I do it a little different idk I was looking for other ways! Lol...the tab you cut off I leave I bend that down first then the bigger side! Slide it on top the window mark the other side bend both flaps starting with the front one and folding the bigger one over then calk where it goes and nail her off then I put another piece of window tape over it without staples and continue siding!
When installed with wood siding I thought the back flashing was supposed to be under the siding. You're showing this on top of the siding or whatever that house has on the exterior, no? What to do with siding when installing a drip cap over windows and doors?
I would, and actually anchor it in place by smearing some thinly over the back plate part of it...then seal the top edge with silicon calk too. From a painting contractor.
And caulk the underside of it before installing? Cuz we get rain that comes at us sideways and I'm trying to make sure my window is sealed up the right way.
@@rlolo777 yeah even tho his directions were fairly good, is like his installation is only for looks whereas the rest of us are actually trying to keep water out lol.
A bunch of these other videos were talking about making end dams and yesterday and today I was on a crew that did it the way you are doing it instead - wonder what the trade off is?
Im so confused about the construction/design of a window.. I dont understand why there would be a need for a drip cap if your window sits inside of the wall... My windows dont stick out of the wall like this? Nobody's does. It sits well with in the siding of the house.. I wish someone could explain to me what I am getting wrong.
"Not on the exterior"? Huh? Then Why a Drip Cap? your silly [window could be n your shower] =\ Sticking in or out, The Wind Blows water on window - Think where it goes from there. = Flooded Room - i know.
This is installed prior to siding. Siding is installed on the wall, covering the vertical portion of the flashing. Prevents water getting behind window trim.
@@jakeharper6557 we already have trim installed OVER our siding and we need to install one of these edges over the trim, right? Water is coming in from under the trim because it it outboard of our siding. 🤦🏻♀️
This video needs to be removed- this method does not meet current building codes. If someone does this the inspector will fail it and it is a lot of work to go back and correct!
This video was exactly what I was looking for. Short, simple and to the point! Thank you.
Excellent, brief and to the point. 10 out of 10
Short, sweet, simple. Thanks.
I love these short how-to vids. Thanks. Keep em comin'
Trim bender, please follow up with this video explaining caulking nailing etc as Scott Bailey pointed out.
Great video. If you have fiber cement siding already installed, how would you go about installing the drip cap?
Nice video!
Thank you for making this, I found it incredibly helpful!
saved me lots of frustration thanks easy to follow and to the point
it's no longer code though

How would you do this with a stucco house?
When installed with wood siding I thought the back flashing was supposed to be under the siding. You're showing this on top of the siding or whatever that house has on the exterior, no? What to do with siding when installing a drip cap over windows and doors?
Yes, it goes behind the siding.
Here is my video showing it going behind the vinyl siding.

The machine you use to fold the coil what is called? Beautiful job by the way
No caulk? My roof doesn't have an overhang. Can the top go under the siding?
I added a video that shows how I do it.
It was just recently added.
Seems like some flashing tape over the flashing wall flange would be a good idea. No?
Shouldn't you caulk over the top of the drip edge and over the nail heads you put in?
I would, and actually anchor it in place by smearing some thinly over the back plate part of it...then seal the top edge with silicon calk too. From a painting contractor.
And caulk the underside of it before installing? Cuz we get rain that comes at us sideways and I'm trying to make sure my window is sealed up the right way.

Do you need drip cap if installing j channel all around? I assume the j channel will act as drip cap?
Yes, you still need a drip cap.... probably.

how do you do this if you have vinyl siding above the door?
u have to remove the siding...i'm in the same boat lol
It’s wrong
A bunch of these other videos were talking about making end dams and yesterday and today I was on a crew that did it the way you are doing it instead - wonder what the trade off is?
this is no longer code and does nothing to prevent water penetration.

End dams are used when the cap m meets brick or some other building material.
great , thanks, I can do that.
Where I buy drip cap similar to this? I'm having problems finding it on Lowes and Home Depot websites.
He spoke a URL at the very end.
Lowe’s has all kinds I found mine near lumber
Demostration??
Isn't this called drip "edge?"
I think drip edge applies to the roofing?
I just bought a drip cap and it was designed for the window
@@hh7258 You are absolutely right (and I was misinformed) and since my reply I've installed them above almost all of my windows.

+BlackSugar419 the window in the video is for a demo only. The window is not on the exterior of a building.
