   The key to the flashing kits, if available, will be installing the skylight on a raised curb. Velux are the only manufacturer that I know of that make a special flashing kit to go with their
   i flush mount
   skylights for steel roofs. Even so, on a 4/12 (which is shallow for steel roofs) you would be better off retrofitting a standard skylight to fit onto a raised curb, then you can use stock steel roof
   i side wall and end wall
   flashings to fabricate a good seal.

   *My choice in this shallow a steel roof would be to not install a skylight. It is really tough to do a quality, leakproof job. But, if you must, Patrick's advise is right on I think.

   *If you can, locate the skylight so that the top flashing is under the ridge flashing. That way you avoid one whole set of problems.

   I'm installing a new steel roof over trusses and purlins on a 4/12 pitch, is the customer asking for trouble with skylights?? This is standard steel not standing seam. Are there special dam and flashing kits available??? thanks
