Abstract
A protective cap of inverted channel shape for placement on beams to protect same from moisture. A lengthwise extending recess in the cap upper surface receives a pliable sealant having a surface which is in pressurized contact with a beam supported structural member. A seal is thus provided about fasteners driven through the cap. Diverging side walls of the cap discharge moisture away from the beam sides.
