Abstract
A ridge seal molding having a length and width has a nailing flange with one straight edge to engage a ridge beam, the nailing potion for nailing the molding to the ridge beam, providing thereby a continuous contact along at least the one straight edge the length of the molding to the ridge beam, and a cover section formed generally at an angle to and contiguous with the nailing portion and having an undulating shape of adjacent cap and pan portions in the direction of the length to match the undulating shape of adjacent tiles along a front edge, the cover section having a sealing edge of an undulating shape opposite the one straight edge of the nailing potion. The molding is characterized in that a first dimension from a point on the one straight edge of the nailing flange to the sealing edge taken along an axis of a pan portion is substantially greater than a second dimension from a point on the one straight edge of the nailing flange to the sealing edge taken along an axis of a sealing portion, the pan portions of an installed ridge seal therefore extending further down a roof than the cap portions.
