Claim Text:
1. A flashing hood configured for use with a utility line, the flashing hood comprising: a plate member having a first surface, an opposing second surface, and a plate opening extending between the first and second surfaces; a hood member of a quadrangular transverse cross section coupled to the plate member and extending from the first surface of the plate member and terminating at a distal end face defining a distal end plane orthogonal to the plate member, the hood member defining an internal hood opening in communication with the plate opening; and a sealing element coupled to the hood member and disposed within the hood opening and spaced apart from the distal end plane, the sealing element having a sealing element opening sized to receive and engage with the utility line for exerting a compressive force thereon, the sealing element being transitional relative to the hood member between a relaxed configuration and a compressive configuration in response to insertion of the utility line through the sealing element opening.
