• Sold by foot: the purchase quantity should equal the total linear feet needed.
• Maximum shipped piece length: 8 ft per piece because long metal is costly to package and ship safely.
• Need pieces longer than 8 ft? use in-store pickup or local delivery where available.
• Full-section reference: standard sections may be 10 ft before cutting, but shipped pieces must be 8 ft or shorter.
• Profile size: 3 in roof leg with 1.5 in face.

Key Benefits at a Glance

Tight Roof Edge, Big Water-Control Problem

A gutter can be pitched, sealed, and hung correctly, but if roof water rolls behind the edge, the fascia still gets wet. Tight shingle clearance, missing edge metal, short flashing, bent sections, or poor layering can turn a clean gutter job into a callback after the first heavy rain.

This 1.5 x 3 drip edge flashing gives tight roof edges a cleaner water break: a compact 3 in roof leg, 1.5 in face, 26ga steel construction, .019 in thickness, and measured-by-foot ordering for smarter gutter-edge planning.

Built for Compact Roof, Fascia, and Gutter Transitions

1.5 x 3 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 3 in roof leg, 1.5 in face, 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 compact 1.5 x 3 profile is especially useful when the job needs more fascia-edge coverage than a smaller face profile but has limited room under shingles for a larger roof leg. It is a smart fit for retrofit gutter work, short shingle overhangs, smaller eaves, sheds, garages, outbuildings, and tight roof-edge repairs when the profile fits the roof system.

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 profile is a strong tight-space choice when the roof and gutter layout needs a compact roof leg with a lower finished face. The 3 in roof leg is easier to fit in limited-clearance conditions, while the 1.5 in face gives more coverage than smaller-face edge metal without stepping up to a taller 2 in drop.

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 Drip Edge Profile Works

The 3 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. Together, the formed profile helps bridge the roof edge so runoff has a cleaner route toward the gutter opening.

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 3 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

On tight retrofit jobs, do not force a wider roof leg under shingles if it risks damaging the roof edge. Confirm clearance first, then choose the profile that gives enough water control without creating installation damage.

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.
