Claim:
A kickout flashing for directing water along an interface defined between a roof and a wall, the kickout flashing comprising: a flat, water impervious roof portion, said roof portion including two straight edges of a substantially equal length and which intersect each other at an obtuse angle; first and second flanges extending perpendicularly from the roof portion along respective ones of said two straight edges of the roof portion and being joined to each other along a continuous joint line which extends perpendicularly with respect to the roof portion from a point at which the two straight edges intersect, with the first and second flanges also being joined to the roof portion along the full length of the respective straight edge thereof to define a continuous passage extending along an intersection of the roof portion and each of the flanges for receiving guiding water; and a stop extending parallel to the roof portion and between the first and second flanges to form a channel between the stop and the roof portion; wherein the first and second flanges have rectangular outlines of substantially equal outline and size such that the flashing is substantially symmetric about a plane bisecting said obtuse angle and which includes the joint line between the flanges, such that the flashing is configured to be installed in either of two alternative orientations with the flat roof portion disposed on the roof and with one of the first and second flanges disposed against the wall and with the other flange being configured to direct water flowing along the passage away from the wall.
