Drip Cap Installation – Wood Brickmould Units
1. Measure and cut a drip cap that is as long as
the top brickmould.
2. Apply a continuous 1/4" bead of high-quality,
exterior, neutral-cure clear silicone sealant
(compatible with wood and exterior face of the
wall) to the exterior face of the wall and brickmould
(FIGURE 1). Locate caulk bead on the wall above
the brickmould so the drip cap vertical leg will seal
against the caulk. Caulk must be as long as the
drip cap.
3. Place drip cap on top of brickmould (FIGURE 2)
and center its length on the brickmould. Push tight-
ly down against brickmould and imbed the vertical
leg into the bead of caulk.
4. Nail drip cap in place with galvanized roofing
nails long enough to penetrate framing members
by at least 1-1/2" (FIGURE 3). Place nails every 12
to 16 inches along drip cap’s length.
Improper use of hand and power tools could
result in personal injury and/or product damage.
Follow equipment manufacturers’ instructions for
safe operation. Always wear safety glasses.
