A foundation flashing comprises a horizontal member adapted to rest atop the upper surface of a foundation between the upper surface and a frame of the building supported atop the foundation, and a vertical member joined to the horizontal member. At least a portion of the vertical member is adapted to lie against a surface of exterior sheathing that is affixed to the frame of the building. A sheathing locator projects generally horizontally from the vertical member, the sheathing locator being positioned to be abutted by a bottom edge of the sheathing when the sheathing is affixed to the frame. The flashing in one embodiment is disposed between the sheathing and the frame of the building, the sheathing locator projecting outwardly from an outer surface of the flashing. In another embodiment, the flashing is disposed against an outer surface of sheathing affixed to the frame, the sheathing locator projecting inwardly from an inner surface of the flashing and serving to space the vertical member of the flashing away from the building frame so that the sheathing can be installed between the frame and the vertical member of the flashing. Where the flashing is to be disposed against an outer surface of sheathing, the vertical member of the flashing includes a nail stop guide provided on its outer surface as a warning to a worker not to nail through the flashing below the nail-stop guide.
