Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is B) pitch. The width of the valley flashing must be sufficient to accommodate the pitch of the roof. The pitch, or slope, of the roof affects how water is channeled and can influence the likelihood of wind-blown water being forced under the roof covering. The other options (hip jack rafters, beams, and valley jack rafters) are structural components that do not directly relate to the concern of wind-blown water and the width of valley flashing.
