Flashing is available in either copper or aluminum . Flashing is 3 / 4 " larger than abacus size , to be folded over the edges of the cap , held in place with construction adhesive ( not supplied ).

Crimp edges of flashing over sides of cap . Secure in place with construction adhesive .
INSTALL KIT
For structural FRP columns , the install kit consists of 4 ABS brackets ( 2 for top of column and 2 for bottom ) and fasteners required for standard installation . We recommend 2 kits for columns 16 " and up : this will allow the installer to use 4 brackets at the top and bottom of the column . When installed , the cap and base will conceal these brackets and hardware .
SPLIT KIT
Each kit contains six nylon locking straps with 1 / 8 ” spacers and one quart ( 1.85 lb .) automotive body filler . For columns over 12 foot in height , two kits will be required per column . Turncraft recommends using an abrasive ( Carborundum or similar ) or carbide blade to trim the shaft . Split columns are not load bearing .
