obtuse angle to each of the said flanges. The upper surface of the diverter is an essentially triangular part with its uppermost corner integral with the flashing at the juncture of the wall part and the roof part, with the two lowermost corners joined at or near the lower edges of the wall part and the roof part in a manner which directs water falling from the flashing away from the wall.

A flashing material of a bilateral symmetrical design for use at a low end of the juncture of a vertical wall in abutment with a sloping roof, said flashing material having an upper portion and a lower portion and comprising a right flange and a left flange joined at right angles to each other in their upper portion, one of said flanges being operable for installation as a vertical wall flange on a vertical wall, and the other flange being operable for installation as a sloping wall flange on a sloping roof, and a triangular diverter of bilateral symmetry spanning, in a leak-proof manner, the lower portions of the two flanges in a plane which lies at an obtuse angle to both of the planes of the vertical wall flange and the sloping wall flange, with its upper corner joined in leak-proof manner with the lower end of the line of juncture where said wall flange and roof flange are joined, whereby the symmetrical diverter flashing material is equally operable on either juncture of a vertical wall and a sloping roof, and a triangular portion joined with the lower edge of the said diverter and also with the bottom edges of the two flanges to form a lower face portion for blocking rainwater and debris from getting behind the diverter and the flanges, further characterized in that there are backside portions joined to the lower face portion at about a right angle normal and protruding upwardly from the face portion, for blocking the path of wind-blown water and debris up behind the diverter and the face portion.
