A flashing kit seals or waterproofs a hole in a wall with a conduit penetrating therethrough. The flashing kit generally includes a first flashing member adapted to be mounted to the wall adjacent the hole, a second flashing member adapted to be mounted to the wall adjacent the hole and the first flashing member, a third flashing member wrapped onto the conduit adjacent the first and second flashing members, and a fourth flashing member adapted to be applied to the wall over the first and second flashing members. The fourth flashing member has an aperture for receiving the conduit and may include one or more leaves spaced about the aperture. The leaves are adapted to bend in order to accommodate the conduit and are covered by a fifth flashing member wrapped around the conduit.

What is claimed is: 1. A flashing installation to inhibit the migration of moisture comprising: a conduit penetrating through a hole in a wall, the conduit having an upper and lower portion; a first flashing member mounted to and in contact with the wall adjacent the hole, the first flashing member having an upper edge with a notch configured to surround the lower portion of the conduit; a second flashing member mounted to and in contact with the wall adjacent the hole and the first flashing member, the second flashing member having a lower edge with a notch configured to surround the upper portion of the conduit; a third and elongate flashing member oriented generally perpendicularly to the wall and wrapped onto the conduit adjacent the first and second flashing members; and a fourth flashing member in contact with and applied over at least portions of the first and second flashing members and the conduit, the fourth flashing member having an aperture receiving the conduit there through. 2. The flashing installation of claim 1, wherein the fourth flashing member further includes one or more slits spaced about the aperture, the one or more slits defining one or more leaves adapted to accommodate the conduit. 3. The flashing installation of claim 2, wherein the one or more leaves have respective free edges and respective root edges, the respective free edges collectively defining an opening smaller than the conduit, the respective root edges collectively being shaped to surround the conduit. 4. The flashing installation of claim 3, wherein the one or more leaves are adapted to bend about the respective root edges when the aperture of the fourth flashing member receives the conduit. 5. The flashing installation of claim 4, wherein the fourth flashing member has an adhesive surface such that the one or more leaves are adapted to adhere to the conduit. 6. The flashing installation of claim 1, wherein the fourth flashing member has a peripheral edge and further includes a slit extending from the peripheral edge to the aperture in order to facilitate receiving the conduit. 7. The flashing installation of claim 1, wherein a lower portion of the second flashing member overlaps an upper portion of the first flashing member. 8. The flashing installation of claim 1, wherein the first and second flashing members each have an adhesive surface to facilitate mounting to the wall, the third flashing member has an adhesive surface to facilitate mounting onto the conduit, and the fourth flashing member has an adhesive surface to facilitate applying the fourth flashing member to the wall over the first and second flashing members. 9. The flashing installation of claim 4, further comprising: a fifth flashing member wrapped onto the conduit and in contact with one or more leaves of the fourth flashing member. 10. The flashing installation of claim 9, wherein the fifth flashing member has a distal edge adapted to be applied directly to the conduit. 11. The flashing installation of claim 1, wherein the fourth flashing member has a peripheral edge and further includes a slit extending from the peripheral edge to the aperture in order to facilitate accommodating the conduit. 12. The flashing installation of claim 1, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth flashing members are each generally planar and flexible to conform to the surface on which each is applied. 13. The flashing installation of claim 1, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth flashing members are each generally impervious to water. 14. A flashing installation to inhibit the migration of moisture comprising: a conduit penetrating through a hole in a wall, the conduit having an upper and lower portion; a first flashing member mounted to and in contact with the wall adjacent the hole and in contact with the conduit, the first flashing member having an upper portion with a notch configured to surround and contact the lower portion of the conduit; a second flashing member mounted to and in contact with the wall adjacent the hole and the first flashing member, the second flashing member having a lower portion with a notch configured to surround and contact the upper portion of the conduit, wherein the lower portion of the second flashing member overlaps the upper portion of the first flashing member; a third and elongate flashing member oriented generally perpendicularly to the wall and wrapped onto and in contact with the conduit adjacent the first and second flashing members; a fourth flashing member in contact with and applied over the first and second flashing members, the fourth flashing member having an adhesive surface, a peripheral edge, an aperture to receive the conduit, a slit extending from the peripheral edge to the aperture to facilitate receiving the conduit, and one or more slits spaced about the aperture, the one or more slits defining one or more leaves adapted to bend in order to accommodate the conduit; and a fifth flashing member wrapped onto the conduit and in contact with one or more leaves of the fourth flashing member, the fifth flashing member having a distal edge applied directly to the conduit; wherein the first, second, third, and fourth flashing members are each generally impervious to water and generally planar and flexible to conform to the surface on which each is applied. 15. The flashing installation of claim 1 wherein the third flashing member is an elongate member having a first longitudinal terminal end spaced from a second longitudinal terminal end and the second longitudinal terminal end is juxtaposed to cover the first longitudinal terminal end in an overlapping two ply arrangement of the third flashing member when the third flashing member is wrapped circumferentially onto the conduit. 16. The flashing installation of claim 15, wherein at least one of the first and second flashing members further includes one or more slits defining one or more leaves to accommodate the conduit. 17. The flashing installation of claim 15, wherein at least one of the first and second lashing members has a peripheral edge and further includes a slit extending from the peripheral edge to facilitate receiving the conduit. 18. The flashing installation of claim 1 wherein the first and second flashing members each contact the conduit. 19. The flashing installation of claim 1 wherein an entire face of the first flashing member is in contact with the wall. 20. The flashing installation of claim 14 wherein an entire face of the first flashing member is in contact with the wall.
