Re: Rolled PE Caps



Kevin,

If you bring the foil out the edges of the roll instead of the ends, so you
have a very low impedance connection to your plates, then foil is just as
good as flashing.  Even for end connections, the hassle and extra cost of
flashing compared to heavy duty foil is probably not worth it, in my
opinion.
