All through-wall flashing should be set with a bed of mortar above and below the flashing in strict compliance with the flashing manufacturer's specifications. Soft zinc" is a newer, proprietary flashing material. It is a relatively malleable material, making it useful for complex roofing connections. It provides normal soft soldering capabilities and delivers easy folding. Soft zinc is said to be an "environmentally friendly" replacement for lead flashing; like lead, it is recyclable, while avoiding lead-contaminated runoff.

Description: Through-wall flashing is used to divert moisture, which has entered the wall, to the outside, before it can cause damage. This flashing method is considered the most satisfactory method of preventing leaks except in areas exposed to earthquakes. There are a number of different types of flashing that you can choose from when either updating your roof or sealing it for the first time. Install units plumb, level, square, and free from warp or twist while maintaining dimensional tolerances and alignment with surrounding construction.

Therefore, chloride based additives in the mortar should be avoided.
