Key Benefits at a Glance

Roof Water Should Drop Into the Gutter, Not Sneak Behind It

A gutter can be pitched, sealed, and hung correctly, but if water rolls behind the roof edge, the fascia still gets wet. Missing, short, bent, or poorly layered edge metal can turn a clean gutter job into a callback after the first heavy rain.

This 1.5 x 5 HEM drip edge flashing gives the roof edge a stronger water break: a 5 in roof leg, 1.5 in face, hemmed edge, 26ga metal construction, and measured-by-foot ordering for smarter gutter-edge planning.

Built for Stronger Roof, Fascia, and Gutter Transitions

1.5 x 5 HEM Drip Edge Flashing is a formed roof-edge flashing profile used where shingles, roof deck, fascia, and gutters need to work together. The profile has a 5 in roof leg, 1.5 in face, hemmed edge, and default 120° bend shown in the profile drawing.

For gutter installers, the value is practical: when water runs behind the gutter, the gutter often gets blamed even when the weak spot is the roof edge. A properly planned drip edge, roof-edge flashing, eave flashing, rake flashing, or gutter-edge metal detail helps route runoff where the drainage system can catch it.

This larger 1.5 x 5 profile is especially useful when the roof edge needs more roof-side coverage than compact drip edge profiles and the roof assembly has enough room for the 5 in leg.

This product is sold by the foot. Shipped pieces must be 8 ft or shorter because long flashing is expensive to box, protect, and move through carriers. Longer pieces should be arranged through in-store pickup at GutterAll in Damascus, Oregon or local delivery where available.

Why This Flashing Detail Matters

The roof edge is a small strip with a big job: move water off the roof and into the drainage system without soaking fascia, staining trim, or sending runoff behind the gutter trough.

This HEM profile is a strong choice when the roof and gutter layout needs a wider roof leg and a stiffer finished edge. The 5 in roof leg provides broad coverage, while the 1.5 in face gives the edge a lower-profile drop than 2 in face profiles.

The strongest order starts with three checks: total footage, maximum piece length, and whether the material is being shipped in 8 ft sections or handled locally in longer pieces.

Contractor Applications

How the HEM Drip Edge Profile Works

The 5 in roof leg extends under the roof-edge area according to the project condition. The 1.5 in face runs down toward the fascia and gutter line. The hemmed edge adds stiffness to the exposed edge and helps the flashing hold a cleaner finished profile.

Correct layering matters. Underlayment, roofing material, fascia, gutter placement, fasteners, overlaps, and local requirements all affect the final detail. This flashing should be planned as part of the full roof-edge and gutter assembly, not treated as a stand-alone shortcut.

Who Uses This Flashing?

Setup and Application Guide

1. Measure the full roof-edge or gutter-edge run that needs flashing.
2. Choose the total linear footage needed in the purchase area.
3. Plan piece lengths before checkout, keeping shipped pieces at 8 ft or shorter.
4. Choose pickup or local delivery for longer pieces where available.
5. Confirm the 5 in roof leg and 1.5 in face fit the roof and gutter layout.
6. Check fascia condition, shingle overhang, underlayment sequence, and gutter placement.
7. Cut the flashing with appropriate metal tools and use gloves to handle sharp edges.
8. Dry-fit the flashing before fastening to confirm coverage, alignment, and water path.
9. Install the flashing with compatible fastening and lapping methods for the roof-edge assembly.
10. After gutter installation, inspect the edge during water testing or rainfall to confirm runoff enters the gutter instead of tracking behind it.

Pro Tip

Do not choose drip edge by color alone. Match the roof leg, face height, eave or rake detail, gutter placement, hemmed edge requirement, and underlayment sequence. Pretty metal installed wrong is still wrong — it just fails with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cutting, Handling, and Installation Safety Notice

Metal flashing can have sharp edges, especially after cutting. Use gloves, eye protection, safe cutting tools, and proper handling practices.

Roof-edge and gutter work may involve ladders, roof edges, power tools, and fall hazards. Use safe access methods and follow applicable jobsite safety requirements.

Flashing must be integrated with the full roof-edge water-control system. Poor lapping, exposed gaps, weak fastening, incompatible metals, or incorrect profile selection can reduce performance.

Need Help Confirming Footage, Piece Length, or the Right Roof-Edge Detail?

The right order depends on total footage, piece length, shipping limit, roof-edge layout, gutter position, color, pickup, delivery, and whether another flashing profile is needed. Website chat is the fastest way to confirm before checkout.
