Amerimax Home Products 5515500120 Aluminum Drip Edge F5S

Product Description

The AMERIMAX HOME PRODUCTS 5515500120 is an F5S-profile aluminum hemmed drip edge designed to protect roof deck edges from water infiltration and wind-driven rain. Measuring 2.125 inches by 2 inches by 10 feet, this drip edge installs along eaves and rakes to direct water away from fascia and into gutters. Fabricated from aluminum at a thickness of 0.0145 inches, it features a hemmed edge that adds rigidity and reduces the risk of cuts during handling and installation. The standard white factory finish suits a wide range of residential roofing applications. Roofing contractors and siding installers are the primary trade professionals working with this component.

This drip edge is suited for residential steep-slope roofing projects where code-compliant edge metal is required at the eave or rake. It is commonly installed beneath underlayment at the eave and over underlayment at the rake, per standard roofing industry practice. The 10-foot length and hemmed aluminum construction make it appropriate for both new construction and re-roofing work on asphalt shingle, wood shake, and similar roofing systems. Each piece ships individually; the package quantity is 50 units per carton.

Key Features

• F5S profile provides a defined drip edge overhang to direct water clear of the fascia board
• 0.0145-inch aluminum construction offers corrosion resistance and light weight for ease of installation
• Hemmed edge improves stiffness and reduces sharp-edge hazards during handling
• Standard white finish compatible with common fascia and soffit color schemes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation drip edge for residential steep-slope roofing systems requiring an F5S-profile edge metal in standard white aluminum.

Installation Notes

Drip edge is typically installed by licensed roofing contractors in accordance with local building codes and manufacturer roofing system requirements. At the eave, drip edge is installed directly over the roof deck before underlayment; at the rake, it is installed over the underlayment. Fasten with roofing nails or staples at appropriate intervals per local code. Use aviation snips rated for aluminum when cutting to length, and wear cut-resistant gloves during handling.
