Amerimax Home Products 5505419120 Aluminum Drip Edge F4-1/2

Product Description

The AMERIMAX HOME PRODUCTS 5505419120 is an F4-1/2 profile aluminum drip edge designed to protect roof decking and fascia from water infiltration at the eave and rake edges of a roof. Formed from aluminum at 0.0145 inches thickness, it measures 2-7/16 inches by 1 inch in cross-section and comes in 10-foot lengths with a standard brown finish. This drip edge channels water away from the fascia and into the gutter, reducing the risk of rot, mold, and structural deterioration over time. Roofing contractors and general contractors install this component as a standard part of asphalt shingle and other low-slope roofing assemblies.

This drip edge is suited for residential and light commercial roofing applications where an F4-1/2 profile is specified. It installs along eaves before underlayment and along rakes over underlayment per standard roofing practice. The standard brown finish blends with common fascia and shingle color schemes. Each unit is sold individually, with a package quantity of 50 available for larger roofing projects requiring bulk supply.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation drip edge for residential and light commercial asphalt shingle roofing systems requiring an F4-1/2 aluminum drip edge profile.

Installation Notes

Roofing contractors install drip edge in accordance with local building codes and manufacturer shingle specifications, which typically reference NRCA guidelines for eave and rake sequencing. Secure with roofing nails at intervals specified by the local code or shingle manufacturer instructions. Cut to length with aviation snips and overlap end joints by a minimum amount consistent with local code requirements. Keep the work area clear of electrical hazards and follow all fall-protection regulations when working at roof height.
