DIVERTER FOR WALL DRAINAGE

摘要

Water is prevented from entering the wall interior of a building from in and around a wall component, such as a window (40), mounted in the building wall (38), by positioning a diverter (10) directly beneath the wall component (40). The diverter (10) includes an upper surface (20) that slopes toward the wall exterior (58), a plurality of downwardly sloped channels (32), a cover (36) over the outer ends (28) of ribs (24) to form drainage openings (34) at the ends of the channels. A downwardly extending non-linear pathway (84) from the drainage openings (34) to the exterior of the diverter prevents water from entering the wall interior through the channels.
