The installation process for the GIBRALTAR 15539 Galvanized Steel Drip Edge Flashing is relatively straightforward. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Start by ensuring that the roof edge is clean and free from any debris or obstructions.
2. Measure the length of the roof edge where the drip edge flashing will be installed. Cut the drip edge flashing to the appropriate length using tin snips or a similar cutting tool.
3. Position the drip edge flashing along the roof edge, ensuring that it overhangs the edge by at least 1 inch. The longer leg of the drip edge should be facing down towards the roof.
4. Secure the drip edge flashing to the roof by using roofing nails or screws. Place the fasteners approximately 6 to 8 inches apart along the length of the drip edge.
5. Repeat the process for each section of the roof edge that requires drip edge flashing.
6. Once all sections are installed, overlap the ends of the drip edge flashing by at least 2 inches and secure them together using roofing nails or screws.
7. Finally, inspect the installed drip edge flashing to ensure it is securely fastened and properly aligned. Make any necessary adjustments or additional fastenings as needed.
Please note that this answer is a general guideline, and it is essential to refer to the specific instructions provided in the GIBRALTAR 15539 Galvanized Steel Drip Edge Flashing User Manual for any additional details or variations in the installation process.
