ICC-ES AC286
Full Name
ICC-ES AC286 – Acceptance Criteria for Roof Flashing for Pipe Penetrations
Scope
ICC-ES AC286 outlines the acceptance criteria for roof flashing products designed to seal pipe penetrations in roof assemblies. It focuses on evaluating the performance and suitability of these flashings to prevent water leakage and ensure the integrity of the roof system.
The scope of AC286 covers:
- Material specifications: outlining the acceptable materials for roof flashings, including their durability, weather resistance, and compatibility with various roofing materials.
- Design considerations: providing guidelines for the design of roof flashings, considering factors like pipe size, roof slope, and type of roofing material.
- Installation requirements: specifying the proper installation procedures for roof flashings to ensure a watertight seal and prevent leaks.
- Testing and evaluation methods: establishing procedures for evaluating the performance of roof flashings through laboratory testing and field inspections, including tests for water resistance, wind resistance, and durability.
By establishing these acceptance criteria, ICC-ES AC286 aims to ensure the safe and effective use of roof flashings for pipe penetrations. It provides a standardized framework for manufacturers, designers, and building officials to assess the suitability of various flashing products for different roofing applications.
