What is the raised feature created when turning up roof panel ends at hips and ridges?

• A. Flange
• B. Pan
• C. Gasket
• D. Washer

Answer: (B)

When you bend or turn up the ends of a metal roof panel at hips and ridges, you create a raised feature called a pan. This pan forms a small, built-in pocket along the edge that helps define the seam, provides a surface for flashing or ridge caps to seat, and adds stiffness to the edge to aid in weatherproofing. It’s different from a flange (a folded edge used for fastening or joining) and from gaskets or washers (hardware seals), which are not the raised edge formed by the bend itself.
