Hager 810S Overhead Rain Drip Guard - Mill Aluminum Finish
The Hager 810S is a vital exterior weatherproofing component designed to divert rainwater and snow away from your door openings. By installing this overhead drip cap on the frame header, you create a physical barrier that prevents moisture from "wicking" into the top of the door or seeping into the threshold. Crafted from durable extruded mill aluminum, the 810S is an essential investment for protecting the structural integrity of both wood and hollow metal doors in exposed locations.
Maximum Protection for Entryways
Water is the primary enemy of door longevity. The Hager 810S acts as a first line of defense, effectively channeling runoff away from the door face. This helps to:
- Prevent Water Accumulation: Channels water away to reduce pooling at the threshold.
- Inhibit Rust and Warping: Minimizes direct water contact that leads to metal corrosion or wood swelling.
- Enhance Safety: Keeps the walking surface of the entry drier to reduce slip hazards.
- Maintain Curb Appeal: Prevents unsightly water stains and streaks on the door and frame.
Why Choose a Longer Drip Guard?
For the most effective weather sealing, it is highly recommended to order your overhead rain drip at least 4 inches longer than your door width. This allows for a 2-inch extension on each side of the frame, providing:
- Enhanced Side Shielding: Prevents wind-blown rain from wrapping around the corners of the door jamb.
- Efficient Runoff: Ensures water is guided completely clear of the vertical door seams.
- Versatile Fit: Accommodates various casing and trim styles for a professional, integrated look.
