Dektite Battleship Multicable Flashing | DRF14MCS | Fast Flash

Description

The Dektite Battleship is a multicable roof flashing solution that lets installers run solar PV cables through roof tiles while keeping the roof watertight. It seals and protects up to 10-14 cables through a black EPDM boot with a high UV resistance, and its battleship shape is designed to suit more roof types and profiles.

This item is supplied with the Fast Flash base - a self-adhesive, lead-free flashing made of aluminium stretch mesh cast in polymer rubber. It suits tile, slate and metal roofs and the boot is cut to suit the number and size of your cables.

Fast Flash base - adhesive needs a clean surface

The Fast Flash base is for new or clean tiles where the adhesive can bond. If the area is wet, dusty or mossy, clean it first. For older, more challenging installs where adhesion is difficult, the manufacturer offers the Perform base, which is a different product and is not supplied here.

Work at height

Roof work must be carried out by competent installers following current UK work-at-height requirements. Correct sealing of every roof penetration is essential to prevent water ingress.

Installation in brief

Cut a 30 to 80mm slot in the tile from the bottom upwards, pull the cables through, then cut the cable apertures in the rubber boot to suit. Slide the flashing into place, tear off the white backing layer just before dressing, dress it to the tile by hand or with a soft hammer, then remove the surface protection film.
