Arts Galvanized Hemmed Tile W-Valley Flashing, 26 Gauge, 3-Rib 26 in. or 5-Rib 30 in.
The Arts Galvanized Hemmed Tile W-Valley is a W-shaped metal valley flashing that channels water off the intersection of two roof slopes into the gutters. Choose the 3-rib 26 in. panel or the 5-rib 30 in. panel, both 26 gauge mill-finish galvanized steel, sold as individual pieces.

- Residential and commercial: Suitable for residential and commercial use on metal or shingled roofs.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
W-valleys are the preferred valley flashing for tile because the center rib separates converging water streams and the ribs lock into the tile course. Always run a self-adhered membrane under the metal and lap upper pieces over lower ones so water stays on top of the flashing. Pick the 30 in., 5-rib version for long or steep valleys where water volume is greater.
Galvanized flashing edges can be sharp; wear cut-resistant gloves, and work with roof anchorage when installing valley metal.
Order Arts Galvanized Hemmed Tile W-Valley flashing in the size your valley requires.
